You stated that I said that you watched Fox when I did not say that.

This is the third or fourth time you have accused me of doing what you did.

Is that you, Hillary?

Then you must be the kind of idiot that loves to listen to Fox top-of-the-hour news cast on the radio.

No, I probably stopped watching or listening to Fox before you did. I stopped watching when Tony Snow died, because he was the only good reporter there. I don't really listen to radio either. I used to watch OANN until DirecTV yanked them off. Had it not been for my wife, I would have cancelled DirecTV.

They will report, emphasize, quote, at length, on some Trump smear/deception —it was, truly, in fact stated by someone, so it was an honest report — but then merely state, briefly, that Trump, or his people, deny it, in a perfunctory, snickering way.

Yes they do, apparently you believe they are good reporters. Because they go beyond the facts to their opinions.

Thanks for driving home my point, even though that was not your intention at all.

Note: This was my original post # 33 back to you:

The bolded text is you, and let's remind everyone you were responding to this statement I made to someone else; Good reporters just report the facts & nothing else. Which means you didn't understand my statement, because you gave an example of what Fox reporters say, and accused me of listening to Fox. I agreed that they do in fact go beyond the facts, to present another fact with a snicker (The snicker is the additional, in case you don't comprehend that fact also). However, the person who reported for WMD, did not add anything other than the facts. Since it was written, not spoken or televised they could have mockingly added the word snicker. But they didn't offer either an excuse or a rebuttal, just the facts of what was said. Which is exactly what a good reporter does.

No, I never said that you said I watch Fox New as you can clearly see above that I said I stopped watching or listening to Fox before you did. Nor did I accuse you of anything. I made a statement about my involvement with Fox News, period. I just made it inclusive that I neither watch nor listen to Fox News, which you wrongly accused me of doing.

Instead of getting defensive, I merely jokingly said apparently you think that is good reporting, that comes from Fox. But subtlety is not within your wheelhouse I guess. I said that because you had proven my point by providing what terrible reporters do, as a rebuttal to my statement to someone other than you what good reporters do.

I guess your reading comprehension is sorely lacking as well.

You are more than welcome to the last word, but I won't respond because this stupid conversation has run the gambit as far as I am concerned.

Have a blessed life.
