Politics The 4th Estate - Media....is it truth or fiction? TFP pundits will examine.

^ Paywall ^

I wonder why it took so long; maybe CNN wanted to gather enough hard evidence first.

 

I would love to see this more often.

George Stephanopoulos outshouting Rand Paul was a beautiful thing to see.

 

It looks jokey enough to be claimed as parody.
So I doubt millions in fines would happen.
I'd give it a 75-80% good rating as fake celeb porn for foot massage fetishists.

But yeah, it dosn't belong on any news show and Fux audience would surely believe at least the idea of it and wank to it.

 

FOX needs to be called out for this, but I'm not sure a jury would see this as worth serious punitive damages. But that could certainly turn out differently if Brian Kilmeade, and FOX, is stupid enough to continue to defend using it.

Agreed. Just fake enough to be defended as "an obvious spoof," yet real enough to many FOX viewers.

 

Sneaking hot (in more ways than one) documents to the competition? Oh, yeah, that'll piss off some news organizations and journalists.

 

Fox News CEO rejected Trump election fraud claims in private: Report

I hope this is true and can be proven beyond any reasonable doubt.

FOX News wants to claim they were simply reporting news worth reporting. I'm pretty sure a thorough examination of their broadcasts will show a strong bias for reporting the election fraud claims while ignoring the news that those claims were proven wrong.

Allowing their staff to frequently present false news under the guise of opinion/editorial should be examined as well.

The lawsuit brought by Dominion could drag on for years. I just wonder if Fox could actually get hit hard enough $$$$$$$$$$ to seriously hurt them.

 

I agree that it would be nice to remove some of the Wrong Right (I just this second made that up!) assmouths, but let's not forget how some of the CNN newscasters throw gloat parties when NPD Trump is the loser in the news. Not that what CNN does is any where close to FOX GOP Network News (must mention Cuomo).

I wonder if the removal is more window dressing than sincere action.

 

Following up on my post in the What's Happening? thread...

^ Hopefully no paywall. Of course FOX GOP News is downplaying & spinning the attack.

Here's a spin they won't mention. The man used a hammer, not a gun. CA has some of the strictest gun laws in the US. Repubs constantly remind us that the GOP is the pro 2A party and the Dems are gun confiscating communists.

 

This week on "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan," October 30, 2022: Emmer, Maloney, Easterly, Becker, Walter, Timiraos, Salvanto - CBS News

At least Margaret Brennan tried to nail Tom Emmer has being a hypocrite.

I couldn't find a link to the Emmer tweet with the #firepelosi showing Emmer firing a rifle at the gun range. On Face The Nation Emmer condemned all violence, while defending his tweet as being about 2A rights and having nothing to do with encouraging violence. Bullshit. Total bullshit.

 

It's not encouraging violence.
It's not an insurrection.
It's not climate change.

It's all misdirection propaganda. It's all sales repitition to the dolts that buy in to the Dr Oz weight loss, the prosperity theocracy of megachurch, the self made billionaire fable, the false pride, patriotism and notions of freedom and country based on Christianity.

It's all bullshit.
Launching led pellets out your steel tube don't make you free, patriotic, masculine, honorable, smart, articulate, a leader, a good citizen, a good parent, a provider, a teacher, self sufficient, less fearful, or anything of value at all. It only makes you destructive.
Having a brain that's focused on guns and lies makes you dangerous and evil.

He knows exactly what he's doing.
