I always love treads like this. The majority party wants something and the other side attack it. When they change places, the do the same. Fact is, Obama gave far more away when he negotiated with terrorist organizations than Trump has given away to college teams visiting the WH!

That might be a legitimate point, but it’s not at all what the thread is about. With all the talk of biased media, and “fake news” being thrown around by people on the OT, I thought it relevant to show how FOX was guilty of the same ****. I’m not condoning it, but I’m saying that bias has always existed and to trumpet FOX as the source for unbiased information is fvcking laughable.

Everyone on here was praising Trump for his victory in NK, when it wasn’t even close to fvcking victory. He conceded and was given consecessions, but the problem is just as bad as it’s always been. Dog was the only one that made any sense on the subject, asserting it was Trump using NK as a tactic against China. Most everyone else has him ending the NK threat for good.

Maybe everyone could be a little more objective about the current President, both sides. I felt both side could’ve been more objective about the Big O in office too. He lost my vote in ‘12

Saw this one too. Probs be able to do this to the other cable "news" channels once President Lib Other Than Trump wins.


I can't, for the life of me, understand why anyone watches that nonsense. Why do boomers enjoy getting outraged?
Yeah I couldn’t link this except through HuffPost which no rightwinger is going to click on - with good reason.

It’s the better clip, imo, and shows clearly how ridiculous saying FOX has no bias is

What did Trump concede to North Korea?

I’ve read that angering the viewer is a strategy with FOX (and maybe other news as well) because the emotional element triggers an addiction-like reaction from the viewer.

military excercises with SK, and he also indicated we wanted to withdrawal our presence in SK permanently.
You claim that concessions were made on both sides and that the problem is juat as bad as it always has been. I find that ridiculous based off your response.

We are not doing military exercises off the North Korea coast is a huge concession? Especially considering there has not been a missile test or nuke test in around 2 years.

Im surprised boomboom would fall for this but not at all surprised you would. There is a significant difference in the intellect of the two of you.

Sure is. Boomer at least knows he's a White relativist while country can't even figure out what race to belong to?

Would that be sort of like the way those sneaky *** Russians "influenced" all of those otherwise 'smartest people in the world' Hillary voters? You know boom...that "collusion" thingy?

Know what boom? I'm good with them (and all the rest of the media) just telling the Truth by reporting the facts. I can handle it from there.

Bodies. Pull back from DMZ.....?

How in Hell is that a "concession" when those two have been on a hair trigger for war almost the past 70 years? If Fox was biased in their reporting on this what are the alternative 'facts' they left out to make the story better (or worse) than it actually was? As @dave pointed out, the missile tests stopped. North Korea agreed in principle to give up its nuclear ambitions. They stopped threatening to annihilate us! They signed an armistice with South Korea pledging to never attack first. They agreed to allow inspections (those talks are incomplete, and they've been discovered since then to still be enriching uranium) but what did Fox leave out or include that wasn't true?

And there it is. Your point was ridiculous and I called you out. In response you lie about my point to suggest my point is ridiculous.

Imagine a world where you could just be honest?

Wouldn’t that then imply the rest of the MSM also had a different take as well? Or we just want to attack the media we don’t like?

Notice he's not critiquing all of the msm fawning and misinformation on the supposed Nuke deal with Iran? (the JCPOA) The Mullahs were out there threatening to blow Israel off the face of the earth with their Nukes before the ink even dried on that sham! Were we told about any of that on CNN? (I don't know, don't watch them...but I'd almost guarantee they didn't report any of that)

Interesting comment on “the majority party”. There is no majority party in the US. Here is a recent estimate:

Political Party Affiliation | Pew Research Center
https://www.people-press.org/topics/political-party-affiliation
Mar 14, 2019 · A Deep Dive Into Party Affiliation. 39% of Americans identify as independents, more than they do as Democrats ( 32%) or as Republicans (23%). This is the highest percentage of independents in more than 75 years of public opinion polling.

The Republicans were in control of Congress for a couple of years, but that is no longer the case.

Cowering? Thats ironic. Trump should have manned up and talked **** about his mom and sister like a real man.


See, Trump man promise Kim free Stormy porn and plenty fresh fish for my Nukes. My people say "No"


Kim could've had that deal anytime. His generals got jealous they weren't offered free Stormy porn.

I can't help it the three of you are fugly. Start a go fund me for three plastic surgeries.

Maybe we need to start a United Negro college fund drive for you?


Or should these folks ask for donations to help your finances?

(You filed a 250K return with no itemized deductions...you could use some financial counseling)

I will say that the CNN and Fox both appear to hedging their bets and allowing for more diverse comment. I think the real difference is that Fox really only has a couple of hours of "news only" reporting and the declare only Bret Bier, Shep, Smith and Chris Wallace are news people and just about everyone else is opinion based content. CNN tries to pass off everyone as news people and that is where they get into trouble.

The **** are you talking about? Your point was that there have been no tests over the last 2 years. Mine was that things are the same....they are. NK is still a nuclear threat.

Yeah. It is exactly the same. [eyeroll]
