I listened to Fox News today

Knuckle Ball · Apr 24, 2019

I decided to try broadening my horizons and listening to a different point of view so I listened to Fox News all day today in my car. I took in about 3 hours worth of programming. Overall, I think I did a good job of trying to keep an open mind even though I had to shut off the radio periodically cuz I was getting annoyed with their lies and propaganda. However, I kept coming back to it.

There were a couple of moments where I was pleasantly surprised in their news coverage’s insight and objectivity...but then those moments get drowned out by a lot of obvious bullshit.

Anyway...I hung with it right up until Tucker Carlson’s show came on and I just couldn’t take it so I flipped back over to MSNBC for the last 15 minutes of my drive home.

It comes as no surprise that anyone who chooses to listen to MSNBC aka Conspiracy Theory TV will generally be annoyed when listening to Fox News. That's because you're missing an important step - de programming.

3 hours - wow. I will listen to Fox once in while to hear the "other" side. Max I can take is 15 minutes. Its obvious total bullshit. You would think these people are from MARS . Try listening to Lou Dobbs on FOX Business - max I can take is 5 minutes. The nonsense this guy spews is freaking nuts. Him and ED Rollins - just spewing bullshit like crazy.

If “de-programming” will make me be cool with Tucker Carlson’s white nationalism then I think I’ll take a pass. I don’t want to accept that as normal.

Lets see, those on the right seem to use one sole source, Fox, while those on the left use multiple sources from multiple countries.
Who is likely being programmed more?

I check it out in hotels, the only place I'm near cable these days. Will watch it while using the gym. But I could never last 3 hours without laughing out loud.

That's because Fox News is the only right of center news network. The left has MSNBC, CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS and of course that bastion of news the Daily Show with Trevor Noah.
I don't sole source Fox. I watch BBC World and CTV. I read WSJ and follow The Hill and The Federalist.

You missed the best show on FOX. Tune into Carlson daily and you'll learn things.

The only people calling Tucker Carlson a white nationalist are extreme left guests on MSNBC and outlets like VOX, GQ and Mother Jones. All because he won't cowtow to the open borders crowd and to accepting white privilege.

CNN, ABC, NBS et al are right wing, you're just so far right you don't notice.

First time I heard Justin talk, a long time before he became our PM, I actually started feeling like I had to throw up. I thought that it was something I ate. But, then I remembered that I had a similar reaction whenever Obama came on. So, food was out. MSNBC clinched it for me. Whenever I put it on, I was feeling physically sick. It turns out that I'm allergic to bullshit. I'm incapable of watching morons like Lemon or Cuomo or Brzezinski- I have to read the transcripts, if I want to know what they say. And it is getting worse with age, increasing knowledge and experience.

BEST DESCRIPTION OF CNN EVER:

“Panels of people sitting around a table inhaling their own exhaust and getting high on it.”

This statement is proof that you are detached from reality. They're all Un Democrat supporters.

Time to split up America into two countries between Red and Blue States. FOX NEWS and all its zombie followers -please move out of New York and CA and you can all move into Kentucky and TX. You can keep Traitor Trump as your prez and move him out of DC and into Kentucky. The Blue States will have its own Democratic Prez in DC . Repubs can take military in red states, dems can take miliatry in blue states.

See? I can read that and even have a laugh. Had that been part of some broadcast, I'd switch the channel. Fascinating.

I noticed something interesting on this chart:
I have never even heard of any of those Super Far Left shows they identify; but...
...I have definitely heard of Breitbart and InfoWars on the Super Far Right; in fact, so much so that I would call them mainstream news for a conservative audience.

Users here quote those sites frequently...LOL!

latinboy · Apr 25, 2019

I'm still stuck on Frankfooter being "in a gym" and Conway_Stewart being in a car. Does anyone really believe these two alt lefts ever leave their keyboards? Nah.

Besides Conway flaunts himself for years as "Mr. 1%", living a life of magnificent wealth and opulence. So it doesn't jibe that he's driving his own car in the first place. I guess the narcissist is not getting enough attention from his homies on the gutter site he resides on. Hmmmm.

Either way the delusions and derangement in this thread is palpable.

Good for a laugh though. LOL

They call CNN a "leftie" news media. Why..........because they point out to the obvious ridiculousness of the present POTUS. Someone who blatantly lies and then expects the MSM to buy it, is obviously the "Enemy of the People" in their story book.

Vanessa Otero, the creator of the chart, hasn't a clue if she thinks networks like CNN have "minimal partisan bias". It's quite funny!
