Your not raining on my parade 72. My point was that it was implied that she didn't have the credentials or the experience to do her job. I understand a lot of you folks out there don't like what she has to report, that is a matter of opinion. If you want to explain why she is not qualified to be an investigative reporter... well you probably have to go a little deeper than you disagree with her stories. I think the reality is she pisses you off and you can't stand it. IMO that is much closer to reality since I understand how thin skinned you are as well.jhu72 wrote: ↑Thu May 30, 2019 12:04 pmforeverlax wrote: ↑Thu May 30, 2019 11:00 amBrett Baier is about as fair and balanced as Fox's news can get....guess he is now a Rino.jhu72 wrote: ↑Thu May 30, 2019 10:48 amThe "news division" (hate using that word in reference to anything at Fox) is starting to push back on the "entertainment/propaganda division".

Fox’s Baier: Despite What Trump Says, ‘This Was Not No Collusion, No Obstruction’
..
Fox executives if they are any good, and I suspect they are, have to be concerned about a viewer backlash if the Mueller report breaks through. Some of these people actually believe the fair and balanced nonsense. They actually have an opportunity to get right with the world by now pushing the Mueller report as something their viewers should pay attention to.
Fox is definitely starting to show some cracks between news and entertainment.
Baier always impressed me more as a water carrier for the "entertainment" side of the house, even though he worked for the "news" side. I prefer Shep Smith to Baier or Wallace. I sometimes wonder what Wallace's father thinks of him working for Faux News. Smith is the only one I would tend to believe prior to checking with other non-Fox sources. Even he is corrupted sometimes by the company he keeps. The fact that Baier and Wallace are "rebelling" speaks volumes. Doesn't take a genius to realize the fact that the emperor having no cloths will at some point come home to roost. The "news" side of the house is right to be concerned.
Hate to rain on C&S's parade, but Carter is a problem as a reporter(although very cute). I can see why other "newsmen" would have a problem with her. Her research is generally (not always) pretty thin. Her signature award Sigma Delta Chi has been awarded to lots of journalists, 6.5% of those who apply for the award (that's right you have to personally apply - it is not a nominated award) are awarded. It is not a Murrow. She is a run of the mill reporter in this day and age of the dumbing down of America (the World).

I find that most of what she writes is commentary on what others are saying...has she ever broken a real story.

Sean Hannity: Sources say William Barr may have inspector general FISA abuse report
https://youtu.be/zmS-w43O2Cw
Sources? The same unnamed sources they continue to complain about from the "MSM"...Pulitzer is right around the corner.

So many predictions, so little factsLast month Hannity said his sources told him the inspector general investigation was "done and it's devastating."
At the time, Fox News legal analyst Gregg Jarrett said the people "likely" in legal jeopardy are former FBI Director James Comey, former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, former FBI General Counsel James Baker, former FBI special agent Peter Strzok, former FBI lawyer Lisa Page, "maybe" former CIA Director John Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, and "certainly" Christopher Steele and Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson.

And the "story" is nowhere to be found on FoxNews, either. Wow. That's quite a conspiracy you have on your hands.

You haven't seen Clapper, Brennan, Comey (via Tweets), McCabe & Baker on sympathetic cable tv ?

Wanna lay a bet? If any of those chaps are indicted? CNBC, CNN, Fox, and all the rest will be all over it. Steak dinner. Your choice of salad dressing.
And there goes your theory that a story is being buried.
You want the media to report that Sean Hannity said something? Really?

Re: The Fourth Estate and Politics
The other channels aren't reporting. They're just playing Fox News clips.
I've already said that it's quite possible that no one will be indicted.
I just want to learn who did what & hear them explain their actions.
It's almost impossible to catch a leaker & only a crime if it's classified info.
It's amusing hearing an uneasy MSM make the case why Assange should be protected like a journalist.

Re: The Fourth Estate and Politics
Again, why would anyone write a story saying that a report "might" come out? Why not, you know, wait for the report to come out?
It is.
Very little chance of that happening.
Right up there with allowing the people's representatives to question Mueller. It's laughable that we're not doing that, and going over that report.
These people work for us, the people. We lost that thread over the last 20 years..

'GET RID OF THEM': DONALD TRUMP AND VLADIMIR PUTIN BOND OVER DISLIKE OF JOURNALISTS AND 'FAKE NEWS'
Trump says he wants to "get rid of [journalists]" - exactly one year after the Annapolis Gazette shooting.
No matter how serious he was, no one should be supporting this kind of stuff in America. Please write your representatives about it.

Re: The Fourth Estate and Politics
This little clip really points out the hypocrisy that the media uses to feed we the sheep. In the past week, this was exactly what the left was doing vs. Trump.
The media seems to be nothing more than "fluffers" to get us all spun up.

It's actually quite illuminating. Or is that your point?
Are you saying that the MSM's pundits who have been critiquing Trump's "diplomacy" with various foreign dictators are disingenuous?
Most of what I've heard on the primary such outlets has been critiquing that there's simply no substance to the 'diplomacy', that it's chaotic and non-strategic. Some go further in pointing out that the fawning support of Trump in this arena on the hard right is so baldfacedly hypocritical that it borders on the absurd.
Much of what I've also heard from the pundits and left-leaning guests has been that they're quite in favor of diplomacy, of 'talking' with foreign adversaries. But they don't believe diplomacy should be about photo ops for dictators, much less for domestic politics in the US. Substance is what matters.
That doesn't sound hypocritical or disingenuous to me.

Yes that is my point in red. I was openly admitting that BOTH SIDES DO THE SAME THING and the left is currently doing the same --> Trump in this instance. But as expected, because you have a complete disdain for Trump, your reply is written with precision to be absolutely certain to justify their (the MSM) behavior towards Trump without acknowledging fault or bias on their part.MDlaxfan76 wrote: ↑Thu Jul 04, 2019 10:29 amYou're posting a clip from a left wing blog most of us have never heard of (not MSM) that quite accurately exposes the Fox News gross hypocrisy???youthathletics wrote: ↑Thu Jul 04, 2019 9:07 am This little clip really points out the hypocrisy that the media uses to feed we the sheep.

As a human being, he is close to being the lowest of the low.
Not Charlie Manson-level, but pretty darn reprehensible.
But I was simply reporting that I see an actual difference in the MSM pundits' critique of Trump's 'diplomacy', a nuance that you appear to have missed, relative to the hypocrisy on Fox.
They may be both fruit, but it's apples and oranges.
Absolutely the MSM have a different lens, a 'bias' to be critical of Trump rather than congratulatory. And many of those pundits gave Obama more of a pass, were more likely to defend his actions and statements. Then again, Obama was far more restrained in his demeanor, and whether he was being truthful in his statements was far less in question, regardless of one's views of his policies.
Truth being a core value of a free press. That matters.
Again, I'm simply reporting that the MSM's pundits' and guests' critique is on the substance, not that there's 'diplomacy' at all. The critique of Obama was that there'd be any attempt at all.
IMO, plenty of legit areas to critique Obama foreign policy choices...on the substance. But at least there was substance!
But again, it's an apples and oranges comparison.
