    All of the current Media and News Sources are owned and operated by the same very small group of very rich (insanely rich and powerful) people and they decide what you will see and hear and they manipulate the context. Remember Trump calls it "fake news?" and it's ALL fake news.

    If you read or watch commercial media that has commercials you are being lied to and played. You are being sold an Agenda.

    The question is why? Why are we being played and cheated and lied to? Why don't our Representatives and political leaders answer to the Will of The People and routinely break their oaths of office to protect the Constitution?

    Find the answer to those questions and understand it and you'll have it figured out. Then all We have to do is get enough people on board to start a discussion about how we are going to fix it and we can come up with a solution. But almost none of US believes we are being fleeced, lied to, cheated, and sold down the river or why that is being done. The Media (virtually all of it) is playing US. Ask yerself why - prove to yourself why we are being manipulated in this Way. And try not to shudder when you realize why.

    She is absolutely corect in what she was implying but that isn’t even the point.
    She asked a question and was censored. This proves to me that fox is not and never was on our side, but an orginazation to give us an illusion that there is a different side to this two headed coin. It’s up to us people.

    Yeah, I've seen him on there a few times. I've lost respect for the guy. He's good at posturing and not much else.
     
    Fox is just as biased as any other news outlet. All of them have their own biases, and use their platform to try and sell their view to the rest of the world.

    It used to be that news casters would have people that would go out and find new Stories or information they could tell the world about, and would then allow viewers to come to their own conclusion about the facts that were presented. But the days of Walter Cronkite et al have long been over.

    Now, media outlets have a tiny bit of information that they then have a collection of talking heads tell you how you should interpret the information. Gone are the days when media outlets (TV, radio, news papers, magazines) would simply present facts, and allow us to interpret that information.

    Walter Conkrite. You must be joking. He wasnt anymore a real journalist than what we have today.
     
    Cronkite et al was an era. Sorry I wasn't more specific about an era rather than using Cronkite there person as an example.. I think just after WWII many outlets actually reported facts. Somewhere between Eisenhower and Kennedy there was a shift toward having talking heads tell us what we should think about whatever they reported.
     
    Although unbiased reporting is very rare these days one source that tends to stay more towards the middle (for now) although leans Right is One America News Network:


     
    If so then it is an alliance of convenience at best.


    Fox News Channel Scrubs Scheduled Judge Jeanine Pirro Show After Ilhan Omar Controversy, Mosque Attack

    I'm not saying that whatever Judge Jean said is correct, buy why not let her viewers hear her then make up their own mind. Because that is not the way media works today. First media decides what you should believe then they calculate what they have to tell you to make you believe that.

    Hence the reason I don't give any of them the time of day...they are all in it together playing good cop/bad cop. Too bad 90% of people are sheep and fall for it hook, line and sinker
     
    Uh guys the whole system is rigged at the top right now to pit everyone against each other. I've been saying it over and over but the forward movement and direction is not organic.

    This 8 tentacled monster has been in the works for years.

    "All the world is a stage"
     
    I feel sorry for the brainwashed minions...who believe most of the tripe that Sean Hannity & Fox News spews out.
     
    Nice analogy of where everyone on all sides are at.

    MSM and even a lot of the alternative media is the corn.

    Media Matters and Soros again....

    Piro is an annoying nut-job. Personally, I can't stand listening to her 'shrilling voice.'

    But she is right more than she is wrong. And I agree with her far more than I don't.

    So she must be silenced.

    The lefties are after Tucker Carlson like you can't believe. If he wasn't such a Choir-boy, they'd have got him already. He is Soros' Public Enemy No. 1.

    Well, they have their lists. Betting that there are other lists out there. Lists that Soros would not like. But, I am sure those lists are for sealed indictments. Not the kind of personal attacks and train-rides that the left's lists result in.

    Cheers,

    I have to admit that I only watched her show a couple of times. Now that the left has branded her with the Scarlet " R " , I consider her a hero.

    Actually, I think this is great!

    First, she is alrady showing that Fox IS fair and balanced. And that she cannot get a fair discussion at any other network.

    Second, some Democrats will go to Fox to listen to her... and go "Hey, these people are not Satanic!" And a lot of independents will, too.

    Third, if she takes extreme positions, she will look like a nut job... and her extreme positions will result in red meat anger for Republicans.

    Donna Brazile, Juan Williams, Harf (who should be in jail) add to Fox and show that they will listen to all points of view.

    I don't want an echo chamber. I want to hear views. Especially my enemies views.

    I had a ton of respect for the Afro-mex when he was on NPR. He was erudite and made good points... And when he got fired, it was really because he was not afraid of being, for lack of a better word, honest!

    And his book on the Civil Rights movement is outstanding. Not ghost-written... it's a top piece of work.

    But when he came to Fox, he became a caricature liberal leftard moron... Spewing the Democrat line because it gets him a paycheck for looking like the liberal lion of Fox. I don't think he is stupid enough to believe the party line garbage he spews. But I think he does believe in a 7-figure paycheck.

    However, is it worth it for selling his soul to look like a leftist clown and play a role? I don't think so. He has the brains and abilities to have been the next Charles Krauthammer. Instead, he plays the liberal joker.

    He is still better than that fat, pill-addicted, alcoholic "I marched with MLK" bubble butt scumbag who preceeded Juan.

    Cheers,

    When Juan would fill in for O'Reily, he came across as knowledgeable. Now? Acting in a bad show. The 5 is just annoying.

    Agree to all your points.

    He is now in-capable or unwilling of having a fact based conversation, and goes into a emotional diatribe.

    Bob B was the Chris Farely of Leftist politics, except not funny.
     
    Fox is more & more leaning toward being liberal. Their action proves it.

    i saw the show live, Jeanine has been on Fox for years, doing what she does and such a thing has never happened to her. The US has grown a soft spot for Islam and its scary. all this BS will encourage more of them to run for public offices.
     
    I realized just how full of shit Fox News is/was when Marco Rubio came in dead last of the first primary and they tried to somehow spin it and say he had a great night..... they tried to pull some Fuzzy Math about the demographics of who voted for him and said he was the clear winner and would probably go on to win the nomination... Haha WTF
     
    Anyone see the coverage of Venezuela? How about what has been going on in France?

    They recently hired Donna Brazil, who fed Hillary debate questions. Then put former speaker and antitrumper Paul Ryan on their board. Seems like they're lurching left. Radio may be the only place left to go for truth.
     
    Fox (the Murdock family) is trying to find the nirvana middle ground to please the masses - IMHO. That said, they do have a pretty far right roster of talent (Carlson, Hannity, Ingraham, Levin & Pirro). Don't watch any of them routiely, because our corrupt goverment drags their feet and not much changes day-to-day.

    If something noteworthy happens I'll DVR Tucker, Hannity or Ingraham to see what's up. Anything more would cause me undo strife.

    Hate to tell you, but in Cronkite's autobiography, he admitted to spinning news to fit the narrative. He said he was positioning himself to run for president.
     
    Soulezoo,
    I didn't know that...I guess in view of that, the best I can say is that at least he was more subtle about it than current day news casters. Consider my bubble popped....

    I guess my hope that some day we would just get some truly unbiased reporting is nothing more than a pipe dream, or an unrealistic hope, wishful thinking, as human behavior just won't allow the media people to be simply truthful and allow us to make our own interpretations of some truthful information.
