I saw this and I can't believe how absolutely clairvoyant Fox was five or six years ago

Can;t be simply partisan bias at Fox or anything.

Truly ama

 
What if CNN covered left wing presidents the way it covers Trump? :mrgreen:

Do you have a video that illustrates this?

Oof. You could cut the hypocrisy with a knife.

CNN - Media Bias/Fact Check

Are you going to lower yourself to arguing that CNN doesn't have a left wing bias?

No, CNN is definitely left biased. But unfortunately for Fox, there is no video illustrating the glaring hypocrisy of CNN's coverage of Obama vs Trump. Probably because Obama knew how to avoid giving Fox a mountain of ammo. So much so that they had to lower their standard of outrage to complaining about his golfing trips to Florida, and then suddenly raise their standard of outrage so high that it is now okay for the President of the United States to cheat on his pregnant wife with a porn star and pay for her silence.

I'm sure CNN and liberals in general never complained about Trump golfing. ;)

A better question: What if Trump hating media...virtually ALL mainstream media, including Fox...covered Trump like they covered Obama.

The most obvious result would be that there is ZERO media-induced division in the US. (and probably in the world)

I don't watch Fox and I'm not a Republican. I fully acknowledge their bias. Hypocritical partisans dominate both sides of the paradigm and I like taking dumps on their circle jerks.

Trump complained twenty-seven times about President Obama playing golf.

I am aware that Donald criticized Obama for golfing. Do you realize that somebody else's hypocrisy does not erase or excuse your own? It just means you're all hypocrites.

Whatabout is your friend.
I suppose if everyone covered trump like they covered Obama,
they would be going ape poopy over his runaway spending and out of control national debt,
going snaky about his 250 golf days while in office,
screaming about kissing foreign dictator arse,

Course Obama didn't regularly stick his entire leg in his mouth. he never kissed Putin's arse or trashed his intell community or claimed to know more than anyone else (until he didn't), didn't constantly congratulate himself, didn't lie and withhold his taxes, didn't remain in private business, didn't hire his own family and didn' every defend the very nice people on the far right. so if they did cover trump like obama they'd still have to trash him for his incompetent laziness.

You are the hypocrites pretending to be such good American 'patriots' to the United States when in effect you are royally ****ing this country by supporting this bastard of a man.

If the left meida was just anything close to 50/50 in their reporting and honesty it would be a dramatically different situation. They never give Trump any credit for anything but accuse him of every vile thing they can. And they make up crap.

That can't be done. Trump is a total looser who only cares about himself. There is no fair coverage of a person like that. He needs booted from the WH ASAP.

I am sure CNN would agree with that. And National polls are turning in that direction. What would you expect CNN to do? Lie and give out propaganda supporting this AH?

That's Fox's job. And their doing a fine job at it.

I don't support Donald Trump. I know it's very hard for you to think outside of the black and white, but do try to keep up.

Obama had his moments...such as, "If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor." The mainstream media didn't hammer him on that like they should have. They didn't hammer him when he drew his line in the sand in Syria...and then let the Syrians walk all over it. They didn't hammer him when he delivered pallets of cash...in multiple currencies and denominations...to Iran.

There is so much more the media let Obama get away with that they would NEVER let Trump get away with.

Hell, they didn't even hammer Obama when he told the Russians to just wait till after the election.

Jonsa...please try to be honest, eh?

I see 4 issues mentioned with Obama over 8 years. Trump has hundreds an 3.5 years.

By the way, I kept my doctor and 12 years later, still seeing the same guy.

Sorry but Obama's moments just don't add up. He's currently the most popular politician in America. Hate him if you need to, it ain't working.

Am I mistaken to believe that when Obama told the Russians to hold off till after the election, he was the current president. He can say what ever he want's to Putin.

That was four issues off the top of my head. There were A LOT more that would have resulted in Obama being hammered if the media treated Obama the way they treat Trump.

How about the Obama IRS hand delivering a stack of CD's with millions of taxpayer files...to the FBI? How about the Obama administration being found in contempt of court during the Gulf oil leak?

That's two more off the top of my head.

Hell, I bet you haven't even heard of those...and for good reason: The media covered for Obama during his entire presidency.

So can Trump...except for the media attacks he's received. The attacks that Obama didn't receive.
