Who needs the Russians to pervert, distort and divide? We have homegrown propagandists for the job.

Good of Tapper to try, but it’s hard to push back a deluge of shit.

Tapper tore into Fox News for “lying” and argued that Fox News is transforming into a right-wing outlet similar to InfoWars.

That horse left the barn years ago, Jake. Let’s not pretend that Fox “News” has ever been anything other than the propaganda arm of the Republican Party. I think they should change their name to the “Ministry of Truth.”

This is news to him? And he’s a reporter? (Or was once.)

Tapper’s mistake was trying to be fair and balanced.

Right? From 1997 to 2017, the idea that Fox was more like a news outlet than a propaganda mill was apparent only to the people in the MSM, because they viewed any attack on Fox as a propaganda outlet rather than a legitimate news source as the top of a slippery slope that ended with them. And, ironically, their steadfast defense of Fox for two decades and insistence on acting like it was a legitimate news source has brought them to the point where they are truly threatened and Fox no longer even bothers to try to stay in their tree fort.

Fox is NOT a bona fide news organization. Stop acting like facts matter to Fox. They are merely the communications arm of the GOP for whom ‘facts’ are an inconvenience.

“Turning” into Infowars? It’s been infowars since at least 2001.

I’ve tried, but failed. For a long time now I’ve tried to get people to refer to Fox News as The Toilet. It just hasn’t caught on. But I’ll continue to refer to that cesspool as nothing else. The Toilet.

The GOP is merely the political arm of the oligarchs who use Fox as a communications arm.

“My bad” is how someone apologizes for accidentally bumping into someone on the subway. I would think this situation would call for something a little more substantial, until i remember this is Chaffetz we’re talking about.

Tapper: …who isn’t familiar with how an adjective modifies a noun.

FOX: Tapper is clearly a foreigner who doesnt understand Amerikan language.

“Deranged”, “Mentally ill” versus “Evil”? are those technical terms? are they actionable?

16

Just like when Joel Osteen or Franklin Graham use “Praise the Lord” when the support their white supremacist, prosperity gospel flavors of “Christian” evil.

Yes, “fair and balanced” only works when you need cover for your treasonous actions (i.e., “Sure we met with Russian officials, but what about Hillary’s emails and yellowcake bake sale?”)

How about calling out all the lies being spewed by the trump crowd, Jake? SHS was very condescending toward you and she spoke over you. Why put up with that?
And yes you were right to call out Fox News

I realize it shouldn’t be the focus but whenever I read/hear someone using the phrase ‘my bad’ I just want to start throwing punches. Take fucking responsibility for your fucking actions, Chaffetz

Beautiful. FoxNews is scared of being compared to InfoWars. Apologized immediately to shut down the potential meme. We may be winning here, folks.
