Would have been simpler just to find them mendacious and malevolent. Which they are, clearly.
Their viewers will only celebrate this news. It really makes you wonder if anything would make Americans want to work together for the common good ever again. I do believe there will be an eventual backlash, but who knows when.
Why is the UK more hard-hitting on the GOP / FUX transgressions than the vast majority of the US media?
Iâll take a guess: Not as greedy?
Typical British understatementâŚ
In other news â as interesting as depressing â Slate has an interactive up with NYT news alerts from the last 12 months. http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/politics/2017/11/the_year_in_push_alerts_how_breaking_news_became_our_lives.html
It would be such karmic justice if the sewage pit Ole Rupe created and called âNewsâ was the very thing that bolloxed his dreams in the UK.
But it wonât happen. Palms have been greased, heads have been turned, eyes have been willfully blinded.
Because the UK still has some standards, at least for journalists. For politicians, not so much.
If UK regulators sign off on 21st Century Foxâs purchase of Sky News they get everything they deserve.
They could not possibly have better warning for whatâs in store.
Jeepers, so-called news outlets and pundits cannot even engage in grotesque propaganda anymore! What is the world coming to?
May is flagging badly; she probably feels she needs Murdochâs assistance to shore up her right flank.
Attaching an appropriate label ⌠âpropagandaâ ⌠clarifies the situation. Fox News, and Sinclair, are the Tokyo Roses in a particularly smelly bouquet of what passes as âfair and balancedâ these days

[/quote]Hannity, Carlson, Ingraham, other Fox âpundits,â Breitbart, etc. and the so-called president of the US promote the idea that there is no âcommon good.â Itâs âus vs. themâ and whatever is good for âthemâ cannot be done, because it wouldnât be good for âus.â There is no common good on Bullshit Mountain or in Trump World.
very interesting, however, vastly more depressingâŚ
Because we gots: the 1st Amendment and the SCOTUS we gots.
OT, but wtfâŚcould this woman be a bigger and more toxic liar or what?
About âpower and controlâ? YeahâŚabout power and control she thought SHE should have but didnât. I think itâs becoming clear this represents a giant tantrum from someone who thought she was going to be a top dog and found out she never wasâŚand it pissed her off to no end. And how is this quote not sexual harrassment:
ââYou know, this does not feel like a negotiation to me. This feels like power and control. Gentlemen, letâs just put our dicks out on the table and see whoâs got the bigger one, because I know mine is bigger than all of yours.ââ
IT IS, but âyou go, girlâ right? . She gets a free pass because she has a vagina and was accusing everyone on the phone of being a sexist? I mean, setting aside that I think itâs probably a lie and self-fluffing fabrication in the first place, since when was it ok to refer to a guyâs dick in workplace situations? How is it not an attempt to abuse or establish power that can be abused to simultaneously openly and publicly accuse a man in the workplace of being a sexist while referring to and demeaning his junk?
WTF?
Did Bernie or Trump hire her to take down the Democrats right now when we should be in a great position? My god! I can only believe either sheâs that publicity crazy or sheâs being paid for this.
First itâs Billoâs peen, now Mr. Potato Head and Corporal Bowtie are pissing in the soup. Whatâs next, Hillaryâs e-mails?
MAGA!
and Fox News faced a lawsuit alleging that the network worked with members of the Trump administration to push a conspiracy theory about a murder DNC staffer.
The day before Election Day. Literally the worst day of the year to pull stunts like this.
