I voted no...but....

While Fox occasionally says some important things, this is because they are the only main conservative MSM on TV, so they cover stories that the other all liberal MSM otherwise ignores for being inconvenient, like Hunter Biden's laptop.

That being said, Fox is essentially the conservative version of MSNBC, it is full of half-truths and omissions, and they only cover stories faithfully that are convenient to their agenda too. No MSM is the good guys, they are consent manufacturers for their respective national committee special interest platforms, which are purchased by corporations and billionaires.

Sun Tzu was wrong, sometimes the enemy of your enemy is not really your friend, though MSM would certainly love to force you into this false duality and get you blindly cheering on the 'right team' while they cornhole you

Pretty much my thinking as well. Half-truths, omissions and an agenda.

I remember my father was a big Bill O'Reilly fan. He watched pretty much every night. I remember us talking about Bill and me saying that Obama could cure both AIDS and Cancer and O'Reilly would still find a negative in it. He would be like:

"Sure these curse are great and all but what about all the people now that stand to lose their job?!? How is this going to affect our economy now??"

While an extreme fabrication, this is pretty much essence of how Bill and even Fox News operates. (Well pretty much all MSM.)

Oooh! Nude photos of Hunter, and no evidence of wrongdoing!

I think that story better recommends the media source for ignoring it.

If you're really into revenge porn, there's sites for that.

When you have been right recently? Perhaps a reconsideration of your positions is in order.

Perhaps a reconsideration of your analysis is in order.
