I see you linked to Politifact, which itself lies constantly, and another site, that appears to have to do with polling?

There is no indication this "information" has any credibility at all.

There is no comparison, whatsoever, between the deliberate fusillade of dishonest propaganda, spewing like water from a firehose on the Fox News Network, and MSNBC.

In fact, MNBC programs like Chris Hayes and Rachel Maddow's shows do a tremendous job of debunking the craziness from Fox.

Political discussion is always subjective, up to a point. But when Fox entertains Birthers or violent Sovereign Citizen types, or climate change deniers, or even when it somehow manages to put a little (D) next to every single Republican caught in a sex scandal, it is lying, profusely, deliberately, and constantly.

Not the "same." Not at all.

If it did, would that be a crime for which I am never to be forgiven? Do you have a stake you ChisolmTrailDem Jul 2014 #57
