Wait. I think I met you about a year ago at a Crispers get together. I believe that you and your partner attended together and I think I remember you telling me that you taught at a college or prep school. I remember I didn't feel comfortable with either of you because you didn't seem to enjoy being there at all which is so unusual. A moustache? Dark hair? White dress shirt?
OMG GG, you met Don Diego CNM.

This, unfortunetly is true.

Since the Trump entrance into the race, his friends OReilly (a good friend for years and years) Hannity, a long time supporter of Bannon and others have been touting him.

They do not lie on Fox, not that I am aware of, but to your point, the actual news, sans commentary, is pretty much Shep Smith in the PM.

While they do not lie, the do simply ignore things. If you watch Fox faithfully, you will NEVER get a grasp on what is really happening in the world at all. I watch lots of TV news (which is next to impossible at times) and there have been instances when I though I was living in Trumps fantasy world. Just flipping back and forth and the story, mostly from Fox omitting things is so different.

Example.....House and Senate have ongoing investigations into Russia involvement in our elections, plus, Trump campaign involvement with Russia, plus investigation into Trump claims of wiretapping. FOX actually mostly says they are investigating leaks and unmasking of folks. That is patently untrue, but is one of the ploys being used right now to deflect.

That's not fair to anyone who tunes in......they have an entirely different perception than what is real. Many other examples, but that just jumps off the page to me.
The worst is FOX AND FRIENDS, what a joke that bunch is.

And FOX thanks you for your support and for making it THE NUMBER ONE cable news network. Without you liberal viewers, they could not have achieved this status. :BigApplause:

Well people have to have some dependable news source.

Every day I shake my head at the headlines from old dependable sources like AP Wire, Guardian, Reuters, and wonder what The Washington Post will say today to aggravate all of us thinking folks. The New York Times is more fair than other papers, but all of those Fake News sources that people believe from both sides ...that is just scary.

Fox News does good research and only occasionally will hold on some things that aren't complimentary to the right. They are careful in wording, UNLESS it is a OPINION anchor.

Another guy who preaches down to all of us bad people...

"For nearly two decades, Bill O’Reilly has been Fox News’s top asset, building the No. 1 program in cable news for a network that has pulled in billions of dollars in revenues for its parent company, 21st Century Fox.

Behind the scenes, the company has repeatedly stood by Mr. O’Reilly as he faced a series of allegations of sexual harassment or other inappropriate behavior.

An investigation by The New York Times has found a total of five women who have received payouts from either Mr. O’Reilly or the company in exchange for agreeing to not pursue litigation or speak about their accusations against him. The agreements totaled about $13 million."

You have to admit though, that if it weren't for the outright hypocrisy/lies/selective bias of a lot of Faux News reporting...life wouldn't be nearly as entertaining. :D

It wouldn't be as sad...it saddens me to know that people believe the tripe that comes out of ALL the mainstream media.

You don't hear much of this happening in the liberal mainstream media because they are all gay. Just saying. Not defending any of the sexual harassment issues, at all. Just making an observation.

Anderson Cooper and Rachel Maddow yes. But all of the rest.....that is just silly.

Not so silly. Not that it matters, but it might be a contributing factor. Probably why so much news is perverted with the emotionally personal twist leaning to the left.

I don't see a large number of homosexual anchors and I don't see why a person's sexual preferences would have much to do with their political views, except for their minority status. I have never understood why so many Jews were liberals except for that.

There is no doubt that most MSM writers are young or young-er than most of us here in The Villages and most of us here in The Villagers vote Republican. Villagers are more than a group of old people. The restrictions on purchasing new homes cause people to either pay for their homes or get a conventional mortgage for one thing, making the community a lot more conservative from the get go. Liberals are often poor or not very good with money or saving. Liberals also tend to be young or young-er.

By the way, Shepard Smith at Fox news is gay as are several writers for Fox News and Fox News also employs many writers with liberal views.

I don't recall you being so cheeky and unkind out in the main Forum, Chi.

People are gonna think you are from New York rather than Chicago.

Yes, he is another one of them. And when is the last time you have ever heard ANY liberal disparage him? He throws his own emotional liberalism into his reporting. I never watch his hour because I can't stand to hear his opinion when I want to hear the news. Contrary to what you liberals think, some FOX viewers are more interested in the news than the commentary. Everyone has an opinion. I prefer to make my own, rather than regurgitate some political pundit or in the case of liberal networks, wannabe pundits.

Yes Chi, why don't you tell them why you have suddenly become so bitter? You used to be civil. :)

Oh, and I did notice that you got my moniker correct. CUDOS.
