    Ironically, I didn't buy this. Saw the story on fox. Park sheriff telling attorney general to f*ck off. Or clearing people with gas to start work on fencing when all they had to do was wait for another hour to legally be able to use the curfew excuse. And who is to say that fencing order was not given by the white house as an excuse to get those people to stop the protest, which in effect is the same as clearing them out so Trump could feel good about himself.

    In the end he certainly made sure to make the whole affair LOOK like he was a macho dictator who was above law (the right to peaceful gathering and protest). So just because the dude is a master at manipulating media, it doesn't imply media's intention to do best possible news gathering and dissemination has been undermined by billionaires or cancel culture or whatever else BS maga idiots can come up with.

    I want non contributing members to pay their fair share

    We’re the ones they come to see , would it be fair if we have to donate the most since we’re the best ?

    I’m not saying nobody should pay cause they are the most innovative and cause the most economic growth. I’m just saying the people here are truly jealous of entrepreneurs and creative people

    look at the other posters they are basically generic bots

    So laughable seeing mojoman complain about the current press secretary after the previous admin's revolving door that slipped right into jobs at fox news...

    as per the intellectually dishonest author

    "Fox News lost only 12 percent of its viewership between January and May, which proved to be a much more difficult period for CNN.
    The left-leaning outlet coughed up 49 percent of its total viewers during this time."​

    the half-assed author's sleight-of-hand approach---trying to fool readers---intentionally didn't make any mentioning of MSNBC, the quintessential left-leaning netowork.

    MSNBC's ratings have gone up, at the expense of Fox and CNN.

    MSNBC's "Headline White House" has been eating Jake Tapper's lunch​

    I was looking for the credibility issue and who/what it involved and found the following: "Fox News contributor Joe Concha thinks a significant credibility crisis". Is this the expert your headline refers to? The dude doesn't even have a wiki page to his name, it seems.

    And the ratings numbers themselves in there seem to be handpicked, otherwise the article would've been one paragraph long: "X channel declined by Y percents" and "W channel by Z percents". And only THEN specify the "key demo" numbers.

    Not that anyone cares about ratings in a thread related to "fake" news. Ratings are caused by many variables. Maybe if Biden gets impeached, we'll have a boon in ratings. Good luck waiting on that.
