Remember Pravda? It was the national newspaper of the Soviet Union. I believe that Fox News is the mouthpiece of the ruling class in the United States. They handle this in a very clever way. Their delivery is made by two men and a beauty queen who catches every mans eye.

Fox News has invented an entire economic framework to push forth a libertarian agenda.
Fox News is anti-union and while it rarely mentions unions, it supports candidates who are anti union.
Every move that Fox makes is pro-corporate. It cleverly disguises the pro-corporate agenda by calling it conservative.

Fox News has been very successful in appealing to those who at one time made a good living with a HS degree but can't earn enough anymore. They've convinced the people who buy their line of garbage that the liberals and the unions are their enemies. These people who buy into this new line of crap from the new Pravda are not capable of understanding that there is noplace in the USA where they can compete one on one with the Chinese worker.

Harvard-Harris says Fox news is the only neutral news source. 52% negative Trump... 48% positive trump
NBC/ABC/CBS/MSNBC/CNN are all 90+% negative Trump

Gallup consistently says most americans feel fox news is the most balanced

You have *******s like shep smith, juan, chris wallace... along with opinion programming

time for dems to move on. Fox news is truly the best.

CNN is anti trump hysteria, and msnbc is anti trump propaganda.

90% negative coverage of trump demonstrates that the democrats propaganda machine is modeled after TASS.


All the rumors and least probable negative projections are treated as if they were pending reality. That is not the earmark of a free press with expected bias. that is an official propaganda machine at work.


One station, FOX, is outnumbered by CNN, MSNBC, NBC, CBS, NYT and FOX wields such influence?????? Hmmmm?


Add up the forced apologies from the other 'news media' and together they dwarf FOX goofs. Look at the gravity of the errors, and again we see FOX outnumbered cosmically by the official group of media that makes up the socialist/democrat propaganda machine.

Trump lies every day, he and his staff have been under FBI investigation since before the inauguration, the White House has been a revolving door of people getting fired or resigning in disgust. And so even if you have 100% factual reporting of Trump, it's going to be mostly "negative" because he does so many negative things.

Fox puts lipstick on a pig.

FOX is the only news network that approaches objectivity. That is a demonstrable fact.

Vlad revived Pravda. It's still being published and it's still the party mouthpiece, even though Putin's party is no longer Communist.

I believe Fox takes a lot of the Russian phony news and runs with it, but Fox doesn't intentionally align with Pravda.

But Fox is interesting, because even though I don't watch cable news much, as I don't have cable and only see it on occasion, it appears some of its talking heads conflict with other talking heads more than on the other channels.

To me, that shows some of the Fox crew are fact checkers and others are not. Some definitely have a conservative agenda to push, while others do not, and still others just report the daily headline news, whatever it is.

I think it's more neutral now than it was a decade ago, but I'm not sure how objective Fox is. They tend to be more sensational in their newscasts than the others, like tabloid newspapers are, but not all the sensationalism is political.

90% negative coverage of Trump demonstrates that Trump deserves negative coverage.

If there was some media outlet in Nazi Germany that gave 50-50 negative-positive coverage of Hitler, while every other media outlet gave him mostly negative coverage, people like you would be saying the one who gave him 50-50 coverage was factually the only unbiased one.

There there now. Sometimes those Hitler analogies are spot on.

But I didn't even need to use Hitler. I could have used Chavez, or Stalin, or Castro, and it would still be the same thing.
