sure matey
Yes, fox news is just as bad. Maybe worse because they disguise their bias with a handful of right leaning actors delivering the same message as the rest of the MSM. Fox is owned at least 1/2 by a middle eastern prince who hates Trump. Fox lost their credibility during the primaries. It's a good thing because they showed us their hand trying to get Jeb Bush in office then doing whatever they could to stop Trump. I'll bet if you turn on Fox right now they are presenting the same negative Trump story as CNN but with a slight twist. Remember the boycott? Trump won.

Hows that answer?

That's why the left lost this time around. Because they think they know the difference between opinion and fact.

The burden of proof lies with the accuser... You accuse the media of lying thus must prove.


but to make it even easier... innocent UNTIL proven guilty...


now do you get it?



so where is your proof of wholesale lying? where is it? you need to show a large scale pattern of lying, you will need to show either intent or gross negligence, or both.

Great thread idea. The mainstream media has overall been in the back pocket of the dems for decades, but never, and I mean never had it been close to THIS lopsided. A lot of low information democrats saw all the constant smears on Trump and bought it, writing him off as a terrible person, and this clearly influenced the election. If only the media had a semblance of objectivity it probably could have shifted the vote 5% more in favor of Trump, easily.

We should have an investigation as to where the media was getting money, where it's special interests lie, and what their hidden agenda is(not so hidden from people smart enough to do their own research and think outside the box.) After the media is further and officially exposed as the shills that they then even more democrats will discredit them, and their party will sink into complete irrelevance of dying gasps.

"To find out who controls you, find out who you are not allowed to criticize"-Voltaire. This quote shows you that Trump is in no way a Hitler like dictator that the left suggests. Half the country makes a daily habit of criticizing our president and it requires zero courage to do so.

Actually, what it showed is how many people easily get duped into believing opinion is fact. I feel sorry for cons that they don't understand.

You will never get an answer because they don't have one. They know this, which is why when you ask, they either deflect or run away. It's their standard MO & they never fail to do it. They're so sad.

Now we need 'large scale lying', 'wholesale lying'. It's a pattern, dear. Study the bios and covered up histories of many of the so-called journalists and you'll see the pattern. I do commend you for asking, and wanting to know.

Dnc email hacks... Really how many more times does this need to be brought up? Now please try and defend the media's obvious bias over the past 2 years. You really believe they are being fair?

here let me help you ..


From the "fox's" mouth...

Fox News Is NOT News: Network's Own Ads Label Its Programming As 'Entertainment'


“Fox News has redefined television journalism by fundamentally transforming it from an information medium to an entertainment medium. They dress up their pseudo-news segments in the same melodramatic packaging that entertainment outlets use: conflict, scandal, mystery, and hyper-charged emotions including hero worship and fear.
"Fox employs flashy graphics and attention-grabbing audio whooshes and gongs to decorate their reports that are presented as ‘ALERTS’ regardless of the news value. And always there is sex. Fox’s roster of hosts has more former beauty pageant contestants that journalists. And they aren’t shy about putting their ‘talent’ in revealing clothes and camera angles. In fact, Fox CEO Roger Ailes demands it. As for news, Fox’s concentration on tabloid thrill-fiction like Benghazi and Obama’s birth certificate is the news equivalent of porn.”


It is rather scary that you appear to have believed 24 hour news stations were presenting mostly news, they are not. Check it out, the stations themselves will tell you that..


but it gets worse.
