Here's hoping this is finally the beginning of the end of Fox evil.
Trust is the issue. More folks trust Obama, and increasingly so, because he has never given anyone any reason to mistrust him, he is surely the most honest President to ever live. You will know that if you see AND listen to him, and not through the self serving media filters and sound bites used by the now ridicioulously untrustworthy media - a media that has childishy resorted to whining about how
Obama ignores them...only a fool would not.
Fire one talking head and replace with another and all trust is restored?
If wishes were horses and trusted news anchors astride them with RPG's...maybe.
Geopolitical forces leading to some contradictions, like flying to briefly fete a dead Saudi King, is not lying, it is the sad reality among many sad realities that all American Presidents must obey, at least until the full truth is admitted about American Hypocrisy.
Please do not hold your breath on that one.
Not near as sad as Bilbo and Fox, that is a whole other level of sad.

(23,946 posts)much is forgiven if they go after Fox.
Edit: Never mind, they are trying to minimize Bilbo's lies...as they did Guilliani's lies.

(269,022 posts)hacks, fake anchors, insider guests and producers - they all lie and they all accept lies from the government and its intelligence agencies.

(23,946 posts)Imagine wall to wall "ISIS will kill us all", yet avoiding all mention of the GOP holding Homeland Security funding hostage......the hypocritical obviousness is just too much.
My hope is more journalists will dig up more lies...drip, drip, drip, like what happened to Williams...Bilbo has a closet full of lies to rummage through.
David Corn is not done with this...more lies exposure to come, I know it.

(269,022 posts)repeat Fox shite with such regularity - why are those lying ReTHUG hacks given such importance. Does Fox quote Rachel Maddow? Does anyone repeat the shite Blitzer spews anywhere else?
It is the RW producers on all stations - working for their corporate masters who spread Fox racist poison ad nauseum.

(23,946 posts)So Democrats are always playing defence on the trollers' playing field.
Cable news is cable trolling...then it all makes sense.

(45,319 posts)show draws a paltry audience of aging malcontent conservatives. FoxNews is a niche market, just like the rest of cable. Virtually no one watches and that's enough for them.
I think acting as if their small niche viewership is significant serves them, as does calling some gas bag pundit a 'News Anchor'.
If anything, the insignificant viewership at FoxNews proves that even most Republicans can't stand that shit.
But cable news is not very popular at all, cable commentary is very unpopular. People just don't care for it.
