    This infuriates me so much. The fact that they can just present themselves as a news source while flat out lying day after day is disgusting.

    I like how the only quotes on the chryon surround quid pro quo. Because that’s the only words he actually said

    I've never understood them not making this point. It's not like Trump was elected in May 2019 and this was his first act. He's been there for 2 1/2 years and never cared to do this until now, after he removed the ambassador.

    It's so obvious it hurts.

    What do you mean bad timing? Either it isn’t related to anything going on ... OR ... it would have been useful during hearings or debates

    They present themselves as entertainment, just like Jon Stewart and John Oliver, it’s just that Fox’s audience thinks it’s legit news.

    Not really...
    They *claim* in defense to be entertainment (on technicality mind you) when they feel a need to respond to criticism - but they most certainly present themselves as news to their actual audience.

    Looking at the Twitter replies, it's chock-full of trolls and fucking idiots who have certainly never heard of Uyghurs or how that word is pronounced. Maybe he didn't nail the pronunciation, but it's not far off.

    No wonder we got Trump. We're a dumbass country trolled by those who know they can exploit our dumbassedness. Fortunately, the Great Filter is fast approaching.

    Agreed, but the point that Jordan tried to make yesterday to circumvent this was that what changed was there was a new Ukrainian President and parliament elected and they needed to be vetted. While we know it is not valid, I think it provides the shade he needs for that base.

    Weekly World News also called themselves “news.” Doesn’t necessarily make that a fact.

    I think I've read this before, but their wiggle is to say that they are a news reporting agency during the day and an entertainment vehicle at night. It's horseshit, but it's how they operate.
