Could Fox News kill the military parade?

Showy displays of patriotism  the U.S. military and a Republican president: Fox News adores all three of these things  as 20-plus years of broadcasting amply attest. Now theyâre all coming together in  President Trumpâs  wish that the Pentagon stage a military parade to one-up the version that  he  witnessed on Bastille Day last year at the Avenue des Champs-Elysees in Paris  as The Washington Post reported on Tuesday.
Host Shepard Smith turned the anchor voice to the max-snark setting at the top of the 3 p.m. hour: âAnd nations like Russia  France and North Korea hold regular military parades. Washington hasnât seen one since  like  1991. But  President Trump  says  it âs time to roll out the tanks. âI want a parade!â â
Hereâs hoping  for once  that  the president  was tuning in to Fox News  the better to effect a flip-flop from this embarrassing idea.
Trouble is   he  might just hit the wrong segment. In the 8 a.m. hour Wednesday  the notion of tanks roaring down Pennsylvania Avenue received a vote of confidence from Fox News White House correspondent Kevin Corke in a report for âFox & Friends.â âI gotta tell you: That looks like it would be an absolute blast. Ideally it would happen on the Fourth of July weekend. Iâd love to see it. Iâm sure we would have the show right down here â said Corke from the White House lawn. âCan I just put out a call for that? âFox & Friendsâ live on the Mall if it happens.â
