    Another problem is news networks have commingled with super partisan opinion talk shows, they drive ratings and anchor the viewers to the network.

    Now the lines are blurred since they feature the opinion people in the "news" segments
    to promote the shows.

    Its a clusterfuck.

  2. He completely blew the advance in race relations that gave him the presidency to begin with. When the mob hit the streets, he sided with the mob. Done, it was all downhill after that. Add in he and his administration providing cover to Clinton and his entire second term was a bust. Enter Donald Trump as a result, a creation of the left.

    We've railed about fox incendiary commentary for years being passed off as news and cons cried freedom of speech to the courts, so now the chickens have come home to roost.

    We can objectively measure the management of our government through metrics to evaluate agency performances. Everything from educational attainment to life expectancy to unemployment to spending and deficits is measurable and right to measure because they are government endeavors and outputs. For example I can objectively say a 500% increase in deficit is worse than a 75% reduction in deficit.

    You can do exactly that, but you have to be careful. For example, saying someone's x% of increase in the deficit is worse than another's when only one of those Presidents had a worldwide Pandemic doesn't really provide an apples to apples comparison.

    You've railed. Some of us are wise enough to see that it isn't just Fox, but the main stream media as a whole. Fox is only one side of the same coin.

    You think MSNBC, CNN, the NYT, etc...are all beacons of truth. I find this very funny!

    Absolutely agree. The opinions are right on the "front page" where only the reporting should be, imo.

    Ah, I'm sorry. I didn't realize you regularly criticized MSNBC, CNN and the NYT. Can you point me to some of those posts?

    I could, will you point me to the posts of you calling Tucker a lying fear mongering grifter in return?
