The Truth AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH: 2016 Election

Post Reply New Topic

"i heard" is just as good as fox's famous opener, "some people say."

i don't watch TV news at all. i listen to NPR sometimes and peruse the www daily.

I've refused to watch anything on f*x since the early 90s. I will not in any way patronize a business that is doing its best to ruin America.

Nurseangela,

The study was done in New Jersey. The Telegraph is just reporting on that. Why does it matter that it is a British newspaper? Well here's an American source that have compiled many more studies to back that up:

Also I have told you before liberals tend to hate CNN too. And MSNBC's biggest show is Morning Joe which is hosted by a former Republican Representative. But that's besides the point, I don't typically get my news from any of those places anyway. It's my guess that the majority of people who watch mainstream news now are older people and people who are only casually interested in politics. The study showed the breakdown of the audiences for the other mainstream news sources were fairly well spread out among the ideological spectrum.

Sorry, Angela, I never said it was a fact I had verified. It was simply a comment I made. However, the source I heard it from is extremely reliable and accurate, so it probably is true. We also have or had a law similar to Canada's law. It was stopped being enforced because your deity Ronald Reagan did away with too many regulations...

I miss the fairness doctrine.

me, too. if bernie got half the airtime trump gets, things would have turned out differently.

but the "fix" was in.

It would be an unenforceable mess. Bad idea.

even if not perfect, it would be an improvement over what happened this year.

if It was rigorously enforced, it would KILL f*x n*ws

Personally, the American TV News Media (Faux, CNN (and their sister, HLN), MS-NBC/Comcast, PBS, ABC/Disney, CBS, TEGNA, Sinclair, Hearst and Tribune Broadcasting, among others), can go f!ck themselves. IMNSHO, the only unbiased Broadcast News Operation right now is the BBC World Service (and I'm rather suspect of their coverage also). In short, I trust NOBODY!

This is something I can't ever figure out about liberals generally, the naive assumption that whatever regulation they're proposing won't be controlled by jerks who use it selectively to reward and punish according to their ideology, or more cynically, whoever pays them or pisses them off. I feel the same way about "hate speech" laws, aka secular blasphemy laws, where even a casual amount of research (and/or common sense) will reveal that they are overwhelmingly used to target the powerless and unpopular, the very people such laws are allegedly designed to protect.

Fox is cable TV, not public airwaves, the government can't tell them what to do, even theoretically.

OOPSIE !

Nurse Angela, this is especially for you as you love cats. Here's a dog you might like. If not, you can let your cat fight the dog. Enjoy the focus group all about BIG T...

Trump just gave a complete foreign policy speech that set out many details of his plans and proposals. It's certainly worth listening to.

As a speaker, he isn't an orator in the way that Reagan was, or Bill Clinton and Obama sometimes are, but this was well delivered and clearly set out. I think he will get better at this particular kind of speaking, which isn't his natural one, as time goes on.
