It’s time to take Fox News’s destructive role in America seriously

Further, since Trump has been so vocal about his FOX support, I've noticed that many anchors lean in more, ask more pointed questions, push back and refrain from knee-jerk defense of Trump.
No, you're not insane! If anyone watches Bill Hammer and that crack round table M-F, they'd see the balance of views. But without the vitriol, specious arguments and mostly, vulgarity and hatred.
The panels are far more balanced and professional on FOX.

Do the liberals ever "win"?

Or are they like the "team" the Harlem Globetrotters play against?

Keeping Fox from hosting a Democratic primary debate is simply an effort to avoid tough questions and stay within the liberal echo chamber. Heaven forbid they'd be asked something other than a lead-in for a Trump attack.

You'd just provide the republican network with ammunition to use against democrats going forward.

Why would anybody do that?

It would be like taking your dates father along on your first date.

Yes, Fox is the only conservative leaning cable network in a sea of liberalism. That fact makes this thread a complete failure. If the array of lib networks are afraid of ONE network that thinks differently than they do, shame on them. Their response is pretty much the same anytime they see something they dislike. They want to make sure nobody else sees it, either.

Conservative leaning you say. Now is that using facts like other networks or alternative facts like the ones kelly ann uses to help us understand what the president meant. As an example, most competent networks showed the president saying mexico would pay for the wall. Fox in their alternative world said the base all knew he was 'embellishing' and mexico wasn't really going to pay. Facts are now a sea of liberalism to the right. It really is sad to see so many so-called republicans selling their souls to trump.

So we're whiners again?

It was kind of fun to be so angry we needed to be told to settle down or we'll lose the midterms.

Back to standard programming,eh?

If they can't handle tough question then they shouldn't be POTUS.

It’s always been a GOP mouthpiece, but now it seems utterly subservient to one man.

The usual suspects will sputter “but CNN ... but MSNBC ...” Whatever. There is no rational comparison.

That's right, because comparing one news program to another is, for some strange reason, not allowed...

Give me a ****ing break.

They only win when they eat each other and even then. It's nothing but a surefire loss for them.

You can compare them all you want. The comparison just won't be valid.

Fox is up Trump's ass, 24/7, much more than MSNBC or CNN were for Obama. Period, end of conversation.

I worked in the business. I can forget more about journalism in one day than you've ever known, so, with all due respect, go fuck yourself.

Fox News has always been partisan. But has it become propaganda?

What RT and Sputnik are to Vladimir Putin, Fox News is to Donald Trump. His own propaganda/apologia network.

Leftists are completely brainwashed, it seems. Democrats are deceived themselves and deceiving others with little awareness of how far out of touch with reality they actually are.

Actually if anything were to be comparable, it would be how much free advertisement that all the others gave Trump through the election. Whereas FOX just covered the news and then made fun of the other network, or whatever the newest retarded, liberal propaganda piece was for that week, in their opinion runs. But all in all that is neither here, nor there.

You can lie to me all you want, and to everyone else on this thread. But we already know that the other media groups like MSNBC and especially CNN. Were the propaganda wing for the DNC throughout 2016. They did all they could to promote Hillary and in more than a few cases served to quash any dissension about her. While doing all they could to damaged Trump with nearly every opportunity that presented itself. FOX? They just covered the news and had their same fun with their opinion pieces. While still having opposing positions to Trump' as well.

MSNBC & CNN. All of their reporting, televised and otherwise. Became almost nothing but opinion pieces.

So you can go ahead and lie to yourself as much as you want. It really isn't going to help you in the least.

I have given you no context as to my prior career, and all you can do is scream "FAEK NOOZ!"

Your opinion is dismissed as being without any factual merit.

LOL. Ah, you're too much.

Defending Fox News as "balanced" while decrying MSNBC and CNN as "nothing but opinion pieces" is the same shameless dishonesty I expect to see from you. Everything you post is an abject lie.

Really? An abject lie... that would be a tall order to actually prove.

Seeing as even on this subject, your authority is suspect at best. Then again, this is you I'm talking to. Given your history on this site, it's easier to see who's more prone to telling lies and just running off at the mouth.

But come now, you can't really be serious?
We saw just how sad things could get with CNN covering for Hillary through that whole wikileaks debacle and even in the end, they could just keep people from looking into the files. FOXs coverage of the whole scandal was nowhere near the size of CNNs and they still just made fun of it. Even when it comes to pushing lies and spreading fake news. CNN has been caught pushing the hands up don't shoot myth that came along with BLM. As well as selectively editing video to sell their own lies.

Hell, three journalist with CNN had to be given the boot. Because they were caught lying. Though this could be a notable downside to them usually offering more stories than FOX. It just really doesn't help their image in the greater scheme of things.

I also never said that FOX was balanced. So there is another lie, plucked from your post.

It just looks more and more, that you're shouting "whataboutisms" to keep from having to face an actual comparison.

Yep, shout em down, shut em down.
 
One thing we can thank FAUX NEWS for is helping us identify those people that personify
' The Dumbing Down of America.' Now we can hopefully re-educate those 35-40 percent of Americans who worship an amoral, wannbe commie dictator and traitor, and get this country headed back in the right direction again.

This appears to be another example of someone who not only doesn't understand the difference between hard news and political opinion, but has a raging progressive hard-on for Fox News.

I think this video by journalist Tim Pool is about the most honest and unbiased evaluation of not only Fox News, but CNN and a host of online news sources as well. It's a webcast he did last August and I recommend it to everyone here, regardless of your political lean or your opinion about Fox News.
