> [@Euphonious\_Polemic](#): > > If you want to start a thread about how CNN and MSNBC are biased, fill your boots. Until then, it looks very much like you’re trying to change the channel (pun intended) As I previously said, I doubt anyone would dispute bias by most news media outlets. This is about LYING. That’s different than bias. See right above for an example of LYING. ---

If you believe MSNBC, CNN, and Fox are all equally biased and untrustworthy then you are not fully informed or aware of the quality of reporting presented by these networks. Particularly Fox, the lying fucks. ---

“according to cops and Republicans in the state.” That’s kind of an odd qualifier… ---

I believe what it means is that Rs and the police are claiming that crime is spiraling in the state, whilst others are running around with unburnt hair. ---

I saw a clip recently of The Five. It’s a FOX discussion show where they have nutters like Jeanine Pirro, Gutfeld! and Jesse Watters talk absolute horseshit, while being “balanced” by someone only slightly less bonkers, like Geraldo. Recently they have make the mistake of having one panellist – Jessica Tarlov – who can confidently explain why the RW talking point of the day is silly. Anyway, the point is just that I saw a clip of The Five, where Jesse let the mask drop for a minute. He laughingly mocks several of the silly conspiracy theories that people like Pirro repeat with a straight face, before asking to go to commercial. The other panellists don’t join in his laughter – you’re not supposed to make fun of the viewers _this_ blatantly! Alas, I can’t seem to find the clip though.
