    I'm actually worried about his safety. I hope they have taken every precaution possible but it's hard to do everything you would want to in so many foreign countries. The last thing we should want is for him to get attacked in some way.

    Fox gets a bad rep for their biased reporting but they're a lot more balanced than CNN and MSNBC. A lot of their anchors aren't even Republicans while shows on CNN are always hosted by Democrats.

    I dont like Trump and I agree it is in poor taste. But honestly, after all the animus and ill will directed at Obama, W before him and Clinton before him, its pretty mild.

    When conservatives were saying the vile things about what they wanted to happen to Obama, were you there to call them out? Not saying you didn't, I don't know, but I'm sure there are conservatives that would be outraged at such comments about Trump that were saying more graphic and vile things about Obama and HRC 6 months ago.

    From a purely practical standpoint, something violent happening to Trump that simultaniously turned him into a martyr and silenced his Twitter-storm would be the worst possible outcome for liberals, and would be a boon for the large number of conservatives that hate Trump. It would unite conservatives behind Pence and his nutty religious agenda and give him carte blanche. Trump is currently the proverbial thorn in the lion's paw of the Republican Party. He's an irritant that keeps the party focused on fighting with itself. He is the agent of chaos inside a Republican party that is akin to herding cats under the best of times. Amartyred Trump is about the only thing that would get the Freedom Caucus and the Tuesday Group working together.

    Right wingers, of course, will either throw an extended tantrum like bigtexxx, or run away and hide for 4 years like Trader Jorge.

    I know. My life is so sad and depressing. :( I scour the internet day in and day out to follow Trump and his idiotic comments. He makes my life so miserable. A president who is on par to be completely ineffective ... but yet has a cult following as if he is running rampant destroying this nation.

    It'll be tough when there's another Democrat in office, what with all the associated progress in social justice, the economy, and the country's standing in the world, but I think the lefties can make do.

    So when Fox News only covers the Trump/Russian/Flynn story indirectly by showing how unhinged the other MSM is in their coverage, you say to yourself "now fair and balanced".

    (Since Trader Jorge was already referenced) you're obviously have to be Basso right ?!? Thanks for the input. You make a ton of sense.

    You're basically saying Fox is biased because they show how other networks are biased

    I am saying that they are biased since they actively suppress bad news for Republicans. They structure their news around partisan talking points. And when they can't spin the bad news (like Comey's letter) they say nothing at all.

    Fox News viewers might not even know anything about the Comey letter, if FN didn't attack the other MSM for their "over the top" coverage of it. If FN show a touch more self discipline, their viewers would be completely ignorant of that story.

    Like when CNN spend so little covering the DNC's emails and quickly shifted their focus on the "hackers"?
