Based on all the comments I've seen from the various postings of this graphic on facebook, you're right.

Thing with Fox News mainly, but also MSNBC and somewhat CNN, is that they have news and then they have the pundit/opinion crap. When they're doing actual news, especially non-political news, they're pretty good usually.

And I think all of those generally at least do some basic fact checking before they report on things, or will post corrections when they get it wrong. As is, while I'm aware of Fox News' bias towards conservatives, I'm unaware of Fox News running around reporting that there are tunnels between pizza restaurants where Hillary Clinton runs a child sex slave ring.

Yeah, that was kind of my point. Particularly the young turks, they don't do much news it's basically opinion and reporting on news outlets.

Last week tonight is an odd example, taking away it's clearly liberal commentary, they're pretty good at reporting facts (that were left off by the original piece).

Oh yeah, wasn't replying to you. There was some incredulity at how well Fox News did in there, but overall I still consider them to be a hell of a lot better than Breitbart. They've got some particularly idiotic pundits/opinion shows, but the actual news reporting is generally at least accurate.

I hate to be a conspiracy theorist, but let's look at Trumps appointments so far... Someone with an agriculture background (that campaigned to eliminate the DOE) in charge of the DOE, a neurosurgeon in charge of housing, a rich mom who hate public schools in charge of all public schools, and a climate change denier in charge of the EPA. Then you have a Secretary of State that is an Oil tycoon with a business and friendly relationship with Russia/Putin.

I'm kinda convinced he's been put in place by Putin to dismantle the country.

Considering the GOP mantra is that 'government is evil and worthless', its not surprising that they'd put people in charge that'd dismantle these systems. Then the GOP can turn around and say 'hey, see how bad these systems are? we were right all along!'

Fox news meets high standards?

Fox News, the news agency isn't too bad. It's their 'Op-Ed' folks who are full of crazy.

Whoa whoa whoa, wait there buddy! I wasn't talking to you either.

But, I, in fact, agree with what you say.

I was wondering if there was going to be a new term for American Nationalist/Nazi speech, thanks for the link.

Stupid lack of delete.
