When you stop supporting Trump because he does something that offends you so very much, I'll believe you. But since you won't do that, we all know you are just making fraudulent posts.

Orange man bad doesn't excuse bad behavior, as much as you want to pretend it does.

I'll criticize people for their looks. I've done it my entire life. I criticize Trump's looks. I commented on and laughed at Obama's floppy ears. I made fun of McConnell's neck. I laugh at the idiotic look on Tucker Carlson's face when he's interviewing people. I'm distracted by Sarah Sanders' and Shannon Doherty's out of symmetry eyes.

I do plenty of it and have since I was young. Which is why I don't ride the asses of here of people who do. I simply don't care.

So you're shallow and judgmental.

Good for Sanders. I look forward to hearing her opinions and insight.

I’m sure her insights will be furnished by the Second Floor, as all Fox News presenters are.

Just as I’m sure that she will be the first exception to Fox’s formerly ironclad rule that all female presenters appear in short skirts.

Your ignorance of the talented women who host on-air shows at FOX is showing.

I know who most of them are. I wouldn’t give you a dime for the journalistic chops of most of them or anyone else on Fox News.

I listen to Fox New’s audio feed on Sirius during the day. I’ve heard the presenters. I’ve heard “The Five” (which is stiflingly moronic).

All I miss is the legs.

Your response is telling. Fox DOES have a policy that female presenters appear in skirts, and they are almost always shown full on for much of their air time.

I don’t think most of them are dumb. They know they are entertainers first. They also understand that the Fox business model involves pitching to an unsophisticated, older and very low brow audience.

Great legs are a better tool for that than journalism.

Hmmm. So since you are a fan, (Fox, Sirius, during the day) you're admitting you're unsophisticated, older, and very low brow.

I applaud your candor.

I am not, and never have been a fan of the Fox propoganda machine.

It has never been anything more than right wing AM talk radio with pictures.

I listen periodically during the day to see how the noise machine reports or spins stories. Or fails to report them at all.

They have a lot on their plate. Hardly a day goes by without a car chase (one this morning), a fire in an obscure small town, a “scandal” picked to promote the sense of white victimhood in the audience, attacks on intellectuals and fake stories about staged encounters with people who fit the sort of sterotypes taht Fox promotes. It’s all very repetitive and predictable.

Talk radio with pictures is what Roger Ailes had in mind.

And he holds a record. He is the only political operative ever to head a television news organization.

AS if that holds any political clout or wins elections. Ive always wonder why people like to claim fox is #1 in ratings. In reality it means nothing except that the corporation is doing well.
It doesnt mean jack sht in political battles.:2wave:

Democrats in the media treated her terrible for no other reason than she worked for Trump. Bunch of classless bozo's who couldn't report news if it hit em in the face. They have what they want now, full access to the President on a regular basis. Every time he heads for Marine I he gives them 30-45 minutes of questioning time.

She was proven to have lied for her boss. She spread misinformation. And she tried to manipulate the First Amendment as if this were Cuba.

She was sent out there to lie for the Trump administration. We can blame her for agreeing or not, but that was her job.

And she was frequently overheard right before a press briefing "Please, please, PLEASE! For the love of GOD don't make me go out there and say that! F*** I hate this job!"

LOL!

Criticize her about her job? Perfectly okay.

But when you go into looks and just be demeaning, that's over the line. Its undeserved.

Fox News release: “Fox News has been the number one news organization in the country for 17 years running ..."

"Listen periodically".

So it's your job to prepare talking points for the Progressive Machine?

I'm 57 and have a big circle of friends. And a lot of co-workers. And my husband has a lot of co-workers and comes from a large family, as do I.

I don't know anyone who lost his or her doctor as a result of the ACA being passed.

I lost my doctor once. In 2006. Because she moved to a different practice about 8 towns away and that practice didn't accept my Anthem BC/BS HMO.

Where was your doctor and why did he or she fire you as a client?

And it didn't stop her from lying from the podium, not once but twice, about her imaginary friends in the FBI telling her how much they appreciated Trump firing Comey.

These sorts of right wing memes make no sense at all.

Two of the favorites seem to be this “keep your doctor” meme, and the other one is about having “choice” in health insurance.

100% of the people who rant that health insurance reform means they will lose their doctor, don’t bat an eye when they lost their doctor if they change jobs (and thus, insurance), or if their employer picks a different policy.

Which brings me to the myth about choice. The overwhelming majority of Americans have no choice at all. They get what their boss picks out for them.

Since most people don’t have that many encounters with hospitals and specialists on a regular basis, there seems to be a tendency to view insurance as a binary choice. You either have it, and the assumption is that it’s all the same, or you don’t.

But spend any time in a hospital and you will quickly find that there are vast variations in treatment and care options depending on which insurance companies decide they will pay for. The patient has little or no choice. And the doctors, hospitalists, specialist and pharmacists will pick treatment options based on what they know they are going to get paid for.

If I said that I'm older than you and had a larger circle of friends, would that make me more valid than you?
