    Listen, I don't hate the man, I'm sure he'd make an excellent next door neighbor, I just think he's a lousy President. That's something you'll have to accept.

    You always use the time honored mechanism in place to settle disputes such as this and let the chips fall where they do.

    and I believe that is what Fox News has done. That is why Trump uses twitter. It's free speech.

    Oh really? What is all the denials and secrecy of trump's meetings with Putin and other Russians about? If it's all so fine and on the up-and-up, then why couldn't he just tell us he met with them and release his transcripts from his translators? And why hold a meeting with no translators or other Americans present? DO YOU, OR DO YOU NOT, FIND THIS JUST A BIT WORRISOME?

    Here is an interesting interview that tells it like it is.
    The last 50% talks about the disparity in media.

    Every time I tune into Hannity, within seconds, he is spouting blatant lies (the same that Trump spouts).

    Gee, it didn't take you long to to make a completely outlandish and unsubstantiated claim.

    Does Fox News have a political agenda?

    Regarding the Smollett thing, and the Covington thing....what are news places supposed to do...including Fox.

    Even the president was "fooled"...he said "That I can tell you is horrible. It doesn't get worse," the president told reporters when asked about the matter.

    If the Smollett thing wasn't a hoax, how are they supposed to react..."hey great news, a person was attacked, looks to be a hate crime, cool! Probably a hoax though."

    Should all media do better? Yeah. Is it good when Hannity lies every other word. I don't think so, but he's not a news guy in any way. He's just a dumb disc jockey blowhard.

    Is the mainstream media fake? No.

    Does the president of the United States lie all the time. Yes.

    Why would they find it worrisome? They are either in the cult or part of Putin's army of Russkie bots and trolls.

    Trump's fans simply won't deal with these two issues.

    If the President can't get his way -- funding from Congress -- can the President simply declare a national emergency to get that funding? Congress appropriates funds. Congress denied Trump his funds. Can the President challenge the Separation of Powers principle of our Constitution? Do even Republicans want Trump to establish a horrible precedent? Picture President Ocassio-Cortez declaring a national emergency and issuing an E.O. stating that all guns are illegal and banning the NRA.

    Trump's fans and Republican leaders in Congress can't get it in their heads that Trump's wall and his immigration issues are a losing proposition. That is all Trump talked about at rallies leading up to the 2018 elections. The GOP lost 40 seats and control of the House. Despite a 26 to 9 advantage, they barely hung onto the Senate. They lost several state houses and state legislatures.


    They know in their hearts Trump is a loser.

    You sound like the mainstream Media. You said "Trump lies all the time". He has kept just about every campaign promise, or tried his best to. Remember ":if you want to keep your doctor you can keep your doctor"? You see lies only because it doesn't fit in with your world vision.....that's all. Trump said about the Smollett thing "it is horrible". Well it is horrible that someone would use race baiting, to stir up hate....and he did. Trump wasn't far off at all.... but then to hear the Tawna Brawly/ Al Sharpton, or anyone of the MSM sources, this was all about MAGA and white supremacy. You on the left have been playing this identity politics for a long time and it is getting old. You have that old Indian portray himself as being surrounded aggressively by young school boys waiting for a bus and it was EXACTLY what the news media wanted to hear. They are LOOKING for that stuff and you know it. Then there was Dr. Ford and the others trying to ruin lives for their ideology. All left wing actors. Dr. Ford put on that whiny sing songy voice for the hearing. I've heard the professor speak since and I can tell you it was all a put on because the media would HIGHLY approve! Then the others that recanted because they knew they would be prosecuted. Well your boy Smollett is likely to earn himself three years in jail!

    Well I tuned in the other night, and Hannity was going off about how the crazy Dems are going to get rid of cows and airplanes. That is, of course, a lie. I couldn't take it, and changed the channel!

    Trump said the same thing. They share a fat head?

    I tuned in again, a night or two later...a glutton for punishment...Hannity was going off about cows and airplanes again!

    Just a lying dope.

    That's my proof!

    What did you expect? Trump's actions are 90% negative!

    As a matter of fact, it looks to me like they're falling short. If the coverage vs the number of negative actions were 1 to 1, it should be closer to 99%

    I guess we can attribute that 9% deviation from reality to Fox.

    That's kinda against the constitution. It would lead to anarchy. trump/Putin would love it, though, imo.

    You don't think Trump lies all the time? Seriously?

    Because there is so much proof it's ridiculous. I was just looking at video of him going on and on about his dealings with Russia and Saudi Arabia, and then later blatantly denying it. It's hilarious.

    That's not fake news....that's him talking.

    If he's guilty, than good. He's not my boy. I wasn't even paying attention to that story.

    You're missing the point though, in regard to that.

    He may be fake, maybe not. I don't know. It's not clear. The police thought he was legit. Are they fake?

    Fox and everyone reported the story, and now they are reporting the developing story. That's not "fake".

    Trump doesn't need a declaration of emergency to access the drug confiscation money and the military construction fund money.

    Why don't you care about the lives of US citizens ??

    Seeing as how you didn't put a comma after the word, "Why" that made your question rhetorical. That was rather snarky, imho.

    What has he lied about ??

    Fox reported on an alleged attack. The MSM reported on an attack. See the difference.

    It's tragic that some people don't care about the lives of US citizens.
