How Fox News is destroying our country, for profit.


Oct 14, 2020, 9:35 PM

In May, it was a conspiracy that Fox News portrayed as one of the greatest — if not the greatest — political scandals in American history.

Tucker Carlson called it a "domestic spying operation" that was "hidden under the pretext of national security." Laura Ingraham characterized top Obama administration officials as having been "exposed." And Sean Hannity flatly declared it to be the "biggest abuse of power, corruption scandal" the country had ever seen.

That was in May. But yesterday, the 'unmasking scandal' investigation by Barr quietly ended. With no indictments. The scandal was a nothing burger that Fox pushed to gain and retain viewers in order to garner more ad revenues.

The point is that Fox, via it's prime time lineup, pushes disinformation and conspiracy theories for money. James Murdoch, son of Rupert Murdoch who owns News Corp which owns Fox, resigned from News Corp's board of directors last month citing "News Corp affiliates in the US and Australia push disinformation in order to hide truth."

That's not me, or Dems or anyone, but the son of the owner.

But Fox will and has simply moved on to more lies.

You were correct that they exposed the truth, unfortunately we have a corrupt judiciary starting with Bob Barr, so no charges were filed. But stay tuned.

Lately it has become so easy to pick the Fox zealots out of the crowd. They literally live in their own carefully constructed, alternate realities and go all batshit when you question this parallel universe.. It is like in the back of their minds they know they are wrong, but instead conciously refuse to accept that they are fugging morons who will believe anything out of pride and just plain stupidity.

It’s not just Fox News


Oct 14, 2020, 10:24 PM

I travel I-85 from Charlotte to Atlanta Probably 10-15 times/year (in a normal year anyway) and will sometimes listen to Rush, Hannity, or any number of right wing talk shows for the entertainment value.

Some of the stuff they talk about is absolutely nuts and they say these things so casually. The callers are even crazier...if that’s even possible.

The thing that amazes me the most are the large number of stations carrying national and local right wing shows at all hours of the day/night. I almost feel sorry for these folks...because if this is what they are exposed to day in and day out, they have just been conditioned/indoctrinated. It’s like a disease.

I say all this as a former Republican...the party left me when they embraced idiots like Rush and got in bed with the evangelicals...the shame is that anyone under 40 doesn’t remember the party when it used to be sane.

Now slam every other news network, paper, social media site, etc. for the collusion hoax.... I’ll wait.

Anyway, saying that the unmasking was done by people that were authorized to do it, doesn’t make it OK with me. Unmasking at a rate never seen before, much higher than after 9-11, just to spy on the Trump team? Give me a fkn break. Trump is a dope, but the Dems are downright evil in their quest for power.

I guess risking agents and others has been determined to be OK. Well, that is being countered by declassification of the Hillary scandal info currently in the works. Everyone's name is going to be public. I just hope all the involved agents that were reassigned to hide info, get called back home before they are exposed.

who breathlessly pushed and propagated a false Russian collusion story for 3 years.

It is an indisputable fact that the majority of the media and big tech are a bunch of leftists who will push their agenda without regard to truth, fact, or fairness. Pushing the desired leftist narrative is their prime directive above all else. If that requires the sin of omission or just upfront lying then that is what they will do - for the leftist narrative must be promoted at all costs. If that weren't troubling enough, these same media and big tech behemoths want to also silence ANY voice that dares to challenge their leftist dogma - thus the continual complaining from the left about the only main stream conservative competitor on cable - Fox News.

So please spare me the "Fox News is destroying the country" BS because your fellow travelers in the leftist dominated media dumped any semblance of impartiality or commitment to truth long ago in order to become the propaganda outlets for their leftist political masters in DC...

And what amazes me is that so many who pride themselves


Oct 14, 2020, 10:36 PM

(and I mean really, REALLY pride themselves) on being knowledgable, educated, and clever, are completely oblivious to this. I was recently discussing this with such a person who happens to be a very close relative; a hard core, very left-wing socialist democrat. He actualy said, with fervent conviction, that NBC/MSNBC, NYT, Wash Post, etc. had a "slavish dedication to the truth, with no bias whatsoever".

Fox and trump are so full of lies and cons it’s almost comical. Don’t try to redirect by saying that the “main stream media” is left, etc. etc. Fox made up the term main stream media as a way to divide the country and distinguish themselves. The bottom line is all media outlets feed us a lot of BS, usually for the purposes of political gain. However, fox and trump go further than BS, they simply and blantantly lie to further their goal of dividing Americans, i.e. divide and conquer. Fox does so for media market share and trump does so to satisfy his narcissist need for power. Period. If you’re too thin skinned and gullible to process this info, then you will likely live the remainder of your life as the victim of a simple con job (FoxNews). Keep in mind, fox will continue the con even after this New York street smart con man is out of office.

Here is an objective chart (based on the study of thousands of stories & coverage) of the most popular media outlets in the country. They are ranked left to right based on bias and top to bottom based on factual accuracy.

Where do your sources of news rank?? (remember upper and middle would be best)

Thank you for proving TigerBTM’s point. Fox News has got ya. You can forget the word “collusion”. Fox and trump introduced that word since they knew it’s not a legal term and therefore trump could never be guilty of “collusion”. Regarding Russian interference, it was an issue, still is an issue and will likely become more of an issue once bob Barr is out of office. It’s absolutely comical (and sad) that folks don’t recognize the mini deep state that trump has created. Trump, Barr and many cabinet members are not governing a democracy, but instead are attempting to grab and maintain the powers of a dictator. Let’s see if he let’s Barr decide the election in the courts. Tabby, you appear to have the plague of being one of the weak sheep blindly following trump and fox.

How would characterize the MSM, especially CNN & MSNBC who, 24/7, have bashed Trump for FOUT years, refuse to hold the dems accountable, tell more lies than a drunken sailor, are in the bag for Biden and have virtually NO credibility left? YOU MUST BE KIDDING OR JUST PLAIN IN HUGE DENIAL. I expected more from you. You do disappoint.

Ok it’s clear you’re in real deep, very very deep. Just a little heads up, you’re not gonna wake up and recognize that fox is a pile of lies and cons by continuing to only watch Fox. This is the feedback loop of self affirmation, Fox knows they got ya. But don’t feel too bad, you’re not the only person that has been conned by a New York street smart fast talking bankrupt pro-choice fraudulent make up wearing reality tv star. Other than that, you’re in good company.

There have been a number of studies conducted that indicate that Fox News viewers are less informed than those who watch no news at all.

Come back 1:

No one was exonerated in the report.

Thus, as the left does, we will keep believing and saying they are guilty.
---------------------------------
Come back 2:

But wait, Barr is a tool for the right, right? There is no possible way Barr could be objective and follow the rule of law - we know this because you have told us this.

So which is it? Is Barr a good guy or not?

"Sits on the couch and tweets"

And moves the US Embassy to Jerusalem. And cracks down on China's unfair trade practices. And gets prison reform done. And numerous other things presidents have vowed for decades to do but never did.

His China trade policies have been an absolute disaster. China has made between 15 and 20% of the purchases that Trump’s “deals” mandated. The Chinese conned Trump.
