It baffles me that you could get any intelligence info you want and you decide to watch talk shows. So can't wait for this to be debunked.

(70,510 posts)Fox helped to weoponize the Russia/Wiki leaks information dumps.
Russia hacked into the DNC and HRC computers.
Russia edited the information and then passed it onto Team Trump and places like Breitbart.
After Breitbart and Infowars put the inforamtion "out there"
The Fox News picks it up and "runs w/it."
____________
* As team Trump and the republicans sink under the wieght of the Russian act of war and
collusion Fox will be in damage control 24/7.

(4,268 posts)Fox trash knew what they were doing. That channel does this all the time.
When one of their own "employees" isn't spouting the BS (which may then need a "correction" they simply invite the right nutter guests to do it for them.
Fuck them. The lie's already out there and millions of right wing nutters have already spread it. Mission accomplished.

(6,829 posts)Thanks to a local Florida Fox affiliate back in the early 2000's, a Court determined it is perfectly legal to knowingly LIE on your news broadcasts. The principle here is that the average viewer is supposed to make a consumer decision to pick the most credible news source. If the consumer chooses FOX fabricated manipulative sometimes treasonous and usually false PROPAGANDA AND BELIEVE THEIR BULLSHIT, that is merely a "consumer choice'.
It's too bad most of our MSM has been shopping CORPORATE FRIENDLY PROPAGANDA for at least the last thirty years. Real easy to hang to title "fake news" on our MSM because they usually only produce info friendly to their corporate owners. Fracking is good. Renewables are bad. Global warming is a hoax. Regime change is good. Our military needs and deserves a larger share of the budget, and ex-goldman sachs crooks at the highest levels of our gov't will all work together to help Joe Sixpack lead a happier life, mexicans are stealing your jobs and raping your women. All muslims want to kill all Americans. And so on.
Even Rachel side stepped the TPP issue completely. I saw TPP as an orgy of corps. coming up with a means to sue countries over future expected profits if they make laws that inhibit their right to extract as much money from everywhere and if it's against the law, fucking legalize it!

(121 posts)That if you work at Fox News you are either a crazed sexual predator or a complete and total idiot? I guess they ran the numbers and realized that's what their Republican audience likes to see.
