Good try, but stories like this in “Chat” are only seen until they scroll down past the bottom of the page.

Of course, as a newbie, you may be restricted to where you can post, and even a 20-year member like me can and has been slapped by mods in the past.

Short version of this story: Fox News is not on the liberal media plantation. Thus, Fox News Bad. And Orange Man Bad. Liberal governors Good. Liberal Media Good.

Fox News personalities have been cheerleading protesters”

NPR. I supposed when you compare FNC to the rest of MSM who dismiss the protesters as a few confederate flag waving Nazis.

Harris started her show with the dire warning from someone that it MAY get worse this fall. I just turned it off. I don’t know what is wrong with these people that want the shut down to go on and on and on. I don’t trust anything they say.

Tucker Carlson, Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Mark Levin, Judge Judy, Jesse Waters, Greg Guttfield, and others, have such huge audiences, they could start their own network or join AONN and bury FNC. Probably wouldn’t make as much money at first, but they would change the lanscape.

In a working paper posted online this week, the researchers concluded that viewers of Fox's Sean Hannity were more likely to have contracted COVID-19 and to have died from it than viewers of his colleague Tucker Carlson. Hannity, one of the president's strongest allies, consistently downplayed the risk of coronavirus until late February, when he started to present it more seriously. Carlson put a spotlight on those perils far earlier.

The author claims the protests were “racially charged” yet offers no evidence and a google search produced no corroboration of his charges...fake news.

“Paul Ryan is on the Fox board, right?”

From his online bio:

“In March 2019, Ryan joined the board of directors of Fox Corporation, the owner of Fox News Channel and the Fox broadcast network”

“Judge Judy” is not on Fox News; Judge Jeanine is.
