    I have a family member that has completely drank the FOX news kool-aid.

    Her response about news to me "I don't want to get into a discussion but I believe FOX news is the most fair and balanced of any network out there and I'm not in the mood to debate it."

    How are you even able to debate ANYTHING with a person that uses the networks campaign slogan word for word?!?

    I'm still floored by her statement to me...

    Anyone seen the showtime series with Russel Crowe as Aisles?

    Hate that. It's like, I have my opinion, I have my reasons for my opinions, but I'm unwilling to share my reasons lest they be disproven.

    Fox News Contributor Tyrus Sent Lewd Texts To Colleague: ‘Pull Your Boobs Out’

    Fox Nation split up Tyrus and his former co-host, Britt McHenry, after he sent her the messages. But he still works at the network.

    No it's beyond that.  I'm bullheaded like most of my family but I can listen to certain things and call bullshit.

    I used to listen to Hannity because people always talked great about him (Consider the sources, I know) and couldn't understand why they loved him.

    Glen Beck was insane so I enjoyed him though.

    I watch Fox now to see what the other half thinks.  I do agree with them that the left has an absolute bias towards the President.

    the bias towards the president was insanely worse under obama.

    On FOX? Of course!  Not too much anywhere else.

    Obama was the first president I saw that held office and wasn't respected.  We saw a shoe or two get thrown at Bush but that was in a different country but nothing like how Obama and Trump have been treated while in office.  Not even close.

    Everyone has an opinion now and people that "tweet" it will get picked up and before you know it, it's viral or trending.

    That seems to be the norm now with biases.  They root for their base and shun the opposition.

    It's getting hard to find a bipartisan news source that doesn't have pundits that tell the news.  BBC is still good, Maddow and Hannity, Carlson suck.  

    Young Turks crack me up.

    The Dayton shooter was a far leftist.  I don’t see cnn covering that.  But it is true.  Most Americans aren’t caught up on some race war that certain media is pushing.  It really is probably low on the list.  Most Americans aren’t experiencing this divisiveness that CNN is pushing.  Ratings wise, most Americans aren’t even watching CNN anymore because they aren’t in tune with the country.  But it’s one of the few legs dems can stand on for the next election.  Push the agenda that you think will get you to the finish line.  Tucker is right, most Americans aren’t concerned.  What they are concerned about is their jobs, the economy, and taxes.  Sorry for not making a mountain out of a mole hill because Don Lemon looks sad.  He’s got his audience that cares, Tucker has his.  Ratings are ratings.  It is what it is.

    Did you vote for Trump?

    Didn’t vote last go around.  Didn’t feel good voting for either.  Why would you ask that by the way?
