I did in the beginning in 2016 but she has shown some things on her show I didn't like and made me suspicious of her true loyalty to Trump and the Republicans. One of the things is she continues to have that bald penis headed, Trump bashing Democrat Party Activist and lawyer, Chris Hahn on her show as a regular commentator, giving him a platform to argue for Biden and spread bullshit against Trump. And she just smiles and says 'Thank you, we gotta go.'

Every time one of her guest speakers comes on and is making a compelling case about some incredibly unfair, corrupt crap pulled on Trump she talks over and drowns them out just when they are making their point. STFU bitch, let the person finish making his point!

But tonight was the finisher for me during a one on one interview with Pres. Trump. In the past, Laurah Ingraham heaps praise and accolades on what AG Bill Barr has done, but doesn't specify anything in particular.

Tonight, in a sit down interview with L.I., Trump said "...Bill Barr can go down as a great AG, or he can go down as just another (do nothing)guy." IOW, the balls in his court. He went on to say, there has been more illegal acts of treason committed by the Democrats that would warrant indictments and nothing is being done about it. He added these are serious treasonous acts to overthrow a government that if a Republican would be committing them, would bring 50 yr. sentences.

As soon as Trump started voicing his frustration and what I've been saying about Barr, Laura Ingraham quickly interrupted him and changed the subject off Barr and started talking about some completely different silly shit about Malania Trump, like she was Oprah. I've long suspected Barr as being swamp and after tonight I think his cheerleader, Laura Igraham, is too.

Barr represented the Ruby Ridge boys.

remember that.

Edit: the pussy hiding in Hawaii.

He also served in the Bush's crime family.
Most recently, when Hillary Clinton's case about deleting emails and Bengazi was thrown out, Barr and his agency was partly responsible because they have been blocking attempts by The Judicial Watch to make a case against her in court.
 
Id be all over her like a cheap suit.

Personally I don't want any reporter or media entity to have any loyalties or allegiances to any politician or party. They should be reporting from a completely factual and objective standpoint.

I don't watch Laura Ingrahm so won't comment on specifically on that.

Quoted because hitting the "Like" button wasn't enough.

Hannity is a great one for talking over guests. OReilly was the worst. Wonder why they bother having guests.

I can't fucking stand people who do that. I'll give one grace pass. The next time I'm talked over I am not subtle about it. A curt "LET me finish" looking straight in their eyes usually gets it done.

I don't understand why their guests endure that politely. It's a significant disrespect.
 
The days of a journalist behind a desk telling you what happened are gone. Opinion shows were nice capstones for the hour or the Sunday Morning. But today even 'news' is just editorials. Add in the zingers and pot shots toward the opposing side, and yeah, there is a reason many don't trust modern news.

And for the editorial shows like Tucker, Ingram, ect. THey all follow the Bill O'Rielly method of talk over and louder than your guests. So annoying. I used to like Megan Kelly before she got her prime time slot 4 years ago. But then they rebranded her, made her into O'Rielly with legs, and that turned me off to her.

But I trust Ingraham more than Don Lemon, Fredo Coumo, Rachael Maddow, and the rest of CNN and PMSNBC combines.

Something I’ve picked up this summer. We all know that media is a business, that’s fine, I have no problem with people making money. I was just under the assumption that we, the viewers/readers/listeners were the customer. But we’re not. We are the product. The advertisers are the customers. Therefore the only thing that we can trust the media to do is sensationalize everything in order to generate more engagement, likes/clicks/shares.
The advice given by the author was to seek out quality over quantity. Because the 24/7 news has turned everything into a highly produced tabloid.
Short answer, I don’t trust anybody trying to tell me what to think.

Yep, but its more than that. Yes , people are the product. But not in the way you may think. Its your data that is the product. Your digital profile, and your digital fingerprint. Bought, sold and traded.

I wouldn't watch Bill O'Reilly or watch Hannity either because of this. O'Reilly would let someone get half a thought out and start his grumbling noise and then talk over them. That fucking carnival barker Hannity, I don't know if he has ADD or what but I'd tell him, 'you had half the show to do your opening monologue and opinion, I took time off to be on your show, let me finish my comment.' If he did it again, I'd unclip my mike, get up and walk out of the screen. Either that, or cup my hands and yell to finish my sentence.

Newt Gingrich laughs and shakes his head in disgust when Hannity butts in and has warned him about it.

Yeah, I figured this out about 15 years ago. Limbaugh is my only “entertainer” I like. Tucker is close but he works for a commie network.
 
I can't watch these shows. I don't understand why the mics aren't controlled. Ask a guest a question and flip on the mic. Turn his mic off and give someone a chance to respond.
 
I remember a few years ago when Laura had her hiatus from Fox. She was interviewed by Hannity and started going on briefly about she was not on anywhere because she was not a man. I thought it was a moment of candor that showed me exactly who she was. Don't watch her because if she is falling into that trap it means I cannot trust her viewpoints as being unbiased.
 
The way I see it, IF they are still on any Mainstream "News" Media these days (and FOX is included in that), they have sold out somewhere and are not actually able to tell you what needs to be said.
The only "news" I've seen that is pretty gritty and real, outside of their opinion shows, is OANN.

they are all the same, for the same reason. there's no difference they just tell different lies. media is a business, it's not a service. They target their product to a specific audience and understand their audience well enough so that they are able to manufacture and provide the product that's in demand. There's no integrity. The guests put up with being talked over because they are not there for a discussion, they're there for a show. Part of the show is the anchor 'defending' the truth, the outrage, the pomp the circumstance... oh my!

It's a circus for fools. I've not watched cable news of any kind since the 2008 election. The product was baked then and since then it's just warmed up dog food over and over. no thanks.

She is no Tucker

Tucker Carlson = Anderson Cooper

TUCKER MCNEAR SWANSON CARLSON was always going to be a journalist, if only through inertia and nepotism; the talent was a bonus. Carlson is the son of Dick Carlson, a media executive, who used to direct the Voice of America and is a former CEO of The Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Tucker was born in 1969, the older of two boys. Their mother, Lisa McNear Carlson, left the family when he was six. “Totally bizarre situation—which I never talk about, because it was actually not really part of my life at all,” Carlson told The New Yorker in 2017.

When Tucker was 10, Dick remarried to Patricia Swanson of the Swanson frozen dinner fortune; her uncle was Senator J. William Fulbright. Carlson and his brother Buckley went to the Rhode Island private school St. George’s and, later, Tucker attended Trinity College, where, as he told the CJR in an interview, he spent his days mostly drunk. He graduated in 1992 and married his high school sweetheart, Susan Anderson.

Carlson applied to the CIA, but his application was denied, so he turned to journalism. “You should consider journalism,” his father told him. “They’ll take anybody.”

And they did.


VOA is a State / CIA propaganda arm - FWIW


The MSM is not giving you the news. They are giving you opinion mixed with fact - they are shaping the viewing audience's world. That is why most people only watch one brand of news; when they do switch over, the taste is as foul as a Pepsi to Coke drinkers.

NPR the other day used a source from the Brennen Center....and they have been doing shit like that for decades, yet it flys over the heads of the business class republicans that support their local NPR affiliates b/c they refuse to pay attention, so they keep sending the check b/c they like the classical music and it is the only station that carries it....

Cognitive Bias effects nearly everyone.

ETA - for fun folks ought to look at the background of those who led the major networks in their infancy...reconcile that with the mass data collection of today
