So what you’re ACTUALLY saying is that FOX ‘news’ is no better than the National Enquirer? Cool.

If Trump instructed FOX to kill the story, does the criminal obstruction and conspiracy go into Murdoch and others?

“…Fox News co-chairman Rupert Murdoch wanted Trump to win…”


Sounds like collusion to me.

When Fake Patriotism = Propaganda to prop up a candidate (now a president), and when Murdoch’s interest began to meld with that of Putin.

When was it that Wendy got dumped and immediately (?) got involved with Vlad? And wasn’t Ivanka close to the former Ms. Murdoch? Perhaps all coincidence, but certainly creepy all the same.

I hope two things: One, that she got a bunch of money from them, because that story would have made anyone’s career. Two, that she considers getting a job somewhere in a legitimate news operation. Like TPM! But somewhere.

This is how news agencies work in places like Turkey and Russia. Unbelievable that that is happening here.

Yes. Ivanka went on a vacation with Wendy during the Summer of the election if I remember correctly.

No surprise.

But let’s remember that news outlets have done this since time immemorial. Whether the NYT has ever done it I don’t know, but most media outlets–even respectable ones–are not the NYT.

Both Ken LaCorte and Diana Falzone needs to be brought in front of the House committees to testify in public what FOX News under the direction of Rupert Murdoch did to coverup a story of Corruption and payoffs by FOX News. There must be a crime it this somewhere, if not, just to bring it to light of what the Murdochs and FOX News had done in lying to the American people.

I wonder if they had it and were going to use it at the perfect time to support Jeb or Cruz, but waited too long.

I’m certain it happens all the time at Fox News.

NAL but I’m pretty sure there isn’t. There’s no legal obligation I’m aware of to publish a particular story. It’s wrong of FOX to call itself fair and balanced when it’s obviously been supporting the GOP and the right for as long as it’s existed. But that’s not a crime either.

Minor criticism of New Yorker Headline.

The Making of the Fox News White House
Fox News has always been partisan. But has it become propaganda?

If you’re asking whether or not Fox News has become propaganda you’re being coy and unhelpful.

Remember at the beginning of the Obama Presidency, when he refused to acknowledge FOX because he considered them propaganda and not news? Remember all of the news agencies rushing to defend FOX?

Good times.
