Fox News is now leftist

They called Arizona for Biden with startling alacrity. (Prematurely?) But they refused to call Florida for Trump for hours after even the New York Times meter had Trump at 95% probability of victory.

The person heading their election night coverage is a Democrat who has donated thousands of dollars to Democrats.

(Yes, I'm aware of Tucker Carlson. He's the exception.)

LOL.

What is MSNBC when 3/4's of their hosts are either former hedge fund operators and/or Wall St. traders or Bush era apparatchiks (Nicole Wallace) and former republican congressmen (Joe Scarborough leading the way)? I guess there's also a former high powered attorney or three and maybe one actual journalist to be found in the entire building. I keep hearing they're left.

>3 lriley: What is MSNBC when 3/4's of their hosts are either former hedge fund operators and/or Wall St. traders

Left-wing hedge fund operators and Wall St. traders.

Lolol. Thanks for that.

#6--Carny makes a joke---he's a very funny guy.

One of the democrats I didn't mind to see lose this time around was NY-11 Max Rose the MSNBC favorite--one of the I think two house democrats who didn't impeach our shitbird president. He was determinedly throughout his two years trying to prove how right wing a democrat could be and crying tears every time his party wasn't appeasing the other side--it would make it so much harder for him to win again and so the republicans in his district just switched him out for the real thing anyway. They were always going to do it unless he did a Jeff Van Drew. Fuck off Rose.

>7 lriley:
Yes his joke is awfully good. Or perhaps he's clearly misunderstood.

#8--I think Carny's on 4-chan (or 8chan or whatever is is--the Dark Web) sometimes---sometimes over at Breitbart or the Blaze and sometimes OAN news. They're all competing against each other to see who can be the most extreme and most of the dopes on Fox aren't putting out as good anymore.

#10--What? What's that you say? I can't see your message. Guess I'll have to ignore.

Yes, Fox is now "left."

As in left out with no clear audience now that they have upped the truth factor in their reporting. Pretty swift response to Shep Smith's competition as the new nightly newscaster over on wingnut-free CNBC at 7PM.

Will Donald Trump be interested in phoning in in '21, or will he devote himself to the Blaze and OAN where the "Q"s and other batshit crazy hangers-on hang out? Will Faux News hosts even pick up the phone if he does?

Both Trump and his former favorite TV network that once was the best Republican noise machine's futures look kind of SAD.

More than 500,000 Australians demand probe into Rupert Murdoch's media empire (CNN)

"We are especially concerned that Australia's print media is overwhelmingly controlled by News Corporation, founded by Fox News billionaire Rupert Murdoch, with around two-thirds of daily newspaper readership," the petition said. "This power is routinely used to attack opponents in business and politics by blending editorial opinion with news reporting"...

Rupert Murdoch-owned US outlets turn on Trump, urging him to act with 'grace' (Guardian)

Multiple Rupert Murdoch-owned conservative media outlets in the United States have shifted their messaging in a seeming effort to warn readers and viewers that Donald Trump may well have lost the presidential election. The new messaging appears to be closely coordinated, and it includes an appeal to Trump to preserve his “legacy” by showing grace in defeat...

>33 John5918: I saw this as I was reading my various newsfeeds this morning. While I don’t think it’s possible for Mr. Trump to act with grace, it was refreshing to see the Murdoch Corporation accepting what is becoming a reality.

I'm sure Donald Trump will snatch Dobbs, Hannity, O'Reilly and accused rapist, Ed Henry -- all Foxy men -- for his own (not OAN) personal self-laudatory cult TV network. Heck, Trump will even snatch Roger Ailes from Hell to work in his capacity as a zombie to be the Director of Lauds.

That should be Trumpty-Dumbpties' idea of Make Heaven Great Again, and the end of the Evil Murdoch Empire, which has had a pivot-away-from-Trump moment because advertisers have fled due to Roger's proclivity for hiring male criminal deviants.

Since Trump is such a successful businessman conman, I expect he'll develop a scheme that will siphon oodles of cash from the deep pockets and delusions of his most devoted acolytes.*

Rupert Murdoch’s daughter-in-law urges Fox to ‘put country above profits’ (Independent)

Rupert Murdoch’s daughter-in-law has urged Fox News to “put country above profits” and report truthfully that there has not been widespread electoral fraud...

Business will always be more important to Rupert Murdoch than Trump (Independent)

One of the main characteristics that Rupert Murdoch and Donald Trump share is a distaste for losers. As the Australian media mogul’s US channels and newspapers turned against Trump this week, culminating in not so subtle appeals for him to concede on Friday, it became clear that Murdoch believes the US president now falls squarely in that category...

We should not give too much credit to Murdoch’s outlets for some sudden shift towards responsible journalism... for Murdoch and his media empire, the election result matters a lot less than what it means for his businesses. After years backing a president who has done more than any other to undermine facts, he was not able to change them on the ground of this election. Murdoch can see that as clearly as anyone, and is acting accordingly...

The so-called shift in Fox Media bias is probably due to Murdoch's bottom line concerns, The advertising revenues he experienced in the heyday of his TV "news" channel has suffered serious inroads as advertisers fled when the vitriol, lying, and shrill bigotry expressed by his hosts combined with the male stars' sexual deviancy way past harassment.

Murdoch was willing to live with that, but not charges of rape, after his income declined when money was pulled out in the hundreds of millions (or more) when sexual crimes being the norm at Fox News was made public. Cancel culture does the trick.

He can no longer afford Trump.

If I believed Murdoch were an actual thinking man, I'd venture that he warned Trump off. The basis being Murdoch doesn't want to risk being pushed by Trump and his supporters into becoming the Voice of Sedition. That is where Trump is headed with his vengefullness and his followers will go all the way with him by answering his dog-whistles with armed insurrection/domestic terrorism on a big scale. That would mean the end of his media Empire in the land that gives him his biggest wealthiest audience.

Malcolm Turnbull clashes with News Corp's Paul Kelly over climate coverage (Guardian)

Malcolm Turnbull says News Corp has become an organisation for “pure propaganda” that has done enormous damage through its promotion of climate change denial.

Turnbull told the program that News Corp had gone from being an organisation that “tended to lean more right than left to become pure propaganda”...

'Whoa' – Fox News cuts off Kayleigh McEnany for 'illegal votes' spiel (Guardian)

Fox News has cut away from a briefing held by the White House press secretary, Kayleigh McEnany, during which she repeated Donald Trump’s refusal to accept defeat in the presidential election and doubled down on allegations of voter fraud, for which there is scant if any evidence...

>17 Earthling1: This was the home state of Barry Goldwater. Democrats can only win if they cheat.

By that logic, Barry Goldwater must have cheated like hell. Here's Goldwater's election: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1964_United_States_presidential_election . Besides Arizona, he took South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana. South Carolina last voted Republican in 1876, 88 years before Goldwater; Alabama and Mississippi in 1872, 92 years before Goldwater, and Georgia had never voted for a Republican in the history of the United States of America.

1856 was the first Republican candidate for President, so we can either believe that Georgia broke with 108 years of tradition (104, if we don't count 1864?) or Goldwater is a cheating thief. And if we can believe that Georgia broke with 108 years of tradition for Goldwater, we can believe that Arizona, which voted for Bill Clinton in 1996, voted for Biden in 2020.

Australian parliament to probe Rupert Murdoch’s media dominance (Al Jazeera)

Australia’s parliament will launch an inquiry into media ownership, a prominent senator said, after more than half a million people signed a petition demanding a probe into Rupert Murdoch’s dominance of the news industry...

In launching the petition, Rudd decried News Corp as a “cancer on our democracy” operating an effective “monopoly”. “This power is routinely used to attack opponents in business and politics by blending editorial opinion with news reporting,” the petition stated. “These facts chill free speech and undermine public debate”...

Likewise, contempt for anyone who dares not question Breitbart fake media. FACT: It is not press, nor is it news; it is an aggregator of mostly incendiary right-wing opinion and unsubstantiated "stories" by "authors" and talk radio show personalities whose imposture as journalists is ridiculous.

Breitbart = Infotainment for wingnut-jobs.

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/16/magazine/breitbart-alt-right-steve-bannon.htm...
_______________________________________
P.S. Breitbart's founder is this guy.

Steve Bannon, who is currently facing criminal charges for his role in a scam fund to build a border wall that appears to have been funneled into his pocket, caused controversy when he posted a video calling for FBI Director Christopher Wray and COVID-19 task force expert Anthony Fauci to be beheaded. Facebook took down the video — and removed a set of Bannon-controlled pages spreading disinformation about the election — but left up Bannon’s main page.

That's the source of your source.

Worse Than Fox or Breitbart -- OAN

OAN forced to delete fake story about voter fraud — after Trump promotes the conspiracy theory.

Damn well better question RWNJ "news" media. They're all fake or faker, or faker than that.

OAN cited a report they said came from Edison Research that confirms the voter fraud. The problem, however, is that Edison Research has never heard of this report. The Dispatch reported, and Raw Story confirmed, that Edison Research wasn’t even part of an effort to examine voter fraud.

Did Edison Research Find That States Deleted Trump Votes or Switched Votes to Biden?

No.

Fox News' Laura Ingraham and Tucker Carlson distance themselves from Trump (Guardian)

Rush Limbaugh also distances himself from president’s efforts to overturn his election defeat by Joe Biden...

Republican Senators Bill Cassidy--Louisiana and Shelley Moore-Capito have joined Mitt Romney, Ben Sasse, Susan Collins, Pat Toomey, Lisa Murkowski and Rob Portman in acknowledging that Biden won the election. I do expect at least several more between now and the Georgian runoff. I also imagine if disgruntled Republicans cost David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler in Georgia--most all those Senate republicans who haven't yet acknowledged Biden will do it then.

>52 Earthling1:

Five hundred to one? Maybe you should ask for a recount.

There aren't both sides of the news story when you're a journalist. There's the facts that are reported, which is how you get -- as close as is humanly possible -- to the truth.

When you're a listener and a reader, that's when two-siderism raises it's deceitful head. The audience is the decider in today's "I know better" conspiracy circles. But it's merely banal self-delusion.

Revisions for accuracy and corrections of inaccuracy by journalists and journalistic media don't change the facts or truth, contrary to what the "I just want to own them" class thinks. Similarly, withdrawal of a story when lied to by witnesses, or continually unfolding factual revelations, just like in a lawsuit, doesn't make the story or the suit specious.

What the right wing and O'Keefe, in particular, try to do by creating fake news is an attempt to feed their trolls and to discredit facts because they can't handle the truth. The truth exposes them as fakes. The truth will out. That's why he and they are consistently exposed for what they are.

When you live in a house of lying cards, expect it to come down around you. Evidence: Trump lost the election big time, fairly and legitimately and irrevocably. His cray-cray lawsuits, tweets, and rants notwithstanding.

>52 Earthling1: I'll just call up the Party and they'll inform the media they better get right on that if they want to be sanctioned by the state. Oh, wait, we live in a capitalist democracy where the media is independent of the state and not itself one unified block. Where, for better and worse, anybody with money can get a transmitting license and in the days of the Internet even the limitation of money is vastly diminished.

It's funny how so much of the right wants this capitalist system, but then when it doesn't work out the way they want, they want the government to come step in and change things. You put "liberty" and "individualism" above "fairness" and "equality", you get a system that doesn't value "fairness" and "equality", and your complaints about said system are hypocritical.

Somebody seems to be having trouble with his English.

Thanks for the accurate info. I wasn’t aware of this.

My apologies to anyone whose posts I flagged in error.

>69 Earthling1:

Just a small correction. Not by any stretch of the imagination could John Kerry, Ted Kennedy and Hilary Clinton be described as "far-left". I don't know who the other two are.

>71 John5918: LOL. Chuck Schumer is the deeply centrist Democratic minority leader in the Senate. He's only "far left" is in the sense that he's "far to the left of Hitler". In terms of American politics, he's representing a moderate liberal position, but if he were in England, I imagine he'd probably be a Tory. Anthony Weiner hasn't been a politician at all for about ten years, since he was ejected from office after sending pictures of his naughty bits to people who were not his wife.

The thing that Weiner, Schumer, and Clinton have in common is that they all are or were influential politicians in New York, which is a big market for Murdoch's business, which explains why Murdoch was donating to them. I would be not be at all surprised to learn that Trump had donated to all three of those politicians, for very similar business reasons.

Edit: actually was replying to John. (no use replying to someone who does not generate their own content)

A. We must try to broaden our horizons and realize the the US, while large, somewhat important in terms of military and economy, and populous, is not the be-all and end-all of countries. The narrow provincial point of view went the way of the dodo bird with the advent of world shipping, and heavens, air travel.

B. Trump learned all right. He learned that he couldn’t get elected alderman if he remained a Democrat. They would have quickly exposed him for the unspeakable boor that he is and shown him the door.

Edited for typo

I think the behavioral change Trump displayed is "He got worse." And 81 million voters for Biden certainly learned what Trump's example is good for -- un-Americanism.

Only his Republican enablers and deluded supporters haven't. Their examples of which further teaches us that some people can only hope to aspire to the bottom of the barrel

>92 Earthling1: Not the most bullshit claim I've heard, but still. We can talk Dan Rather and the infamous letter about W's time in the Texas Air National Reserves, and we could talk about how in 2017, a woman told the Washington Post about how Roy Moore attacked her, and instead of reporting it, they discovered she worked for Project Veritas (sic) and was lying to them.

telling people which side is supposedly correct rather than letting the public decide.

Postmodernism is bad when it means that liberals are talking about how we should listen to multiple sides, but it's good when liberals are pointing out that certain things that are facts. Since when has the job of the media been tell people that "Joe says that blue and red are different colors, but Jim says they're two words for the same color"? The media shouldn't hesitate to call a lie a lie.

They even declare information to be fact as if they had personally confirmed it, when they could not possibly have done so.

That's almost an "all Cretans are liars" level statement. Has she personally confirmed this claim? Can she prove they haven't bugged the White House? This stinks of someone using epistemology to attack their enemies, instead of having sane coherent rules on what should be reported as fact.

It's weird how she writes Fox News out of existence, who defended themselves against libel claims by saying that Tucker Carlson can't be taken seriously. Again, this strikes me as partisan, not academic or honest.

A major part of their role is to inform the public. The media might well report the lies, but it also reports the facts which demonstrate the lie to be a lie.

Bullshit victorian do-gooder elitist racist paternalism.

Good grief. What's that supposed to mean?

>96 Earthling1: Bullshit victorian do-gooder elitist racist paternalism.

One of my increasing frustrations with Republicans, which is also a frustration of many liberals, is that it doesn't seem like there's any philosophical foundations, that any argument that "wins" is good. There's a lot of meat in >92 Earthling1: about what the role of the media should be, and academics have spent their lives discussing it. Instead, you post >92 Earthling1: and yet on another thread make a flat assertion about Dan Coats on something you can't have personally confirmed, without citing who told you or what their biases are. Apparently the media calling a lie lie is "bullshit victorian do-gooder elitist racist paternalism", but that doesn't mean anything for what you do or believe. It just seems you don't like what the media is saying today, more than you having a philosophical or epistemological reason for disagreeing with "The media shouldn't hesitate to call a lie a lie."

#98--he's just stringing words together that ultimately don't mean a thing apart from it being a way of showing his own disapproval.

The 24-7 and other major media sources have been taking sides forever. This is nothing new or unexpected. Donald Trump turned it into a thing. He is unable to look at or respond to any kind of critique other than to add it to his personal grievance and paranoia which he shares with other bozos who turn it into their own personal grievance and paranoia. So and so 'said mean things about me' is what it comes down to. Since when has there every been a presidential administration that hasn't been severely criticized by the other side's and even occasionally their own side's media? It strikes me that Donald T. was a spoiled crybaby as a child and has carried that forever throughout his life.

Just the title of this thread speaks though to how successfully DJT has passed his crybaby-ness to others.

Fox News retracts Smartmatic voting machine fraud claim in staged video (Guardian)

Fox News has taken a further step back from Donald Trump’s baseless allegations of election fraud with a bizarre apparent legal retraction aired during shows hosted by some of the president’s most fervent supporters...

Even "Newsmess" debunked Trump's stolen election claims. Worse yet, Tellyvangelist Pat Roberson is saying, "IT's OVER. YOU LOST. MOVE ON."

The outgoing president, said Robertson, "lives in an alternate reality" and "is very erratic," in footage posted by Right Wing Watch. Robertson said to Trump, "You've had your day and it's time to move on" — and added that Trump should not try to run again in 2024.

What's next? A mass movement of evangelicals arming themselves, storming mega-chruches across the land, and threatening the lives of the grifters who've been bilking them for years? I'm looking at you, Joel Osteen. Imagine -- Woke Christianists!

Is OAN all that's left of RWNJ Crackpot TV?

If the Republican Party finishes destroying itself in internecine civil war this last month before Biden and sane government take the helm of this country, and Trump's evangelical nut base calls it quits with white supremacy "religion," then I have to conclude that 2020 can't have been all bad!

Trumpty-Dumbpties Worship Their Putin Puppy President but hate their "Leftist" TV Station

'Violence is coming from the right': Fox News attacks conservatives over armed COVID protests.

Fox News host Sandra Smith reported. "Oregon police have had violent confrontations with left-wing groups. Now the violence is coming from the right."

Correspondent Jonathan Hunt reported that police are expecting an extended "battle with right-wing groups, including Proud Boys and Patriot Prayer.

"The protest, with many taking part unmasked, was organized by the Washington-based right-wing group Patriot Prayer," he added. "So if law enforcement officials in Oregon thought they might get a break from protests post-election, it seems they were badly mistaken, only the political motivations of the protesters have actually changed."

Aside from the false equivalency that the BLM and Anti-fa protestors are just the same as the armed gangs of Af-Am murdering, government-threatening, and cop-killing advocates that belong to RWNJ gun-sucking domestic terrorists, there's really no difference. Uh-huh.

Pentagon rebukes Fox host Tucker Carlson for mocking female troops (BBC)

The Pentagon has condemned a Fox News host who called female troops "a mockery of the US military"... Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said Mr Carlson's programme "essentially demeaned the entire US military" and hoped he would realise his error. Other top brass, as well as veterans' groups, have also rebuked Mr Carlson...

#116–it’s interesting that someone who is so pro military but never served could go after an entire gender of those who have made that decision to serve. Typical of so many conservatives as well. Keeping in mind as well that Carlson for all his determination to pass himself off as a regular normal Joe has had quite the silver spoon background—super wealthy upbringing, prep school, walks right into fancy main stream media jobs.

Tucker Carlson's targeting of Taylor Lorenz follows pattern of berating female journalists (Guardian)

Tucker Carlson took a different tack. The rightwing media host instead marked the celebration of women by giddily harassing a female journalist, devoting his time to attacking the New York Times reporter Taylor Lorenz. Across two nights Carlson, who has a history of berating female journalists, dedicated his blend of faux outrage and conjured-up accusations of media bias to Lorenz, who in her role as a tech reporter has been subjected to threats over the past year. But those hoping for a change of tune from Carlson are likely to be disappointed. Carlson’s targeting of Lorenz followed a long pattern of his behavior towards female journalists...

Watch: John Oliver Dedicates Entire Segment to Exposing Tucker Carlson as a ‘White Supremacist’

“When you put all of this together, the pattern is clear,” explained Oliver. “He is scared of a country that ‘looks nothing like the one he grew up in’ because diversity ‘isn’t our strength,’ immigrants make our country ‘poorer, dirtier, and more divided,’ and any attempt to change that culture is an attack on Western civilization. All of which is really just a long way of saying that when Tucker asks, ‘What is white supremacy?’ the answer is: basically that. It’s a belief that in a country where white people are dominant, that’s all down to their natural and innate abilities, and any effort to change that is an affront to the natural order of things.”

Murdoch is apparently very pleased to have a white supremacist on his payroll. He keeps adding to TC's duties on the network. The GOP also approves.

She drank her own Kool Ade, and half the nation fell into that trough with her. She did not remotely have the following that
Liberals, and Democratic bots, told her she had.

That was then. This is now. Deal with now, please.

Oh, you can't. OK.

Then why are you taking up space and wasting the time of those who make the mistake of reading your empty posts?

And have you given your 1,400 dollars back, or are you a closet socialist?

lol.

>122 JGL53: Mr. Lee, giving me a command, when you are not in command, is like yelling at your neighbor's dog. They won't listen, but you got your cheap therapy out of the way. What I can, or cannot do, is probably a bit beyond your pay scale, but swing for the fence. "Deal with now, please." is a Hillary equivalent of (People died at my hands, but)
"...What difference, at this point, does it make?!" If it is factual, historical and unrefutable; please feel free to ignore what triggers your dopamine receptors. I never received $1400. I am socialist when dividing desserts for small children; otherwise, not so much.

I never did understand what the deal was about Mogadishu. Why would the secretary of state be responsible for the security of individual embassies?

>121 smirks4u: The Liberal nation lost their minds when President Trump was elected.

You do understand that it's 2021, and this year three months ago Donald Trump sent his forces to the Capitol where they smashed their way in to stop Congress from ratifying the rightful winner of the election? We've seen what "losing their minds" when someone loses an election looks like.

half the nation fell into that trough with her.

Yeah, crying shame that they thought that winning the majority of the votes would be enough to win the election, or that people would rather elect an experienced politician instead of a self-promoting racist with a history of cheating people and assaulting women.

To be clear in the 2016 presidential election Hilary Clinton had 2.9 million more votes than Donald Trump. That Trump won on electoral votes—not because he had more votes. Those unhappy with that fucked up result didn’t try to tear everything apart. In 2020 Biden garners 7 million more votes than Trump and here are all these fucking yahoos spurred on by Trump’s lies attempting to overthrow the govt. Many of these shitbirds—charged with felonies are going to get some real prison time while Donald who encouraged them gets to walk away scot free.

>123 smirks4u: "a Hillary equivalent of (People died at my hands, but)"

I remember sitting in a coffee shop in Portland in the 90s talking to a guy who had a whole cock-and-bull story that people were feeding him about how the Clintons were killing people. That cock-and-bull story leads straight up to >123 smirks4u:'s willingness to believe that people "died at Hillary's hands".

It's hard to see how you'd argue with someone who's buying into literally two decades of propaganda aimed at one couple, which has been complete nonsense all along, but that's sort of the state of the Republican party these days. To be a Republican, you have to believe literally anything you're told, no questions asked.

And this is why that party is dying, I think.

>125 prosfilaes: The "self-promoting racist" dated and promoted women of color. He spent time with people of color on more occasions than many of his liberal detractors. Donald Trump is bellicose, in-your-face and frankly a bit of a cad. Having said that, every tool has its purpose. He helped the economy, the percentage of people working and working at quality jobs. I can think of a few thousand men in the sausage grinder of today's collegiate and professional sports who abuse women. There are people who treat them like the woman was not wearing blaze orange, or was not raped out of season. It is totally anathema to the reasoning used against people who fall out of Liberal favor. Liberals did lose their minds. Primal screams, Occupy Your Mama groups, disrespect of every boundary of civility; all because they believed the lying liberal media sources.

>127 kiparsky: Chief counsel of the House Judiciary Committee did call Hillary unethical and dishonest. That was in the Nixon administration. "(L)iterally decades of propaganda"?!
Attorney Hillary hurt 12-year-old rape victim, Kathy Shelton, now 54. Kathy was driven into the woods and raped by Thomas Alfred Taylor in Arkansas. Not only did Hillary subject the little raped girl to a grueling court-ordered psychiatric evaluation. Hillary said little Kathy sought out older men; as though the little girl was the sexual predator, and not Hillary's defendant, Taylor. To compound Hillary's callousness, (not locker room talk), she was on tape LAUGHING about this "really interesting case". She laughed about that little girl being taken into the middle of nowhere and attacked and raped. She laughed about getting the semen-stained underwear thrown out as evidence. Hillary laughed during her Benghazi investigation regarding the death of an ambassador, of whose health she was responsible to oversee. All other embassies had pulled out of Libya. Why didn't Hillary have a contingency plan for an attack? That was her job. She laughed. I can punch up all of the websites, magazines, and audio clips; but why bother? I am communicating with someone who believes, literally, anything they are told by liberal sources.

Liberal Faux News Goes Extremist!

The Old Retired Orange Florida Man gets the hook from Jeanine Pirro. Only 48 hours after admitting his Twittery fingerlessness has given him a lot more free time, Faux News piled on because nothing is more satisfying than kicking a clown when he's down. It happened in mid-mindless rant.

"It's a very dangerous situation, it's horrible for our country. They're going to destroy our country," Trump ranted from his retirement at Mar-a-Lago.

"Alright," Jeanine Pirro said. "President Trump, thank you so much for being with us, I know your time is valuable."

What? In Monopoly money? BWAHAHAHAHA!
