Is Fox News really all that bad?

Please see my post a couple up: Laughing WITH Trump.

The top Fox hit on my Google News feed is:

Kavanaugh showed his daughters what it means to fight for what’s right – even when it’s hard

“We report; you decide.” Got it.

I watched just a few minutes of Fox this morning because that’s all I can handle. They are at a State Fair in Texas enjoying fried oreos. Blech, those things are nasty.

The two on site reporters had their cowboy hats on backwards, apparently. Also, Bill Maher mocked McCain or something according to the LARGE banner at the bottom of the screen.

Off to google Bill Maher.

Bill Maher said “Linsey Graham needs the stabilizing influence of his dead boyfriend”.

Isn’t fighting when it was hard what got him in trouble in the first place?

This probably could also go under the irritating business names thread as well, but just the name–Fox “News”-- irritates me no end. Why?! Because they report very little actual news, while acting like their opinionated hate-the-left/justify-the-right/defend-Trump opinion shows are the same as actual news reporting.

How do they do that? Simple: they refuse to have an “Opinion” header on their opinion shows, therein leading the unwary viewer who doesn’t know better to think that news is being reported 24 hours a day, even on the opinion and talk shows (the latter being Fox and Friends, Outnumbered, Cavuto, The Five, The Ingraham Angle, Hannity, and in the past, The O’Reilly Factor).

Simply put: if Fox “News” is showing an opinion show, they need to say so, and not expect people to believe that talking heads represent news coverage!

Is this satire? Can we please pretend this is satire so that I can sleep tonight?

The replies to that are awesome.

“Fox News still called Fox News despite not being anchored by foxes”

LOL

:slight_smile:

And then :mad: at Trump still.

Fox runs a story of a murderer who was a registered sex offender and illustrates the story with a photo of Senator Kamala Harris with a little boy.

I’d prefer to see him pull a Mike Tyson on Carlson.

Yes.

Can we move this to General Questions…then close it?

What the fuck was that about? Fox is either going full-out racist or they are just incompetent nitwits. Looking at Carlson and Hannity, it’s most likely both of those descriptors.

they are both full-out racists and incompetent nitwits :mad:

I check in on them, ever once in a while, when I feel maybe my blood pressure is a bit low. Seems to me like Tucker Tucker Bug Fucker is putting some pressure on the Big Giant Head. He rolls around in his Star Wars onesie dreaming of Trump calling him on the phone.

People are saying the bitterness is born of love gone wrong. Really, nobody knows how these internet rumors get started.

Fox & Friends defend Trump calling the media the enemy of the people:

He is just so misunderstood. Bigly. Sad.

Foxnews stoked fears that immigrants are bringing (not might be bringing) smallpox into the country. Smallpox. A disease that hasn’t had a single case worldwide in 40 years.

“We have these individuals coming in from all over the world that have some of the most extreme medical care in the world,” Ward said. “And they’re coming in with diseases such as smallpox and leprosy and TB [tuberculosis] that are going to infect our people in the United States.”*

“Infect our people”. Lovely. I believe the term he’s looking for is Lebensunwertes Leben.
