Every Fox News Story Is Now "Democrats Say...."
Fox News | Vanity

Posted on 05/25/2020 6:41:40 PM PDT by Williams

I know half of you will say you gave up on Fox years ago. But I've noticed this has gotten really bad of late.

I keep saying to my wife "Why is EVERY story now told from the perspective of what 'democrats' say?"

They never report what President Trump actually did or said.

The report just now and the screen headline was "Democrats accuse the President of lacking a serious plan to fight the virus." How is that even a news story or headline? They are reporting Democrat talking points as if it's news.

I know Trump has a detailed plan and the big news this weekend is that a vaccine had strong results. This results from Trump's "warp speed" approach to produce a virus in a few months rather than the usual 6 years.

So why is Fox News telling its viewers that today's headline is, democrats say the opposite. Who cares what they say? That's not news.

And BTW isn't this Memorial Day? But their "news" headline was that democrats were slinging some meaningless mud today.

I understand why Trump has started attacking Fox. Looks like their news room has straight up joined the democrats.

Don’t watch TV, but assume that’s true.

At the beginning of Trump’s Presidency there was an egregiously fake story.
The outlet backed up the reporter because he had two sources for it- both Democrats!

Don’t they ever say, “Trump claims, without evidence, ...”

That is pretty standard journalist language.

When Fox News was instrumental in perpetrating the Katrina hoax, I gave up on it completely.

Yes. I think the standard formula goes:

A leading member of the Trump administration claims that President Trump often bursts into uncontrollable sobbing and is terrified of elves that live under his bed.

President Trump has claimed, without evidence, that is is not true.

However, senior Democrats have confirmed the rumor.

Real trouble will be when Fox slightly changes that to “we Democrats are saying...”

When we lost Fox years ago we lost the only place outside of the fragile internet world and talk radio (Michael Savage was today dropped from five more stations....not really, just an example) where a few facts might be learned by the average person.

The voters are NOT informed.

No one knows about Tara. No one knows Biden is saying dementia style things. No one knows Biden made a huge blunder to a black media person last week. No one knows President Trump is of sound mind and is daily planning and executing White House initiatives to make American great again. All they know is Trump is a buffoon who lies all the time, is a white supremacist, hates women, is not qualified to lead anything and should be banned from Twitter. THEY SAW ALL THAT ON TV NEWS.

I looked at the CNN website recently as those stories broke and could find a tiny minor line (with rejoinder) near the bottom of the news event lists or nothing at all. Remember the long delayed decision at the NYT to allow the doltish American peasants to read about the Tara story? Took them days and days on careful censorship before that. The media are incredibly corrupt. Pravda has more integrity. (kidding).

My father died in 1984 at age 80. In the last years he would talk back to the radio news. Sometimes he would have loud arguments with the talking-heads. It was embarrassing and I said I would never do that just because it is foolish.

I have just started this behavior. I have lots of problems with Fox. They catch me off guard. I scream at the TV. I am 73. I have become my father.

Is this how life works?

Fox sucked rocks when Trump ran in 2016 too. Their bee-ess didn’t just start now. I never got why anyone thought they were ever “conservative.” Any decent commentator they might have, like Cucker Carson or Lou Dobbs or Laura Ingra-ham is drowned out by the incessant Marxocrat caterwauling and RINO whining from everyone else on the network. I haven’t watched Fox for years and years.

We’ve given up on Fox....for good. I like Tucker and Laura and Hannity to a point, but if they stay with a loser company, it kind of makes them the same.

I find it amusing that the RATs are trying to pin the ChiCom virus on Trump. In fact the President let the states run the show however they wanted and it was the RAT states that did the worst job! Deaths per 100000 was the worst in Governor Cuomo’s New York state. Not only the worst in America but the worst in the ENTIRE WORLD!

And practically every Freeper posts starts with “the media said this” and “the media will say that.”

If you’re going to consume news media all the time, it’s your own fault. Stop complaining. No. One. Cares.

Well, being more than 20 years your junior, I hesitate to make a statement in regards to this ... but yes, this is how life is (to an extent). Though my father and my mother divorced when I was 5 and my stepdad and mother divorced when I was 16, I share nearly nothing in common with any of them.
