Rent-A-Standing-Ovation-Crowd at Fox News' 'Town Halls'
Canada Free Press ^ | May 20, 2019 | Judi McLeod

Posted on 05/20/2019 12:37:21 PM PDT by Mount Athos

Message from Fox News to the Caravan of Crazies running for DNC approval in the 2020 presidential election race: Come and Bring Your Standing Ovation Surrogates With You To Our Town Halls Because Fox News Is On YOUR Side.

Fox is forgetting that We the People know that they brought in former DNC chairman Donna Brazile as a featured political pundit at the beginning of the 2020 presidential race.

Brazile, who admitted she leaked questions for the last 2016 presidential debate to Hillary Clinton is now a Fox News political pundit.

And it is for sure that the Town Hall meme will continue over at Fox News where you can count on anti-Trump screeds from Chris Wallace, including his recent criticisms of Barr, the political advice of ex-DNC chair Donna Brazile, and the odd pot shots from the likes of Judge Andrew Napolitano, with anti-Trumpster Neil Cavuto bringing up the rear.

Try to remember, folks that through no choice of our own, we all live in an era where “people are what they see on TV”.

High time to tune out of Fox News and tune in to your own common sense.

Once one person stands, the other sheep follow. A standing O is no big deal.

Aside from the 8-11 p.m. and morning shows, Fox News is indistinguishable from any other outlet of the Ministry of Propaganda.

I have noticed that getting a standing ovation in this country in general, and political speeches in particular, is not a very hard thing to accomplish, especially when the audience is seeded with gays waiting for the opportunity.

So Fox News should cover only candidates that you like?

You really don’t need to watch TV news, haven’t watched it in years.

The article complains about a candidate packing a “town hall” with their own supporters who give a standing ovation.

How could fox news corrupt themselves so completely?

But it makes sense when you consider they hired Donna Brazaille, who committed one of the greatest journalistic crimes in political history by leaking CNN questions to Hillary.

How did you read this article and somehow decide it was saying candidates shouldn’t be covered at all?

Candidates don't do "Town Halls" unless they can pack them with their supporters.

And considering what people say about candidates they don't like, isn't it best if the journalists ask the tough questions, rather than the crowd?

Yes, it makes for a phony event, but give the tickets to those who support other candidates (or no candidates) and an event can really get out of control.

People will be asking the candidates tough questions enough as the campaign goes on.

It is very deceptive and corrupt for a news organization to call a cherry picked audience a “town hall”.

I’m not ok with that, I think it is a betrayal of ethics and journalistic standards.

If they are going to broadcast a standing ovation from an audience they allowed to be cherry picked, then inform the viewers that the candidates picked their most ardent supporters to be in the audience.
Otherwise your news channel is a fraud

Wouldn’t mind OAN, but no real on air talent. They need to start ponying up some bucks and suck the air from Fox. They are trending left. Kill the ratings, kill the trajectory.

Don't forget the inestimable Shepard Smith. Shep is first in line to garner the DNC talking points and regurgitate them on air.

As long as Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity are on Fox, I'm going to keep watching.

Frankly, without Carlson, Hannity, Rush, and Judicial Watch, Trump would have been impeached or forced to resign.
