Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

The alternative facts crowd
They’re still mad about the Bowling Green Massacre
I just assumed it was his supporters.
Yup, I think everyone outside of Fox News knew it was just a thinly-veiled Trump rally, but Fox's editing out comments from the audience members that they already were Trump supporters is the really damning part. Fox News knew it was supposed to look neutral and that is an admission that they were trying to hide it.
In case you didn't already know that Fox News is just a propaganda arm of the GOP.
It's propatainment.
Next you'll tell me that water is wet.
Meh, this broadcast isn't to turn anyone onto trump but provide cover for the bigots that are, "undecided." If they see there is no social condemnation for voting for trump they will happily show up to the polls. They will also flip their shit if anyone dares call them out having been thoroughly duped.
Fox News knew it was supposed to look neutral and that is an admission that they were trying to hide it.
Fox (a) hasn't been trying to hide their support for Trump for years, and (b) is not even considered legally news, by their own admission. It's "entertainment". And they get away with being so heavily biased by basically saying that they're heavily biased in order to entertain an audience that just happens to lean heavily to the right.
At least they got actual women. Half of me was expecting the people asking the questions to be Trump family members wearing bad wigs and fake noses.
Yeah, I don't see why this is news.
Journalistic ethics means disclosing this sort of thing. It probably is good to point out, just so that norms don't get completely forgotten, but, yeah, this shouldn't surprise anyone.
why would anyone else subject themselves to an hour of trump nonsense?
Because they can't find him on a golf course anymore?
Surprise!
I'm just surprised they could find enough women willing to be in the same room with him.
There are a lot of self hating women out there, I guess.
That's true but it's not so simple. Let's assume many of those women are racist and sexist and xenophobic. How do they choose which candidate to vote for?
One would hope that the answer to that question begins with becoming a less s***** human being, but if you assume that they're not going to make improvements in their own moral character, at least not in the short run, then they have this weird choice to make.
Fox “news”.
At least CNN is reporting it. Although I now feel he’s got it in the bag. He’s the father of IVF for godsake
The fact that so many women support him is disgusting.
Well, of course they would. If they didn't, their husbands would beat them.
I’ve seen black people supporting him, immigrants supporting him, … people got the brain rot these days. And fucking Biden still hasn’t plugged the hole that gives presidents unlimited powers! Fuck that. Either use it to clean the Supreme Court or gut it before the election is over.
Shocking
Yeah... I'm still fucking pissed about it, but I knew they were going to pull this bullshit...
Where's the BiAsEd MeDiA complaints now Magoos? Oh that's right, you never actually gave a shit, you just want to "win" at all costs.
It's projection. Just like everything else Trump says.
He doesn't want "unbiased media", and neither do his supporters. They want a media that's heavily biased towards them. And to a degree, his tactics work. Either out of fear of losing access to Trump, fear he'll post a mean tweet, or just a desire to "appear" unbiased, they will withhold criticism, throw him softball questions, edit unflattering footage, and give his word salads credibility by treating them as if they're serious issues that should be discussed. So in that way, he gets the coverage he wants.
The Onion needs another one of those repeating articles for FOX News.
"Shitty network masquerading as a news organization does shitty partisan thing"
"Shitty propaganda channel masquerading as a news organization continues spreading blatant lies that anyone who pays attention could disprove in 12 seconds"
Duh? Of course they're going to stack the audience with his supporters.
You know that and we know that but guess who doesn’t know that.
Basically all of Fox's viewer base, except for the small percentage that just hate-watch them.
