It's easy to say oops, sorry. I have watched Fox distort the truth many times. I object to their use of fair and balanced.

I agree with eocrnberger

Fox News has the most fair and balanced news coverage

But the opinionated talking heads on the commentary shows do lean conservative

The torch, I mean blame, has been officially passed from Bush to Trump.

Yep.... Obama has set the blame game bar pretty high - let's see if Trump is up to the task.

You do realize the establishment GOP got their asses handed to them by the same guy, right?

Sure. And in off election Obama & Pelosi got their asses handed to them including this year. Difference being Trump has never held even a local town alderman job and he won against Hillary, who was first lady, Senator and Secretary of State. Even Obama who won had local Illinois Senate experience and was for a short time Senator in D.C. :shrug:

I disagree. Leaning right is not balanced or fair.

Did you actually read what he said?

Is conservatism to blame whenever Republicans lose elections?

I don't know. It hasn't happened enough in the last 16 years to get a good sampling.

LOL- First off. It's just a slogan.

But secondly -it's true isn't it? Aren't they trying to balance the overwhelming lw bias in the media. ? NBC ABC CNN and CBS are all lw -shouldn't there be at least one right wing outlet on tv? That' s fair isn't it? Or should they all just be DNC shills?

I can think of two pretty big ones.

Two being the important takeaway. Another important number is one thousand and seven.

Also, it appears the two will have been for naught.

I have listened to CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, and NBC, I object to their use of the word "news".

Yes, Hillary was a bad candidate...

but you are bragging about the Democrats being beaten by Trump, when your own party got beat by the worst of their 16 candidates that were running. Trump essentially OWNS your party now...and the establishment hates it.

Good? This election was meant to send a message to those establishment go along get along chumps, start fighting for what you campaign on or get the hell out of the way.

I'm pointing out how bad one must be to be beaten by Trump and how out of touch Democrats were. The denial and tears continue now a month after the election - either learn and change for the better or be doomed to repeat. Hillary wasn't just bad, she was FATAL to the Democrats yet it was her turn, so Bernie was discarded.

Unbelievable. Fox News was the only balanced reporting out there. We can't have THAT now, can we??

No rational individual believes that Fox is Fair and Balanced. It's not. It's right-wing rag news entertainment. Now our other media outlets may be left-wing rag news entertainment, but that doesn't make Fox fair and balanced. Just biased and unbalanced in the opposite direction.

He just cant seems to stop blaming anyone but himself, liberalism, and the message itself for their inability to convince more people to vote for them. No, its always Fox News, race, or communication thats the problem. I cant say that Ive ever seen Fox News on a TV in a bar or restauraunt anywhere. Its always sports.

In a way, I suppose he is right. They did say people cling to their guns and bibles. That theyre racist and deplorable. If thats not disrespect...

Well I don't know if Fox News did too much, and we have MSNBC and CNN and such that go the other direction. But he did say

but part of it is also Democrats not working at a grassroots level, being in there, showing up, making arguments.

So you sort of shot yourself in the foot with the whole "He just cant seems to stop blaming anyone but himself, liberalism, and the message itself for their inability to convince more people to vote for them." thing since...yes he did blame his party and their inability to convince people to have voted for him.
