Is Fox News really all that bad?

Oh, I did look (on their website), and they did have a story about Stone. It was about how the FBI surrounded his house with a bazillion tanks, scared his wife, scared his dogs and severely manhandled him. Worse than that, somehow cnn found out about the siege and was right there with a camera crew – how did they find out about it in advance?

I realize you’re sharing how Fox is reporting it, but do you know the answer (I suspect you do)?

In case you or others don’t, CNN had reporters stake out Stone’s house 24/7, because they’ve known ever since December, when Mueller subpoenaed a certified copy of the transcript of Stone’s testimony to the House Republicans, the indictment was coming. No one gave CNN a heads up. Just… good old fashioned stake-out reporting.

That’s just what the Deep State leakers want you to believe!

This belongs in this thread as well,

@Smapti

Fox News sez that women who terminate non-viable third-trimester pregnancies are having “recreational abortions”.

If my mother hadn’t had an emergency abortion before she had me, she’d have died, and my sister and I would never have been born. How can you possibly call yourself “pro-life” if you advocate for a system that would kill four at the expense of temporarily preserving someone that was never going to be born anyway?

Fuck you.

“recreational abortion” my god.

Having an abortion is about like having all your wisdom teeth extracted through your butthole. Call it selfish, call it irresponsible if you like, but “recreational” is a word that will never apply.

Well it’s Friday night, nothing much is playing at the movie theater, and you aren’t up to clubbing, why not have an abortion to pass the time.

Sometimes it’s good just to sit down and put your feet up once in a while.

… egregious flaunting of the rules …

I think the problem this whiner is experiencing is that they lack English skills.

They think Wikipedia is run by a cabal of left-wingers out to destroy Trump while letting any infractions, no matter how egregious, by fellow left-wingers slide. Granted, I don’t know if that’s Fox “News” but it sure seems to be, given how IPs in that range go after Trump’s detractors.

If I am not mistaken, someone from an IP assigned to Fox News unleashed an unhinged, conspiratorial rant against Wiki on the Wiki user edit page.

I recall reading that when FoxNews tells stories about GOP politicians who misbehaved they sometimes lie and write “(D)” on the screen to make their gulled viewers think it’s just another story about bad Democrats.

Is this true? Cite? I had an animated discussion with someone today and wonder if I can back up the assertion I made.

ISTR it happening with fair regularity in the previous decade. They pointed it out more than once on The Daily Show. Maybe try this search term or one like it.

I recall several such instances noted in this very thread, back somewhere closer to the beginning. But I can’t easily search with my ‘handheld device’. Sorry!

Thanks.

I’d post amusing details about the conversation and other nearby Trumpists but I don’t want to help super-Google pinpoint my location.
