Why I Left Fox News

[Madmick]

You don't need a whistle blower to see the cartoonish level of narrative engineering being employed by MSNBC and CNN. They have gone full Goebbels when it comes to narrative engineering and propaganda.

Concession accepted.

But as far as whistle blowers how about Donna Brazile? Didn't CNN get caught giving debate questions to Hillary's campaign?

She was not instructed to do that by CNN, and they fired her once the story came out. She tattled on herself.

Funny how you asked that like it was a question. You were aware of the story, so we can deduce with a high level of confidence that you possess a memory far below average.

I'd be shocked if TCK didn't have Trump pubic hair on his dental floss.

She didn't "whistleblow" on CNN. You apparently failed to grasp that. Nobody in CNN management played any part in her malfeasance, and you have admitted that you cannot produce a single whistleblower to mirror the four I've produced. You have conceded that you cannot substantiate your claim.

Concession accepted.

Beautiful. Your weaker mind bends to my own.

Interesting. What was the claim I cannot substantiate?

There's that Olympic memory again...

Yet you cited an example of "whistleblowing" which did not substantiate this. This is easily divined from the nature of the story, but of course that would require accurately recalling the details of the story. We call it an "admission", not "whisteblowing", when the matter is a confession of personal wrongdoing.

Lol the state of internet discussions these days. We're one step away from swathing ourselves like Shaolin monks and saying things like, "the striking mantis seizes the high ground."

 

[HereticBD]

Oh', this crusader...

Yeah, he realized Fox News is a propaganda network just now, conveniently after his contract ran out. A likely story.

Sorry, but this move is not as noble as he makes it out be. This war mongering maniac slung their shit for years.

 

[Mark Cutting]

Fox News have always pushed propaganda, establishment republicans are just angry that the chickens came home to roost and displaced them.

Fox news is the cancer that immunized people against critical thinking.

Doesn't know what immunized means... doesn't work in your context

I hope you join me in not contributing to that embarrassing shit!

If I get banned this will be a phenomenal gimmick

This was about Fox news , it wasn't trying to be anything more

This is just whataboutism

Unfortunately that’s only true if you didn’t read all the way through. The last several lines clearly disagree with you.

All I was implying is that Fox and CNN are the same shit, but different pile; and it's hilarious that one could even suggest that CNN doesn't do the same thing as Fox does, especially since the Trump era.

CNN unethically aired live, unedited Trump campaign rallies. Would Fox ever air a live campaign rally of a Democratic candidate? Of course not. CNN unethically hired someone who was contractually bound not to say anything negative about Trump. Would Fox ever do that for a Democratic candidate? Of course not. CNN played up a minor violation of state-department IT protocols by a Democratic candidate as the top story of the election year. Would Fox do that to a Republican candidate? It's a ridiculous comparison--just reflexive bothsidesism.

CNN and FOX are just echo chambers..theyre both garbage

Yes, but it is entertaining to see each side accusing the other of living in an echo chamber, completely oblivious to their own condition.

CNN's commentary panels are surprisingly unbiased.

They have Republican congressman and former congressman as panel members like Rick Santorum.

On every 'commentary' show they have a Trump spokesperson as a guest. Cooper, Lemon, all have them.
Jeffrey Lord, Jason Miller, Kayleigh McEnany, Scottie Nell Hughes, Jack Kingston & a bunch of others are at least 1-2 of them on the panel each show. Hardly biased.

I watch Fox too and they never have strong/high profile Democrats as panel members. Their prime time shows are just loaded with people who agree with them.

Tucker The Bow Tie bitch does get some credit for having some good left guests but Hannity, Ingraham & Watters suck and just preach to the choir.

You can tell someone is a full blown Trump supporter who just reads his tweets when they scream "CNN is just as bad as Fox, fake news".

CNN have been working with the New York Times (another paper Trump blasts and his minions parrot) a lot throughout the last year, who have been the leaders on breaking investigative reporting in this administration. They've really stepped up.

The NYT have had the inside scoop on 90% of Trumps cabinet firings (that he screams fake news/then fires them days later). Specifically Maggie Haberman & Michael Schmidt.

Baire is prime time typically has very good panels.

Anyone who equates CNN with Fox News doesn't have a firm grasp on reality

 

[Prokofievian]

Perhaps you can produce a whistleblowing testimonial from an ex-MSNBC or ex-CNN reporter that demonstrates the same bias and narrative-engineering?

Or do you expect others to accept your opinion offered with no substance or evidence of any kind?

It's historically been a winning strategy.

Are you and Palis really moderators here?

Yes, but it is entertaining to see each side accusing the other of living in an echo chamber, completely oblivious to their own condition.

Perhaps almost as entertaining as seeing a "bothsidesism" poster reveal his errant assumption that the original poster is criticizing the other "side" rather than his own; thereby revealing an obliviousness to their condition while ironically presuming ignorance on their behalf. An additional erroneous assumption is that the "other" side is presented to be innocent rather than asymmetrical in the context of a specific allegation.

Lol the state of internet discussions these days. We're one step away from swathing ourselves like Shaolin monks and saying things like, "the striking mantis seizes the high ground."

If taking the time to formulate this response spared the forum another one of your vapid threads I think even Shaolin Monks would agree the discussion has been elevated.
