    Fair enough, MSNBC is probably more accurate

    The idiot is you, RussianLegend, with all respect due. That's if you are human, and not a Russian bot. Right now, I'm leaning towards you not being human. Few humans could be so consistently stupid and wrong about the issues. You are a damaged human being, assuming you are human. A tiny bit of crap that couldn't quite get flushed from a Russian toilet. In my humble opinion.

    Every single host is a Democrat donor. Colbert is the biggest Democrat shill on late night.

    Fox News updated a story that erroneously claimed one of Roy Moore’s accusers had “forged” evidence she’d presented to bolster her claim against him.

    SUCK ON THAT, RL.

    People that say Fox News is biased or far right don't even watch Fox news. They usually get their Fox News opinion from Liberal news sites like Media Matters.

    Fox News is absolutely biased and it's gotten worse in the last 2 years since it has basically turned into Trump News. You denying Trump News is biased is every bit as bad as a liberal denying that MSNBC is nothing but fringe left propaganda.

    Now that Donald Trump is asking that a WaPo reporter be fired for tweeting fake news, will he do the same for the Fox News reporter who did the same??? LOFL , of course he won’t, @RocketsLegend. How dumb can you be to not realize how hypocritical Trump is?

    Exactly. Even CNN obviously slants left. I will say that they probably attack Trump more than Bush due to how utterly dumb and dishonest he is, but they are biased.

    Don't let that POS affect you. He's a very miserable human being (or bot)

    I like watching it. It's totally surreal.

    Be honest, you don't watch Fox News.

    Not for long. I give everyone a few minutes. It's pretty predictable. Yahoo! will surprise you- sometimes, they'll have a lot of Huff posts and such- other times, they'll have the feed full of Fox, CNS, etc.

    Even with Fox news reporting favorably about Trump, the vast majority of televised coverage about him is negative.

    One would reason that his tenure has been a disaster if they based it off media coverage.

    Trump brings a lot of it on himself. But yes, they do tend to mention very little positive about him.

    (BTW, that brief enough for you?)

    You don’t really have to watch FoxNews if you catch 5 minutes of Rush in the morning. His talking points get repeated on Fox and everywhere else all day long. The guy is a mastermind of controlling what 40% of the population say on a daily basis and outlets like FoxNews would be rudderless without him.

    They are certainly legit journalists on FOX that are unhappy with Trump and don't like being his propaganda wing.

    But they are his propaganda wing.

    Have we ever had a president who actively pimps news shows? Did Obama ever tell people to watch a channel? I'm serious.

    Trump and Fox work in tandem throughout the day. Not ALL FOX guys participate (Shep Smith for example) but it's clear that Trump has the full throated support of Fox & Friends, Hannity, Ingram, etc. If Trump attacks someone, they attack them. If someone attacks Trump they give him his talking points to attack back. Hannity doesn't pretend to be something else at least. He outright acknowledges that he is out to work against the "liberal agenda."
