    What if Fox News covered Trump the way it covered Obama? It would look like this.

    This video is an excellent example of the hypocrisy @ FOX News network.

    It shows this so called host for the hypocrites they are, especially Sean Hannity.

    Watch the video and then tell me what you think.

    I can't believe any Conservative, right wing, republicans have any comments on this. It is kind of like the Mueller report.

    It's telling when you see people crying about a network who covers trump in both positive and negative ways but has no issues with otrer networks lying their asses off for the sole purpose of doing nothing but bashing trump virtually 24-7.

    Fox did host Bernie Sanders in a one hour town hall meeting last week.





    Then Brett Bair let Tulsi Gabbard answer without interruption in another segment last week.

    In other words, remember those two times FOX News acted professional?

    It's like when people applaud Trump for acting "presidential."

    These were both last week. The Sanders town hall got high ratings.

    Call it what you will. None of the other networks can drop their TDS and "act professional", so Fox has it over on them.

    Interesting video.

    Of course, one must first suspend reality and buy into the concept that people actually exist that take Faux "News" seriously.

    Originality is weak within the leftist community, and apparently communication and forum header reading as well ¯\_(º¸º)_/¯

    "What they found surprised them. Even the supposedly hard-nosed financial reporters were overwhelmingly liberal. Of the 462 people surveyed, 17.63% called themselves "very liberal," while 40.84% described themselves as "somewhat liberal."

    Media Conservatives: Endangered
    When you add it up, 58.47% admit to being left of center. Along with that, another 37.12% claim to be "moderate."

    What if every network covered Obama like they do Trunp?

    Dude would have been impeached before his first term.

    i give them credit for coming on. Remember the dnc chair made it clear that Dems were not to go on Fox News. Talk about being unprofessional

    The DNC has said it would not allow Fox to host a presidential debate.

    And yet, Donna Brazile now works at Fox.

    Fox is open minded and professional enough to make that hire. I doubt they’ll pat her on the back if she colludes with a campaign again though

    No, that would be so CNN-ish.

    Looks like Fox is moving the goalposts in the news game. The ratings of the Sanders town hall speak for themselves. How will the other networks respond?

    They haven't called it Faux News for 20 years without a reason.
    They have dumbed down America with Rupert Murdoch's propaganda.

    Trump was golfing with Rush down in Florida this Easter weekend.

    I bet that was fun.

    Chris Wallace might be the only person at FOX that has some balls left. Watch how he handles lying Rudy.

    Well, then all that would be left of tv media would be leftish propaganda. And, it would still die. Fox isn't doing anything that cnn or msnbc isn't doing for the other side, in fact they are probably more objective than their ideological competitors, although it is of course debatable. The day the left has its way and people like Hannity or Limbaugh or Shapiro, etc are silenced is the day that this country's prosperity is at an end. The same would hold true if the the shoe was on the other foot and conservatives were actively stifling opposing viewpoints, but they are not currently and don't appear to have any inclination to do so.

    There are four reasons that I lean to the right, none of which I got from conservative pundits:
    1. The ones that continually call out people for racism or sexism or any other ism are continually guilty of it themselves.
    2. The left are great at pointing out problems and horrible at addressing them without creating even bigger issues.
    3. Identity Politics. Left or Right, to fault a person for anything other than their own choices is morally reprehensible.
    4. The left fails to see what actual victory would bring upon themselves. Their "strength in diversity" message is bullsh*t, if the common enemy (the right) is gone, the various groups would resort to attacking one another as there are insurmountable conflicts between the groups they pretend to represent.

    The true strength of a society is in unity despite diversity. One of the most important diversities in a society is ideological, it is certainly more important than skin color or sexual orientation or gender (if you believe in such a thing.) Yet, the left would rather silence half the country because even horrible results are better than admitting they might be wrong.
