Peterw42 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I flicked on Fox news this morning, I find it entertaining just how far they can push the envelope. Oreilly with a story about Ivanka Trumps clothing line not selling and being drooped by some outlets, saying its proof of an Obama, Alt left media, democrat plot to bring down the presidency. Do people buy this rubbish ? Given that the presenters refer to themselves as hosts or presenters, not journalists, do people consider it a legitimate news outlet or Trumps media office ?

brewsterbudgen Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 The worst is Sean Hannity. Alt-right conspiracy theorist gone mad. Seems to genuinely believe the narcissistic nonsense he spouts. Link to comment
Ramen087 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Hannity is a GOD. That's why they booted his old partner and gave him sole ownership of his show. Link to comment

Yes, I realise there is a left biased media etc. But The way Trump has set it up, does not take criticism or questioning from the left, its all fake. This has empowered Fox etc. Link to comment
