I refuse to look; but are they still running the picture of six Scary Black Persons in conjunction with their poisoned well headline? p.s. I know it’s the same guy but in the chaotic jumble of neurons making up Faux veiwer’s anuses, it’s six separate SBPs. ---

> [@smithsb](#): > > I refuse to look; but are they still running the picture of six Scary Black Persons in conjunction with their poisoned well headline? Actually, since criminal is singular and the picture show one person on top and six at the bottom, I thought at first it was the one at top who was the criminal. I suppose I could have read the article, but didn’t want to. ---

Apropos nothing, some years ago I remember being at some restaurant and there was a TV with the (non-Fox) news on in the background discussing a murder in which a black man was apparently killed by a white woman. They had their pictures on the screen labeled in large letters as “Victim” and “Suspect”. That is the only time I’ve seen that and it was pretty clear that it was because without the labels everyone would have automatically assumed theor roles in the incident would be reversed. ---

I can see that on non-Faux news. Faux can’t even get (D) and (R) correct. Most of the behind the scenes workers are either stoned or day drinking based on the content they put out. /end malicious slander ---

The Fox News website has a story today on Boston’s Brigham and Women’s hospital removing a 31-year-old man from the heart transplant list because he refused to be vaccinated against Covid-19. They tagged the story “Heartless”. In the body of the story is the following: “Dr. Arthur Caplan, the head of Medical Ethics at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, told CBS Boston that vaccination is necessary for transplants because the patient’s immune system is essentially turned off.” “The flu could kill you, a cold could kill you, COVID could kill you. The organs are scarce, we are not going to distribute them to someone who has a poor chance of living when others who are vaccinated have a better chance post-surgery of surviving,” he told the station." > **[Boston patient removed from heart-transplant list because he’s not vaccinated...](https://www.foxnews.com/health/boston-patient-heart-transplant-vaccinated)** > > The parents of a 31-year-old in need of a heart transplant at Boston’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital said their son has been removed from the transplant list because he has not been vaccinated for COVID-19, according to a report. They might also have noted that a patient with a full-blown case of Covid-19 would put fellow transplant patients and hospital staff at added risk. The story itself is reasonably presented, not so the slimy editorializing. ---

The economy grew at the fastest pace since the 1980s or something. Nothing on Fox News about it – it would be all they talked about if there weren’t a Democratic president. The weird thing is that the “lamestream” media (CNN, MSNBC) also aren’t trumpeting this to the skies. Where’s that lefty media bias when you need it? The NY Times has it on their main page, but at or below the “fold”, if that means anything online. ---

Given that inflation is also the highest its been since the 1980’s, the economy is kind of a mixed message for Biden. ---

I totally agree, but I’ve been assured that the lamestream media is as bad as Fox, but in the other direction. I guarantee if the economy grew like that during Trump’s or Bush’s term, it would have been a huge headline on Fox all day. ---

He’s correct if by “a typical female problem” he means “being patronized by sexist assholes”. I imagine Harris gets that a lot, as do Watters’ female colleagues. ---

To be fair, Fox News was doing the “many people are saying” bit long before Trump rose to power. Nowadays their preferred method for dressing up opinion as news is by “reporting” on the tirades of their own cable personalities. ---
