Fox News anchors

[freeworld]

Watters cant be taken seriously as a news anchor after his watters world skit. He seems to have this constant boyish amused grin on his face. Fox news is just not entertaining anymore. CNN and MSNBC are the go to channels atm.

Blitzer's cover of the attack on Bagdad is what put CNN on the map.  But it's been downhill since.  Now, CNN is just a media arm of the DNC.

 

Sometimes on Blitzers coverage of war events it looks like he is planning the war strategy.

In the interest of accuracy, it was Bernard Shaw:

 

"The skies over Baghdad have been illuminated"

 

The late Shaw was in a Baghdad hotel room with Peter Arnett as the first Gulf War began.

If you took the time to watch all of Biden's SOTU speech, you would maybe see someone who talks cogently and with vigor. Depending on how entrenched your bias is.

 

Then tell me what you can detect in a Trump speech which remotely resembles a policy which will benefit the average American. After you have filtered out every deflection, non sequitur, and arrant nonsense.

 

You, like many others, seems to like things black and white. Biden good, Trump bad, that's it.

I, on the other hand, want good and bad information about all of them.

All in all, I think Biden is by far the better choice, even if he is a bad choice.

 

Biden has moments when behaves like he is demented. He talks (maybe only for seconds) like an idiot. He tries to shake hands with not existing people, etc. Maybe if DEMs supporters would know more about this, then maybe they would understand why people want someone else than Biden.

Maybe they would even force the party to look for a younger, fitter, candidate.

Trump is obviously a maniac. But sometimes he is right. I.e. when he talks about the swamp in Washington, he is talking about reality. There is a big swamp. Trump doesn't mention that the swamp includes the GOP and he is obviously not the right guy to solve this problem. But he has a point, there is a deep swamp. And some people hear that and agree with him and vote for him for that reason.

Good catch.  Shaw was on location.  But I remember watching Blitzer.  Pretty much 24/7.  Before that, CNN was a curiosity.

For a good chuckle, one should try to find the leaked Business Plan for Fox, written by Roger Ailes.

 

Ailes was of the view that lesser intellects were not being well-served by media thought to be too high brow and complicated. He argued that dumbing down news into simple black and white concepts would draw society's lesser lights, perhaps most all of them. Individually they might not represent an attractive demographic for advertisers, but collectively they would be large enough to draw ads.

 

Murdoch bought into Ailes thinking, and Fox "News for the Rest of You" was born.

 

Obviously it has the largest market share, because more high brow media splits its audience, while Fox---and now with some competition from OAN and Newsmax---captured its target demographic.

 

Fox let its success go to its head, however, and seemed to forget that lying can carry consequences. Tucker---now fired---was unveiled as merely a Performance Artist who 'shouldn't be taken seriously' (his lawyer in court). Dominion got $787 million from Fox for spreading lies, and an ongoing $2 billion lawsuit by Smartmatic could hurt Fox even more.

I can ignore the occasional lapses from Biden, because I am old myself. I call them senior moments.

 

IMO they don't matter, because Biden surrounded himself with able people. In contrast to Trump, who staffed the White House with toadies, and marginalized or got rid of anyone who dared disagree with him.

 

Trump is probably right about the Washington swamp. When one in ten people in Washington is a lawyer, perhaps inevitable. However, all he did was replace the crocodiles with alligators.

Yes, Trump is worse, a lot worse.

But some people, maybe people who watch only fox, see how Biden behaves, and those people think: That is not good, we want someone who doesn't behave like a fragile old man.

Trump is not much younger, but he shows (at least as far as I see) a lot more energy. He knows how to get the crowd moving in his MAGA shows.

Does that make him a better president? No. But is explains why lots of people prefer him.

I think it's humorous and insightful reading the comments from non Americans arguing amongst themselves about the USA. It confirms that the USA is the greatest country. If for instance Trump simply disappeared, the wokist media would shrivel up.

Non-Americans are quite bewildered by the bi-polar characteristics of the USA and its citizens.

 

There are some things America is superbly competent at. In others, we can only gaze in wonder at abject stupidity.

He could spit out the news about bombs going off and children being killed and then 5 minutes later talk about the weather with the same tone of voice. 

Isn't that what characterizes an objective NEWS caster? A la Walter Cronkite?

I understand that part. He has to be present but is not allowed to say or so what he wants to. So, the best way for him to spend that time it to sleep.

The USA isn't the greatest country. If Trump disappeared our country can work at being great again. And perhaps people would stop using childish terms. And using them improperly.

You should know by now anyone who defends faux will only answer questions in any or all of the following:

(D) eny

(I) gnore

(L) ie

(D) eflect

(O) bfuscate

Accepting truth would mean they would have to admit they were wrong, and heaven forbid THAT should ever happen!

When he testifies himself, he can respond to questions, like any other defendant. In the meantime, he has hired lawyers to speak for him.
