    Attention folks! This is how you tell the difference between a true democrat and an authoritarian.
    One chooses the news they want while the other wants the news they don’t like to be canceled.
    I’d suggest taking OPs threads with a grain of salt.
    Trust me, if this happened with a fox reporter, a suspension would not be considered good enough

    The only thing that list proves is your inability to recognize your epic failure in proving me wrong.

    How does that denial taste?
    You gave us one person CNN made this move with and he gave you 20 for FOX
    I e heard of being partisan but you take it to an extreme. I bet you also think republicans are the only people with smelly farts too

    Cancelled? Where did I say that? I'd settle for management acting to discipline on air personalities when it is warranted. WHICH WAS THE POINT OF THE THREAD. Seeing them stop lying every day would be nice too but far too much to expect since their biz model is based on disinformation.

    you are confusing “disinformation” with spin

    let me ask you something. When msnbc has a headline about rittenhouse that says “white supremacist kills 2 at BLM protest” is that disinformation or spin?

    this type of thing is normal for cable news networks

    why do you have higher expectations of fox than any other one?

    I'm not obfuscating anything. I thought Hannity should have been fired then, same as Cuomo now. (Although the matter of attorney-client privilege might pose a complication in Hannity's case.)

    There is an open question on whether his actions violated the FCC standards, and whether CNN will be liable for them. There might also be criminal charges against Cuomo stemming from his actions.

    MSNBC is the quintessential misinformation center for NBC these days. It's hard to imagine a more dishonest place on legacy media.

    Did you bother to research why any of those people were terminated? Next time do your homework.

    right
    But fox and cnn aren’t exactly angels

    I think my main issue here is that the left actually thinks it’s ONLY fox that does spin

    they all do but the left will never admit this about their networks
    It’s annoying!

    Only because it was obvious. And he got busted. That family is scandaloous.

    No cable news outlet comes close to Faux's intentional broadcasting of disinformation. Examples of which are readily available here.........https://www.mediamatters.org/
    You are welcome to fact check MM. Not doing so while disparaging the site is of zero consequence.

    CNN’s Chris Cuomo says he ‘obviously’ can’t cover brother

    NEW YORK (AP) — CNN host Chris Cuomo told viewers Monday that he “obviously” couldn’t cover the stories surrounding his older brother, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who has been accused of sexual harassment by three women.

    The prime time host addressed the topic immediately at the start of his show, which airs at 9 p.m. Eastern, and just as quickly moved on. Stories about the embattled governor’s problems have been awkward for CNN, which allowed the two brothers to banter on the air several times last spring at the COVID-19 pandemic’s start. The appearances charmed some viewers while making ethical experts queasy.

    “Obviously, I’m aware of what’s going on with my brother,” Chris Cuomo said on Monday. “Obviously, I cannot cover it because he is my brother. Now, of course CNN has to cover it. They have covered it extensively and they will continue to do so.”

    Meanwhile, over at Faux, this is the kind of garbage being broadcast under the banner of Faux News Primetime after Biden said the new variant was "not a cause for panic"..........

    Pete Hegseth claims new omicron variant is “another liberal cover-up” that may help Democrats in midterm elections

    PETE HEGSETH (HOST): Well, the U.S. just confirmed its first case of the omicron variant and COVID hysteria, well, predictably it's through the roof. Democrats are already using this to jam through their pro-lockdown anti-freedom agenda. But we're not surprised. A new scary variant is another liberal cover-up for Joe Biden's ongoing and many failures. And maybe that might help them in the upcoming midterm elections as well. Former White House physician and Texas congressman Ronny Jackson alluded to it in this tweet which we read last night.

    No, it's not. As evidenced by CNN taking disciplinary action against Cuomo while Faux hosts rarely suffer consequences for their breaches of ethics and or journalistic practices. Largely because it's that sort of thing Faux viewers tune in to see.

    You continue to conflate editorial decisions and ethical breaches.

    Well it was your claim. You made it so it should be easier to give an example.

    Fauci ‘Astounded’ By Fox’s Silence After Host Compared Him To Nazi Doctor

    Top White House COVID-19 expert Dr. Anthony Fauci put Fox News on blast Thursday night for staying quiet after Fox Nation host Lara Logan compared him to sadistic Nazi doctor Josef Mengele earlier this week. “What I find striking, Chris, is how she gets no discipline whatsoever from the Fox network, how they can let her say that with no comment and no disciplinary action,” Fauci told MSNBC host Chris Hayes. “I’m astounded by that.”

    The doctor slammed Logan’s “absolutely preposterous and disgusting” comparison. “It’s an insult to all the people who suffered and died under the Nazi regime in concentration camps,” he said. “It’s unconscionable, what she said.”

    Fauci also took aim at how Logan downplayed the severity of COVID-19 by claiming the coronavirus was “very treatable” and falsely comparing its death rate to that of the flu (more than 770,000 Americans have died from the virus). “She absolutely has no idea what she’s talking about,” the doctor told Hayes. “She’s completely incorrect in everything she says.”

    Hosts having no idea what they're talking about is par for the course at Faux. It's why their audience tunes in.

    Niw that's funny. Comparing support for a political candidate is some how comparable to tacit support for and complicity in a
    criminal cover up.. leave it to leftist to once again compare apples and oranges.

    So show me the post number of any newscaster from Fox News, using his position in the media to attempt to cover up his brother as a governor or mayor's sexual abuse of female victims.

    Making a claim and saying go hunt for it through 100 post or so does not cut it.
