What If Fox News Covered Trump the Way It Covered Obama? | NowThis

He is crooked as hell and that is not up for debate.

Ignorant, you need to take a look in the damn mirror. It is in plain view for you to see, but you are so stuck up Trump's a...…….nevermind.

You wouldn't know hypocrisy if it hit you square in your ass.

 

With this question you are saying that CNN did not post fake news about Trump.

 

Your overwhelming evidence is so convincing.

and as always....you clearly have no response...at all

You admitted ignorance and then proceeded to talk as if you had a clue. That's on you. This is a typical SBB response though. You don't really have any response whatsoever, so you break out this beacon of intelligence.

Yet again you have no response.

 

The Mueller Report is all the response I need.

Hmmm, so which clues am I missing that you have down pat.

You haven't said a damn thing I need to respond to.

 

How is it fake news if you realize you made a mistake and corrected it.

 

Except that the video clip is not about policies - its about golfing/vacation and associated costs to taxpayers, tweeting, cable news obsession, lying, ongoing campaigning, treating opponents as enemies, being thin skinned, trash talk, name calling, acting like a schoolyard bully, international disgrace, celebrity status, popularity seeking, using executive authority, criticizing predecessor, criticizing media...the list goes on and on.

The only policy I heard discussed was a criticism of a skyrocketing debt.

 

Many of what you listed is policies. For example Obama weaponizing the executive against who he viewed as political enemies. That was a horrible policy and one of the reasons of why he was covered in such a manner

 

What if every other news outlet covered Trump like they covered Obama?
CNN treated Obama like god.

 

So how has CNN treated Trump different than they treated Pres Obama.

 

Really??? How can you ask that with a straight face?

 

Ok I will ask it with a crooked face, it still doesn't change my question.

 

Ok the word parrot comes to mind..

CNN lap dog of the DNC... or is it the other way around?

 

I just showed you how FOX is the lap dog of Trump.

 

So you see the following as 'policies'?
golfing/vacation and associated costs to taxpayers, tweeting, cable news obsession, lying, ongoing campaigning, being thin skinned, trash talk, name calling, acting like a schoolyard bully, international disgrace, celebrity status, popularity seeking, using executive authority, criticizing predecessor, criticizing media

 

Not all of those things obviously, but ongoing campaigning, cable news obsession (ie press relations), not sure what you mean by being a school yard bully, but if you mean dealing foreign relations, and the other party sure, I do think Obama's international relations was a disgrace, so yes, celebrity status, again it depends on what you mean, same with popularity seeking...it can be, but I think that is directly related to the policiies you have, using exeuctive authority certainly is....we saw massive overreach by the prior admin, that has backfired, being critical of your predecessor certainly is...blaming Bush was the motto of the Obama admin for years, and your last point, I think I addressed.

 

Yeah, we all know the night-time talk show hosts are ridiculous and hypocritical but that's how they make their money and how FN gets most of their ratings. Hannity, Windbag, Pirro, and Ingraham should all be fired for their disgraceful comments over the years and just for being horrible human beings, but that's not likely to happen without a strong consumer boycott. Remember, it's all about the Benjamins, that's all Murdoch cares about.

That being said, I HAVE noticed recently some signs of encouragement. News anchors challenging some of Tramp's talking heads and not letting obvious lies stand without rebuttal. I have Foxnews.com as part of my smartphone news feed, and you know what? They're actually more fair and balanced than the TV cable network. I never thought I'd say that, but I have noticed improvement. But, really, do they a story about EVERY weird thing that happens in America and every time someone loses their **** in restaurant or whatever.

Yeah, they still have a long way to go to be a decent and honest network, but I have a little bit of hope that the turning tide of public opinion will help pull them in the right direction (cue the jokes about them already pointed in a Right direction!). We need to move past Kellyann Conwoman and her "alternative facts".

 

So let me get this straight. Everything they slammed Obama for doing in the video montage, Trump is guilty of to a much higher degree. So how come if they don't like Obama's policies they don't just debate those policies instead of cherry-picking inconsequential things like where he goes to vacation? How can we take them seriously when they don't hold everyone tp the same standard? My guess is those talk show hosts featured in the video just don't have the knowledge or intellectual heft to properly debate the policies in question and instead just lazily go after the low-hanging fruit.

 

Yes! Those are encouraging signs! But Tramp DID blast them for it. He seems to want his own State TV and no other opinions are welcomed. That's a sign of deep insecurity.

 

What he and Windbag and Pirro and Ingraham are are demagogues, the kind of character that is always portrayed as a villain in movies. Remember the Lewis Prothero character from V for Vendetta? Perfect example.

 

Yeah, we've heard that from about 20 different righties here lol.

 

No I disagree

 

Did you even watch the video? There's many other talking heads there than just Hannity.

 

Trump literally said he wanted to instate Nazi policies in the US against all Muslims.......Forcing them to wear special ID tags, banning them from owning property or businesses....etc.....

 

So CNN retracted/corrected a story that turned out to be untrue. The same story that went out on every newsline that day. Fox rarely corrects anything they get wrong. I'm not a big fan of CNN and I rarely watch it, but they handled the situation in the right way.

 

I don't really know about CNN but MSNBC often has republican strategists and commentators on, but yeah, their guests are mostly liberal. Or at least, maybe not liberal but are against Tramp's policies. "Never-Trumpers" or the like.

But, the facts are, guests on cable news talk shows, and even the broadcast networks who are considered liberally-biased by some, are and have been for a long time, overwhelmingly conservative.
