Fox News: fair and balanced

Sometimes I like to see what 'the dark side' is pushing:

Lynn Sweet of the Chicago Sun-Times was on Fox this morning discussing with the Fox host and a conservative guest that Trump has had only two security briefings since becoming the President-elect.

The conservative guest and the Fox host said no one has said Trump isn’t getting written info, reporters aren’t watching him 24/7, that he doesn’t have to go somewhere every day to have someone explain things to him.
(He has a great mind)

Lynn Sweet began her response with “Well, I disagree with that ...”
and was immediately cut off by the host with:
“OK, we’ll have to leave it at that” and went to a commercial.

Yeah, with a major tilt to the right! Too bad the Democratic Party doesn't have its own network. And no, MSNBC is not the lefts version of FUXSNOOZE. When Keith Olberman got shitcanned that network started on its downward/tilt right. Since the election I've stopped watching all cable news. The thing is I think I'm much better off for it, too. It's like the NFL; I've stopped watching and I don't miss it in the least. My Sundays, Mondays and Thursdays are much more productive, too!😋👌

Over the next four years limited press access will be normalized as another one of our constitutional rights falls by the wayside.

Journalism sold out for ratings and revenue in their very own ratification of a modern day Enabling Act.
