maybe it was my natural distrust of tv people but i swear watching their â â â â â â â â pushed me to the non-left

So the tactics of conservatism are converging with the lamented tactics of libs, greeted with a soft shrug. Seems like a super principled position.

Well, if thereâs one thing we know, itâs that the internet provides a safe haven from such designs by âthe media.â Thank god for the objective internet, operating above the fray.

Yes, sure, parts of the internet operates using the same format, I donât seek those parts out either. Oddly enough, given my political leanings I primarily get my news from the wifeâs New York Times subscription. Yes, they have a slant to the left but I wouldnât say their business model relies on division and virtue signaling to the extent cable news does. Cable news is basically news for eighth graders imho.

I remember the outrage when one of the major media outlets ran video of a military ordnance range and said it was fighting between the Turks and the Kurds in Syria after Trump pulled us out of that area.
I notice the outrage is absent here now.
I certainly didnât hear that we should âfocus on the main story about the US leaving the Kurds out to dryâ and not focus on the âmedia deceptionâ back then.

Trump and his supporters including Fox ALWAYS do what they accuse others of doing.
This right here is real FAKE NEWS.

Youâd think theyâd be better at fake news. And this is why I always tell you guys⌠Find out for yourself. I donât watch Fox, I donât watch CNN. They tell you what they want you to know. Excellent job moonshine on exposing this
Hereâs an excerpt from second to last paragraph of this piece of garbage article:
While photo illustrations that meld images can be OK in certain contexts, such as for features or opinion pieces, have no place in straight news coverage.
Fox News only has one straight news show that Iâm aware of and the rest are news opinion shows, with straight news snippets reported throughout the show and news crawls throughout the day. Otherwise itâs pretty much a 24 hour news opinion channel folkâs and they donât pretend to be otherwise so donât get your shorts in a knot as this junk article finally admits thatâs itâs actually âokayâ! 
One more thingâŚif a picture of a burning building caused by violent protests/riots has an incorrect city designation doesnât make it imaginary. 
Leftists like to tell us we have lying eyes and we are not really seeing what we actually see! 
MehâŚthey are both problems. But the news should inform us about what is going onâŚnot doctor photos or video to make you think one thing is happening when something entirely different is actually happening.
That is extremely nefarious would you agree. Or is it only nefarious when CNN does it?
I think itâs Nafarious when any of them, do it. What say you.

I noticed a reduction in lately in poeing. Guess I wasnât looking in the right places!
Any person s in Fox News who knowingly presented the doctored photo to editors as genuine should definitely be disciplined. We donât know whether it was a conservative gilding the lily to impugn the already self-impugned looters and rioters, or whether it was a liberal activist in the organisation seeking to excuse CNN et al. with a âSee, Fox News does it tooâ defense.
Iâm guessing it was more a staffer thinking reality doesnât matter to our viewers . They have proven that by their slavish devotion to the cult of trump
