Fox "News" has no integrity l, just like Trumpophiles, which is why Fox remains silent in the face of Donny's onslaughts.

4 ( +5 / -1 )

Fox has chosen to align themselves to a race rather than reporting news. So they deserve what’s coming to them.

However it’s heartening to see that at least some of their reporters haven’t lost their integrity.

Fox will fall in line. One good thing Trump has done is exposed conservatives as spineless.

I sometimes watch the first minute or so of Hannity and Carlson - just for the laughs - its some of the most bombastic, over-the-top, pure drivel that you'll ever see. Lie after lie, one nut-job conspiracy after another.

I feel sorry for people that actually think these clowns are doing anything but preaching hate and lining their own pockets...

But we know what Donnie's real purpose is here - TNN - its coming - instead of Hannity and Carlson you'll have Huckabee-Saunders and Roger Stone. 5% news and 95% pimping Trump products - anyone for a Chinese-made Trump tie or Ivanka shoe?

Once more, it's all about the Art of the Scam....

the president complains that "Fox isn't working for us anymore."

It's fun to watch if you go in with the right mindset, like it's theatre or something. They usually have two basic points: Democrats hate America and we need you to stand up to them. That's actually a real thing on those shows. "Democrats voted against this law because they hate America." Not because of any of the credible reasons listed outside the bubble, just that they hate America.

And they say it like it's actually a meaningful thing to say.

I am sure it'll be as successful as Trump Casinos, Trump Vodka or Trump Steaks and as educational as Trump University.

That’s not even close to the truth. They will call it as they see it, except Shep and Wallace.

That would depend. One thing that bothers me about conservatives generally speaking, the lack of pushback. I do think that they should get as nasty and rude as Democrats. There have been times when I was growing up in California where o came across some radical socialist that tried to get in my face and lecture me about what and how I should eat and how I should conduct my life and I’ve always pushed back and the problem with a lot of conservatives they feel they’re beyond that and shouldn’t intellectually engage people that they think are intellectually inferior, I disagree. Whatever they come at you with meet them with the exact same force. That is something a lot of conservatives won’t do. This is why I love Tucker, Laura and Hannity. And their stratospheric ratings confirms that.

Yaaaawn, unproven and debunked more than a dozen times.

That's not true at all.

With the least amount of retractions of any cable news outlets, yes, it is.

Are the only two with any credibility ag Fox "News."

With the least watched viewership.

Ratings don't determine credibility. The average Fox viewer is so stupid they have to remind themselves to breath.

No, it hasn't. Your idols are actual racists.

a lot of conservatives they feel they’re beyond that and shouldn’t intellectually engage people that they think are intellectually inferior, I disagree. 

I think part of the issue is that very few conservatives have intellectual inferiors.

And who can forget the Fox superstar Hannity, claiming that he got real estate advice from Cohen.

Its like Trump getting child raising advice from Epstein.

Again it has been proven in there tried so many times and each time debunked, but I know liberals are trying so hard to keep that narrative up and I really admire the tenacity of that attempt Lol. 

If we could move beyond your daily hijackings, do you think it's right for a President to have a Network working for him?

They work for him as much as CNN worked for Hillary as much as msnbc worked for Obama. So you tell me.

Remember Hannity on stage with Trump at a rally?

Can you believe this partisan noisemaker is still taken seriously?

5 ( +5 / -0 )

Hannity taken seriously by millions ROFL, these probably are the same million who take David Duke seriously.

You're making it about conservatives and the President.

It's a story about the President and a far-right 'news' channel. That's literally what the story is about.

This is a long way to say, "Yes, I do believe it is right for a president to have a network working for him."

No they didn't. Neither of those networks altered their reporting due to demands by Obama. Fox has changed their news when Trump demanded.

It was in the Mueller report. If you had read it, you'd know.

I never said that. Those were your words not mine.

Funny, Jefferey Imelt, Sharpton and Maddow over 37 times at the WH and Al, the king of shakedowns as well as Peter Griffin, the largest supporters, don’t give me that.

Fox has changed their news when Trump demanded.

If you believe so.

I read that garbage and saw his deposition, pathetic.

I think you're watching too much Family Guy.

But no, if we're going to deal in reality, then we must be real and admit that Fox altered their news at the demands of the president, while these other networks didn't.

You can try to pretend otherwise, but hey, we figured out years ago that you are not willing to deal with reality.

Many Trump backers, especially his truest believers, believe what the Kremlin reports, not what US and other 'western' nation's intelligence agencies say.

That seems to be a very difficult job for CNN and MSNBC

then we must be real and admit that Fox altered their news at the demands of the president, while these other networks didn't.

According to CNN that’s what they would like you to believe, lol

You can try to pretend otherwise,

I don’t pretend anything, and to be honest I really don’t care, the ratings speak for themselves who the people trust more,That would be an indisputable and irrefutable reality.

One thing that bothers me about conservatives generally speaking, the lack of pushback.

It's the liberals who should push back against conservatives who time and time again try to force feed me their beliefs on me. Conservatives often tell me, "What? You don't go to church every Sunday? You will be doomed to hell!" Conservatives feel that if you don't go to church, and you don't believe in Christ, you're doomed. They are also constantly telling people how divorce is a sin and mixed families are bad.

iPhones have nothing to do with it. You haven't read the Mueller Report.

The Democrats embrace socialism so, I guess that would be the sense of reality.

Um, so do you, Mr. Lets Give Welfare To the Farmers.

Don't think we're stupid enough to believe this fallacy that you aren't just as socialist as we are. You're just only socialist when it's something you like.

You embrace socialism with the bailouts for farmers, that's another reality.

Yes, I have read it and for the most part it was pretty much garbage, and that’s the reason why no one is talking about it anymore except for Nadler. What’s next on the agenda to try and get Trump, CNN is trying in failing, who else.

The tyrant will eventually have his downfall. Not even Fox news will be able to save him. It could be the sexual assault allegations, the Russian links, the obstruction, the dodgy associates, the passing on of classified info to Israel or chats at Mar a Lago, it could be the thousands of lies, the tax returns.

Or it might be the most obvious - the economy.

I don’t embrace it I would never in brace it if it were from cradle to grave, but if it’s temporary.I would except it, let me make that abundantly clear. Why is it that liberals always think temporary help that that we want a full employment of socialism? We do not, we understand that people need help in the bailout every now and then, but that is very different from lifetime entitlements.

2024 take your best shot.

yaaawn, ok

Or it might be the most obvious - the economy.

Probably not, consumer spending is up, wage growth is at 0.7%, 68% of the economy evolves around consumer spending, so as long as that’s up and people are buying which they are and Walmart has seen profits grow, Yeah....liberals can wish and wish and rub that lamp.

-4 ( +0 / -4 )

As long as it’s not entitlements from “cradle to grave” and temporary I’m OK with it

Translation - as long as it doesn't go to the most in need, the marginalised and disenfranchised, you're fine with it.

Oh, great, now I have liberals in my closet.

You certainly seem obsessed with them. Will you be switching over to the Sinclair outlets or OANN in case Fox veers away from its role as mouthpiece for this administration?

I dunno, one could ask the equally ridiculous question that why do nazis always think policies designed to make life fairer for all is a threat to the country?

Yeah....liberals can wish and wish and rub that lamp.

It's no fairy tale with the elite trying to keep the working classes and poor divided in their place.

But the wicked always get their comeuppance. If you've read any Grimm, you'll know that.

Are there any fiscal conservatives on Fox who criticise Trump’s out of control socialist spending?
