Pure Evil -- How Fox News Treats Donald Trump

Fox News Jessie Waters Primetime 11/27/2023 ^ | 11/27/2023 | BroJoeK

"I see a little bit of reciprocation.
After all, Trump refused to appear in any of Fox’s debates."

Sure, I "get" that, but Jessie Waters has been entirely Trump-friendly, which is why I can enjoy watching him.

And this was sneaky passive-aggressive BS which reeks of evil behind-the-scenes manipulators doing dirty deeds anonymously.

I don't like it.

If I were a Fox producer, I’d be a little pissed at Trump too.

So you are a passive aggressive nutless twit too?

[Baldwin77]

Me too. Haven’t watched FNC since election night 2020.

What is Judge Jeannine doing regarding Trump? Anyone know? She used to be a big supporter.

[Baldwin77]

Watching Gunsmoke reruns would be a better viewing choice than Fox.

"I’m waiting for Neil Cavuto to get sued into oblivion for his rampant and immediate attack of Trump when he came out for Ivermectin.
Said it would kill people!
Think of all the people who might of been saved had they not listened to that guy."

I can't watch Cavuto. He is another sneaky passive-aggressive SOB who drives me nuts with his... I can't name it, it's not really "fair and balanced", it's something more insidious and drives me crazy, have to turn it off.

Who else did that, really big time? Chris Wallace.

"Fox is Regime Corporate Media, and it has an important containment and gatekeeping role."

I'm not complaining about Fox's corporate outlook, they are a private company, entitled to whatever views they like.

I am complaining about this passive-aggressive attack on Trump, sneaky back-door BS I don't see very often but notice like h*ll when it happens.

[BroJoeK]

"I stopped watching fox news when they helped steal the 2020 election."

Yeah... I don't know how fair that is.
My AI query produced this result:

"Fox News agreed to pay more than $787 million to Dominion Voting Systems after the sides hammered out a last-minute settlement Tuesday in the explosive defamation case launched against the right-wing network.
Fox acknowledged the court’s rulings finding “certain claims about Dominion to be false” 1.
This is the largest known media settlement for defamation in U.S. history 2.

"Please note that the settlement did not require Fox News to apologize 2."
report dated April 18, 2023

If Fox helped steal the 2020 election and then paid $787 million for reporting on charges against Dominion, how does that even work?

[BroJoeK]

"He did a decent piece on the Trump ball game visit,"

That's exactly what I'm complaining about.

Half-way through the piece, just as they got to the part where Trump walks on field at the Palmetto Bowl in SC, they cut away to commercials, returning only after Trump was off-screen and Waters & Hurt were discussing it.

Sneaky, passive-aggressive SOB cr*p, I don't like it, and who did that? Waters himself? Fox producers? Some nameless middle executive closer to my home?

Whoever did it, it's just the kind of stuff that drives me nuts -- old man shouts at cloud.

Don't do it again, Fox! {shakes fist at sky}

😫

"What is Judge Jeannine doing regarding Trump? Anyone know? She used to be a big supporter."

There are many Trump-friendly personalities at Fox News, including Judge Jeannine, which is why I can watch them regularly.

There are others in passive-aggressive opposition, including former Bushites like Dana Perino and... Karl Rove.

I can barely tolerate watching such people because I know there are plenty of American conservatives and Republicans who are not so wild about Trump as I am but will need to come onboard the Trump-train for a win in 2024.

So they get their say too, much as I don't like it.

[BroJoeK]

"Yes, it is obvious. Ryano News suks a big one."

They are not all anti-Trump and Jessie Waters is quite Trump-friendly.

This particular incident strikes me as corporate behind-the-scenes passive-aggressive manipulation against Trump which may even have been unintentional from Waters' perspective.

Possibly not everyone saw the same version of this report I saw?

[BlackbirdSST]

So you are a passive aggressive nutless twit too?

LOL. You found one that doesn't realize that Trump is a counter puncher. FauxNews attacks and Trump counters. Period.

[wardaddy]

Really

Paul Ryan and Lachlan run Fox

Anyone surprised

Good catholic Ryan hates Trump

Thinks he’s a borders bigot etc

People who truly think they are conservative cause they are GOPe

Wouldn’t know cultural decline if they were shagging it

[MayflowerMadam]

“How many have noticed how passively aggressive Fox News has become towards Donald Trump?”

Yeah. We noticed that exactly three years ago. And there was nothing “passive” about it.

[BroJoeK]

"Yeah. We noticed that exactly three years ago.
And there was nothing “passive” about it."

Direct opposition to Trump by some Fox personalities I'm OK with, it's part of "fair and balanced" which is what journalism is supposed to be.

Behind-the-scenes passive-aggressive manipulations by faceless executives, such as I saw last night on Jessie Waters Primetime, make me mad as h*ll -- old man yells at cloud. ⛈️

[MayflowerMadam]

Maybe do what we do, i.e., don’t watch Fox. Ever. Haven’t watched since November 2020.

This old lady doesn’t yell at clouds. I just get ulcers. (Yelling at clouds probably is less hazardous to your health, though. I’m glad Omeprazole is so cheap.)

Schiller the sticky fingers bank manager was last nite episode

The actor playing the intellectual bank robber was great

LQ jones was another robber.

The quintessential western character actor

His niece a beautiful southern woman from Lakeland Florida has been a lifelong pal of mine

[DeplorablePaul]

Yes. Fat head Cavuto, who has a damaged immune system from MS, hysterically ranted against HCQ while there was good evidence that it helped relieve the symptoms. Cavuto then caught the Covid and almost died. He credited his vax shots for saving his life. Cavuto is reflexively anti Trump. If Trump is for something, Cavuto is against it.

Currently Trump is revealing that Fox News has no power. Fox thought it would it would be a king maker with their stupid debates. Trump proved them wrong. Fox hates that.

[BroJoeK]

"Maybe do what we do, i.e., don’t watch Fox.
Ever. Haven’t watched since November 2020."

Sure, I understand your feelings here, but Fox News is still the most popular news source that isn't 100% bat-sh*t crazy leftists, and does influence millions of relatively conservative Republican voters.

And Fox has many personalities who are unashamed Trump-friendly, of whom I think Jessie Waters is one.
So, I don't expect to see them stab Trump in the back, and I doubt if Waters himself did this.

"This old lady doesn’t yell at clouds. I just get ulcers."

I suspect that stomach sensitivities go along with being introverted and I've taken acid blockers since around 1975, have never had more serious problems there.

Old man yells at cloud -- I'm so glad I've got Free Republic here to use for yelling at whatever clouds might irritate me today. 😂

[BroJoeK]

"Yes. Fat head Cavuto...
Cavuto is reflexively anti Trump. If Trump is for something, Cavuto is against it."

I suspect you're right about this.

"Fox thought it would it would be a king maker with their stupid debates.
Trump proved them wrong.
Fox hates that."

I'm near certain you are right about that.
For sure they seem to be trying to drum up support for some opposition candidate -- anyone who might turn it into a contest and horse-race they can cover breathlessly.

I'm not certain how much of that is pure anti-Trump and how much is just news media people doing what media people naturally do -- stir up as much controversy as possible to get more viewers.

"Headline: Trump is still winning" -- enough of those will drive any news organization into bankruptcy.
That's why they need controversy and contests.

It's all about their numbers.

I just want them to be out in the open about it, and not do dirty, sneaky, behind-the-scenes passive-aggressive attacks on Trump, such as I saw last night on Waters Primetime.

Fox “News” is nothing but lies, half-truths, and lies through omission by not even covering important stories if they hurt the Elite’s agenda.

Rule #1: The elites want you dead, and Fox works for that every day.
