@Sam_Stone : this is the kind of thing that really – to my recollection – doesn’t have an analogue at any of the major left-of-center news organizations.
And, as somebody who believes that you can only do what the organization supports, I’m sure Ingram and Hannity’s on-air comments on 1/6 were – as was said of Nuremberg – ‘following orders.’
And as to 45 …
At least, on 9/11, when the “nation was under attack,” 43 only read “My Pet Goat” for something like seven minutes.
First, there’s the impropriety of the network having a direct pipeline to the White House and using it in an advisory manner. JFC.
Second, hours after pleading with Don Donald to stop things before they got out of hand, those same opinion leaders were on air saying something entirely different (and have continued since). Fox is a threat to American democracy.
“Terrorist” and “tourist” are similar-sounding words, and if you ask Europeans what American tourists are like, well, maybe the defendants should have demanded a change of venue to Marseille, where their “just a tourist” defense might have been genuinely effective.
I think he is probably the best of the worst. As the old joke goes, Chris Wallace going form Fox to CNN, causes the average integrity of both news organizations to go down sharply.
In this rant about the burning tree, bow-tie-guy asserts that dangerous drug-addicted mentally ill homeless people are still out there roaming the streets because “they are a protected class”.
How is fair and balanced covering the House Jan. 6 investigation? I just looked and didn’t see anything but I’ve missed coverage before, to my chagrin.
This was posted over on the covidiot thread, but I think it also should be posted here. An anti-vax DA in CA recently died and Fox News has this take on it:
Pro-vaxxers? Vaccine supporters?
What’s next? Pro-science? Truth supporters? Pro-education?
