    Do you want to know why the banners are saying they are banning the banned?
    Do you want to know why the banned are saying they are being banned?

    Which one would you believe is the truth?

    Whichever the answer is ( am I correct in assuming you believe you know?), it shall not set ye free.
    There is no way out.

    Anything that bases it's reporting on the AP or Reuters is garbage.
    They all do that.

    I like Al Jazeera and RT. They report on different things, and on the same things with a different perspective than the US networks.

    i mean fox has plenty of issues and blemishes
    but there isn't anything else out there
    maybe talk radio but i don't listen to that and actually i don't even watch fox wout cable the last 4 months
    but theres supposed to be at least a counter to the states conversation
    i'm totally stunned that liberals want to shut down any other voice that doesn't agree
    it just didn't used to be that way
    JFK would have been a hard core conservative they would scream at and shut down

    I know why many of the banned say/believe they are banned. It is different from the official reason they were banned.
    no.
    There are plenty ways to stay informed if that's what u want to do.
    News is not information. It's infotainment.
    Its not a source. Its a poisoned well.
    I don't look at any networks for news.
    The news is everywhere online.
    You just gotta go out and find it.
    You gotta kill your own dinner.
    Networks serve you news.
    If you want to get served your lunch.

    True...

    I read and listen to the people most of u would call kooks.
    I know why they were banned.
    For telling us the news.
    And for making jokes about sacred red heifers.
    Networks have corporate owners and business partners. They can never cross any of these entities. The money is too great for everyone involved to fuck with the company line.
    If you do you are fired.
    Why do u think all the leftist media are pro war now?
    They are owned by companies that have deep defense dept contracts.

    Yall are way too comfortable for any of this stuff.
    It's deep nerd territory thick in the weeds.
    I like Tucker but he plays dumb sometimes.
    And other times he is too comfortable too.
    Fox is bad news but at least its still a fox that gets a good chicken now and then.

    i don't think fox is the beginning and end of the world i just asked what other tv supplies anything even remotely conservative besides them?
    if they weren't there it would be just cnn, msnbc and the others spouting liberal policy and making shit up to suit the agenda
    for that i am grateful and i do watch an occasional snippet of Carlson like the one i posted
    media matters is soros lap dog and he is weaponized against Tucker in particular because of his huge audience
    they don't like people talking bad about the fools on the left like kamala and spartacus, pochahontas and the bern

    Fox News is the most watched network on cable.
    It murders its competitors, numbers wise.

    Their straight news (Shepard Smith, Bret Baher, Chris Wallace, etc.) is about as unbiased, fair, and balanced as it gets (granted, that's a low bar). CNN and MSNBC's straight news is no different than their opinion shows. They just aired an on-screen graphic saying "Trump Embarrassed by Senate" or something like that on one of their straight news shows.

    As far as prime time political commentary, I don't see how Sean Hanity or Tucker Carlson are any worse than Don Lemon, Rachel Maddow, Anderson Cooper, etc.

    The fact that Fox News is disproportionately criticized in the media and popular culture is solely because it's the only network that doesn't toe the leftist line.

    The MSM has lost its mind. 93 percent negative coverage on Trump? Even if you conceded that Trump is a horrible president, it's almost impossible to believe that 93% of what he does is negative.

    not a fan of chelsea at all
    playing the entitled card she learned all too well from mom
    that said, to blame her for the shootings is ludicrous
    and glad the donald stepped up to defend her

    Chelsea Clinton berated by students blaming her rhetoric for causing NZ shootings
    by Christal Hayes | USA TODAY — 9 hours ago

    WASHINGTON – Video of Chelsea Clinton being confronted by several students who claimed her "rhetoric" had "stoked" the New Zealand mosque attacks went viral Saturday — and allowed for an unexpected bipartisan moment as Republicans came to her defense.

    The video was taken Friday at a vigil in New York for the 50 victims of the shootings, which targeted two mosques in Christchurch. Students confronted Clinton, who is pregnant with her third child, over statements she'd made denouncing anti-Semitism.

    "This right here is the result of a massacre stoked by people like you and the words that you put out into the world," one student said in the video. "I want you to know that and I want you to feel that deep inside. The 49 people died because of the rhetoric you put out there."

    Other students who circled around started snapping in support, a show of solidarity instead of clapping.

    Clinton responded, putting her hands up to her heart, and telling the group that she was sorry they felt her comments were wrong. Clinton, the daughter of former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, was one of many political leaders who denounced anti-Semitism after Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar criticized Israel's treatment of Palestinians and alleged money and lobbying were driving the United States to defend Israel and halt debate over the issue.

    "I am so sorry that you feel that way," Clinton told the students. "It certainly was never my intention. I do believe that words matter. I believe we have to show solidarity with each other."

    Another student chimed in on the video asking, "What does 'I'm sorry you feel that way mean?"

    The students, at least one of whom were Palestinian, said they felt the need to speak up after the controversy surrounding Rep. Omar.

    Critics, including some of Omar's fellow Democrats, said her comments about lobbying and Israel played to anti-Semitic tropes. In the aftermath of her comments, the House took up a resolution that denounced anti-Semitism and other forms of hatred.

    Omar apologized for the comments but stood firm in wanting to spark conversation about lobbying and whether money influences the relationship between countries. She said the charge of anti-Semitism was "designed to end the debate" about Israel's treatment of Palestinians.

    U.S. presidents have tried and failed for decades to fashion an agreement to end the conflict that has persisted since Israel was founded in 1948, including calls for a two-state solution. The goal of creating an independent Palestinian state existing peacefully alongside Israel has been embraced by past Democratic and Republican administrations and the United Nations.

    But the path for peace has been marred by terrorism, wars and a growing Israeli presence in areas Palestinians want for a homeland.

    At a town hall earlier this month, Omar said she was concerned that because of her religion "a lot of our Jewish colleagues, a lot of our constituents, a lot of our allies, (think) that everything we say about Israel (is) anti-Semitic because we are Muslim."

    The video of Clinton and students quickly started making the rounds Friday evening with a wide array of people, on both sides of the political aisle, condemning the students for blaming Clinton for the tragedy in New Zealand.

    Donald Trump Jr. ✔@DonaldJTrumpJr
    It’s sickening to see people blame @ChelseaClinton for the NZ attacks because she spoke out
    against anti-Semitism. We should all be condemning anti-Semitism & all forms of hate. Chelsea
    should be praised for speaking up. Anyone who doesn’t understand this is part of the problem.

    same mistake conservatives have made for years
    they try to play nice while not one liberal stands up when the outrageous accusations are made about Trump
    come to think of it not one repube stands up for him either

    While it is difficult to defend a habitual liar (69%+15%=84% lies) the GOP cretins have done so unabashedly for 2 years.
    Now they sense a shift in the winds of fortune and the GOP is willing to hang Trump out to dry since he was never 'their' guy.

    If Trump was as smart as he claims he'd use his populist grasp and run as an independent and piss off both sides.
    But he's far from that smart
