Here let me help you out. I guess you are one of those that do not know the difference between News and Commentary.

Fox - Napolitano fake story, "Trump working weekend" fake breaking news story.

Napolitano is Not a News reporter. He is paid to give his opinions etc. I am quite sure that Trump did some work on the weekend. Kind of hard not to being in a 24 / 7 job.

MSNBC - Rachel overhyping Trump tax returns.

Rachel Maddow did not have Trumps Tax return(s). She lied she only had a couple of pages of one very old return ( 2005). She is also considered Not a news Reporter, but is a commentator.

As in
" Rachel Anne Maddow (born April 1, 1973) is an American television host, political commentator, and author.
LOL. Let me help you out a little. The tweet said "news alert" not "commentary alert." Also it said he was working at the White House, not just working.

lol this whole conversation and forum is based on ideology. Anyone taking Moon seriously needs their head examined.

Let's see what he left has created and what zombies follow.

Gender is fluid
Multiple genders is normal
Political correctness
Snowflakes
Marijuana states
Killing an unborn baby is normal
Government is your religion and feel good place to help people
Adults need to be on their Mommy and Daddy's insurance

Wow this list is going to continue. I'll just stop here as this conversation is boring already.
This is literally the definition of IDEOLOGY being more important that FACT.

The opinions are being presented as legitimate news, pcgeek11, that's the entire problem. It is known that Rachel Maddow, John Oliver, &c are commentators. Fox News presents itself as a real-honest-to-goodness news channel.

Another one...

Hannity and OReilly hide behind this foul idea of being an "opinion show" as if that gives them justification to use any and all "alternative facts" and FAKE NEWS to authenticate their opinions and political positions.


By using the fake news and Alternative facts spewed all over the internet and dark corner news sites they are not just an opinion show. They are mainstream propaganda.

An argument could be made that if his Twitter Account was taken from him he would begin a tantrum the likes of which has never before been seen and would likely last for the rest of his days. His worshippers would miss his tweets a lot as well. They need constant prodding to stay in line.

PC: "Another one" what? You're attempting a false equivalence here and you know it. I guess it's not for nothing your avatar is a whiny little baby: dumb, infantile, incapable of independent thought, and probably sitting in a puddle of its own urine and shit.

Oh I see. News organizations can tweet blatantly false news because you don't want to admit Fox News made a false statement.

First it would be completely stupid to get your news from a tweet.

Next, well there is no next. See First.

Another one that cannot tell commentary from news.

What is the "false equivalence" that I am presenting. There is nothing equivalent about it. Commentary does not equal News.

Typical liberal name calling and degradation tactics. Nice.

Yes, a post on the fox news website is more legitimate than a tweet by fox news because reasons.

Thanks for proving my point for me, PC-whatever. End-stage Dunning-krugeritis is an awful disease, made all the worse by the anosognosia that accompanies it :/

This thread: conservatives who have zero ability to discern quality of news analysis. Zero surprise to anyone.

So every now and then I watch a little Fox News just to see what they are feeding the flock and the crazy. Sometimes they forget that someone with critical thinking skills might be watching and they'll actually come straight out and say the stuff they usually dog-whistle around. That's how you could tell that there was never an intention to replace ObamaCare, which is why they didn't have a plan ready.

So I watched Jeanne Pirro give her impassioned defense of Trump the other night , basically ripping Paul Ryan a new one for not delivering either the votes or a decent bill. Then I saw part of a Trump progress report town hall meeting that had a bunch of ordinary people raving about how awesome Trump was and what a great job he was doing. They were also doing a lot of reporting on crimes committed by immigrants.

Then something about the tone, the vocabulary, the cadence, the phrasing used in the pieces struck me. FOX is now broadcasting to an audience of one. They know Trump is watching, and they make sure he only hears what he wants to hear. They gear absolutely everything to him. It's funny and disturbing at the same time.

What you don't realize is that trump and their viewers are one in the same. Their demographic consists of people who think just like trump.

In case you didn't know it Trump can't tell the difference. That's why he caused an international incident when he blamed the Brits for spying on him for Obama.

Based on that isn't it time to invoke the 25th amendment??

You should be directing these thoughts at the President, who lives and dies based on what Fox News tells him.

It still amazes me every time I see Trump gather up his supporters at his one of his rallies and watch them go berserk over every lie, half truth and falsehood he tosses at them. When I see those folks cheer Trump on I notice there's this fantasy-like aura that emanates from his events, and how a feeling of awe sweeps over me when I see how thoroughly propagandized and indoctrinated they are that they would still endear themselves to Trump even after all of the negatively tinged controversy he's embroiled himself in and the outright disruption of the governing of the nation he's caused simply from being himself.

Unpresidential is the kindest description of his behavior that I can think of. When he refused to shake Merkel's hand as a simple gesture of unity and mutual respect, that was it for me. The way he postured himself in that seat that was placed as far away from Merkel as possible reminded me of an obstinate child refusing to sit on his aunty's lap for a picture taking session. The look on his face was simply amazing to behold.

Sieg Heil, Mien Fuhrer!
