Admit it: Fox News has been right all along (WAPO!)
WAPO ^ | 4/15/2019 | Gary Abernathy

Posted on 04/17/2019 7:40:24 PM PDT by bitt

Throughout most of southern Ohio, residents who watch cable news are predominantly glued to one channel: Fox News.

People there don’t watch Fox News to know what to think; they already know what they think, and they avoid news channels that insult their intelligence and core beliefs. Yes, Fox News is an echo chamber for the right, but no more than CNN and MSNBC are for the left, as far as conservatives are concerned. To be fair, when a Democrat is in the White House, the networks switch places, with Fox News criticizing every move, and MSNBC and CNN defending the Oval Office fortress.

But for now, while partisans on the left may quibble, the fact remains that on the subject of collusion with Russia by President Trump or his campaign, Fox News was right and the others were wrong. For at least two years, MSNBC and CNN devoted hour upon hour, day after day, to promoting the narrative that Trump colluded with the Russians, and that special counsel Robert S. Mueller III was going to prove it. That turned out to be wrong.

Fox news is closer but not as close as application of the OT/NT.

Can we start the arrests now? And you know, some people in the media need to be arrested too. This conspiracy is that big.

Wait for it.

The pump is being primed.

Media too.

Spot on.

The left accuses Limbaugh, Hannity, et. al. of telling people what to think. They actually believe conservative talk show hosts TELL PEOPLE WHAT TO THINK. That's why they focus so much on Limbaugh. They believe if they can get rid of Limbaugh the conservative base would crumble without someone giving them talking points.

Nobody tells me what to think. I gravitate to people who think like me and share my views and opinions.

When I listen to Limbaugh he's only saying out loud what I'm already thinking.

They’re not admitting anything. They’re just making a moral equivalency excuse.

Here's a thought I posted elsewhere.

Is that a sign that WaPo/CIA/Derps are trying to "call off the dogs" hoping the Donald won't release his can of whoop-ass on 'em?

this is what is so funny.

I have been trolling liberal commentors on the CBC and PBS websites by pointing out that if they listened to nothing but Hannity and Rush, they would have had a more realistic view of how Mueller would end than by being “informed” by PBS, the NY Times, the CBC, the Toronto Star ...etc

“I’d love to see some of the comments on this piece at the WAPO website.”

waste of time: just the usual cesspool of ignorant, vapid, and hateful paid troll posts that now dominate WaPo articles ...

It did not just turn out to be wrong. It was a dang HOAX!

Lou Dobbs doesn’t waste time like Tucker Carlson, who feeds his ego battling it out with that bald-headed RAT turd Chris Hahn.


Why does Tucker keep inviting that idiot?

It’s only fair that their advertisers money be spent on a bogus persona.

The WP is throwing out a sea anchor in an attempt to protect what little credibility they have left. When the bombshells start dropping and the rest of the media horde are scurrying around like cockroaches, they’ll point to this and what few other articles they have published to “prove” their impartiality.
