FOX "News" heavily favors the Republicans while CNN, MSNBC lean heavily to the Democrats. FOX claims to be fair and balanced just like the "Democratic" Republic of North Korea" and the "Democratic" Republic of the Congo both claim (in the name) to be democracies. None of these channels is fair and balanced in its reporting when it comes to politics any more than the BBC and RT. They all have an editorial agenda. Once again, the case cited against Fox was not a matter of balance or bias.. It deliberately suppressed news that could have hurt Trump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those of us who understand the difference between the opinion section and the news gathering section of a new organization it is very big news. For those of us who don't understand the difference, not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingthing Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 45 doesn't control Fox. Fox and friends etc. controls 45. This is next level government propaganda. The democrats being the only hope to save the US from a bizarre unhinged authoritarian demagogue are correct that shun Fox.

Trouble Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 14 hours ago, attrayant said: The OP does not use the word 'bias' at all. This is about the intimate, incestuous relationship between Trump and Fox "News". If there were any such relationship between Trump and the other media outlets you mentioned, I would be in favor of barring them as well. And Rachel Maddow and MSNBC wern't doing the same for Hillary? Maddow was a pimp for her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cryingdick Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 This is the silliest topic. It begs the question... why on earth would the dems ever want to allow a conservative leaning news network to moderate their own internal party debates? When they get past this the dems won't have a choice Fox will do one debate whether they like it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair that whole tax plan fiasco was a product of Goldman Sachs via Gary Cohen. They serve rich Democrats and Republicans alike. Note he hit the door just as soon as mission accomplished. There was an anecdote floating around that Trump wanted to raise rates on highest earners to 44% but Goldman Sachs Cohen nixed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There might not be any such debates at all. 45 has tweeted he won't do debates on what he calls fake news networks. If his position is Fox only there will be no debates as the democrats will never agree to Fox propaganda network only nor should they. Perhaps he is afraid of being held to account. Twitter - - Democrats just blocked @FoxNews from holding a debate. Good, then I think I’ll do the same thing with the Fake News Networks and the Radical Left Democrats in the General Election debates!

There will be no Presidential debates if Trump makes it that far. He has no reason to. His base is solidly locked up, he cannot get any new voters and knows this so there is no upside. He can only lose normal Republican voters by going into debates as he is exposed. As long as there is no change in electoral college dynamics, I wouldn't do it either and I don't think he will do it.

They are essentially State TV, existing only to promote and protect Trump. But what's even worse is they've sacrificed all journalistic integrity in doing so. They intentionally spread "disinformation." It's actually quite positive for America that the DNC is standing up to this corrupt network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These media groups have pretty much displaced the citizenry, who only serve as the means toward their aims. If winning the media wars meant Fox had to switch to being ultra liberal they'd do it in a heartbeat. It's all just show business and of course profits.
