Fox News

Post by _DoubtingThomas »

New details have been leaked of how the Israeli spy agency Mossad smuggled out Iranian nuclear documents earlier this year, but the material does not appear to provide evidence that Iran failed to abide by its 2015 nuclear agreement with world powers.

In that case, you're saying that Iran didn't abide by its 2015 nuclear agreement with world powers?

I'm not sure I get your gist here. Fox is saying that no evidence appears to exist in the documents. Seems like that is reporting news that does not support their editorial policy. At least I give them credit for that. I can't say I care for the opinion side, but Shepard Smith has the freedom to not cleave to the company line.

So the day after a sitting President is accused of treason by members of his own party, I click over to foxnews.com for the first time in months just to see how they're covering it.

Their front page has a "breaking" story with George Soros and Barack Obama's faces plastered on it

"George Soros calls Obama 'greatest disappointment,' says he doesn't 'particularly want to be a Democrat'"

"How the Obama State Dept. funded Soros group's activities"

"Ex-senator urges New York Democrats to ditch socialist darling Ocasio-Cortez"

"Big league pitcher apologizes after racist, homophobic tweets resurface"

Nothing about our current President lying or walking back his lies with a lie, or anything of the sort.

That might just be the result of the failure of Fox News to tell them about it.

Yup, could be that.

The abject stupidity of FOX Viewers is really beside the point.

The fact is this is a huge deal to anyone who gives half a damn about the integrity of this country. It is unprecedented. It has Republican lawmakers lambasting Trump for the first time ever. It has former Republicans coming out to say they're now going to vote Democrat. Hell even FOX Business channel is drilling him a new colon.

You and your ilk have no problems "reporting" on black people disrespecting the flag for months on end, but you don't have time ti discuss the President betraying the country on national television while cozying up to Putin for more than 20 minutes because, well, that isn't the narrative you're driving at.

I read Fox News.

It helps understand how a someone like Trump could win the presidency and gives me a better understanding of why people can continue to defend the likes of Joseph Smith or L Ron Hubbard.
