I believe that Fox News is newsworthy.

[WeekiWater]

The three major old school networks(ABC, CBS, NBC) should have been running stories about Fox News on their nightly newscast for a long time now.

Fox News is not a conservative news outlet. They are a propaganda outlet that works to swing elections. Their programs are laced with deception, lies, and opinion masqueraded as the truth. They have hosts who flat out promote conspiracy theories and interject themselves directly into the electoral process. There is no question that the Tea Party would have never become a force had it not been for the passionate support of Fox News.

Having Bret Baier and Brit Hume commentate does not equal out the rest. If the cast of characters were like those two I would give them a pass as a conservative news outlet.

Here is an example of the start of a major nightly news story.

That was on Fox News just before the election. A news story could look at it from multiple angles. The fear aspect. The disinformation. The history of the "judge". It's literally a GOTV effort. There are other reasons it is newsworthy as well but you get my point.

Fox News built the Tea Party to what it is. Fox News is a GOTV effort for the GOP.

2. They're scared of Rupert Murdoch

... just like they were scared of Roger Ailes. But he's been dead almost 2 years! I sure hope Murdoch goes soon too.
As an aside I don't understand how "Judge" Jeanine Pirro is allowed to use that title. She's no more a judge than I am.
She's a right-wing flunky and nothing else.

3. The original mission statement, long since scrubbed,

said that it was created to counter a perceived liberal bias in the media. The literally spelled out that their purpose was to have a conservative bias.

4. There have been networks with a conservative bias for a long time.

Few have had GOTV efforts for the GOP. I truly mean GOTV efforts. Fox News is different than conservative news, IMO.

7. Few have proudly declared that their express purpose was to have conservative bias.

I didn't and don't compare them to other conservative news.

5. Does that woman always talk like that? She's a red-hatted goner.

I could only stand a minute of her outrage but it would be fun to shove that first minute back at her while asking "what say you now?"

Then again, it's doubtful it would change her mind or allow her to become aware of her hypocrisy.

6. Lets add CNN. Just watched Brianna someone interviewing

Republican swiftboater Ken Starr about his new hit book on the Clintons. Completely respectful of a person so despicable that he ruined his own career at that time, even the Republicans couldn't touch him. She asked him the questions he wanted and gave him all the time he wanted to spin his stories. Democrats today may run into the same impeachment problems the Pubs did trying to ax Bill Clinton if "cooler heads" don't prevail. Yeah, right. The whole thing literally could have been on Fox.

Here's whatsherface drawing false equivalence between Hillary and Trump, making all the good adjectives are included:

"You make a point in your book, you say that...neither Bill nor Hilllary Clinton has the character to be the leader of the free world. You called Hillary...smug, dismissive, brittle, a liar, vindictive. I wonder because these are also the adjectives that critics of President Trump's that they will use. Do you think that he is equipped to have the character...?

8. In my opinion...

CNN floats in the wind. They are what I would refer to as a conservative news network. They throw in some crap and propaganda along the way but I don't see them doing GOTV drives for the GOP. CNN is easily distracted by shiny things.

I do agree with much of what you say. Many segments on CNN would find a good home being broadcast at Fox News.

9. Judge (sic) Jeaniine is a fine example of how they live in opposite world.

Everything she is carping about is exactly what we're getting with the Siberian Candidate.

10. You are right.
