Fox has taken the exact same story and under Obama, made it evil but under Trump, they actually played Glory Glory Hallelujah. The exact same story. It is insane.

They got it right. Every time Obama was allowed to negotiate, he just gave away the farm. Thank God he never met with Kim!
No, it was not just various politicians, it was Fox News hosts!!! The Trump worship is deep but come on.

It's politics.


We won. It worked. Did Obama back down because Fox News jeered him?
That would be pretty stupid.

I remember a segment on Fox from 2004 or so after France opposed the Iraq war. They filmed people pouring French wine into a gutter. Was that newsworthy? No. It was pretty risible actually.

That said, I do believe CNN has gone beyond anything Fox ever did in ridiculousness. And most liberals agree with me, as they prefer MSNBC for liberal leaning news without the schlock you see on CNN.

The exact same scenario as shown in that video. It's an excellent excellent comparison of what Fox does.
Cons heads would explode if CNN did that

Pointed out by no one else but that minority of mouth-breathing degenerates that worship the current POTUS. You're the definition of an echo-chamber dweller, thinking your opinion is the norm, when it's the anomaly.

Then admit that this isn't about CNN, it's about who has the best propaganda. If the point is not that Fox just took the same story and portrayed it in opposite directions but that "it worked", then just stop pretending.

That's what I mean.
The sort of nonsense in your post is the same sort of thing we get from CNN. It has polluted The Left and they believe hate speech and ridicule will win voters. Go figure.
It has destroyed the Democratic Party and De Niro is a good example. Without CNN's lead we would never hear that sort of counterproductive trash talk.

So now you are saying Fox News is not a news outfit at all. But really a lobbying group for the GOP. Since they did not register as such that would be illegal. Base on that you are supporting a criminal operation.

No one is pretending anything. CNN has a rather dumb approach to promoting their candidate. Fox was smarter; had better people; was more appealing.

Without CNN (or in my case MSNBC) we would never hear anything but the propaganda spewed by right wing news and swallowed whole by Trump's worshipful supporters. When history is written, Fox will be likened to Tokyo Rose.

Fox News is simply willing to full out LIE. That's all. They were and are willing to take the exact same story and portray it, not just differently, but absolutely opposite for a Democratic president vs. a Republican president. They are simply willing to do that with no qualms. That's not "smarter", it's simply willing to do things that a news station wouldn't be willing to do.
