Sometimes news is newsworthy not because it is particularly revelatory but because it confirms something obvious that lacked confirmation or because it provides something broadly understood with a sense of scale. This certainly applies to the revelation — uncovered by the New York Times’s Jonathan Martin and Alexander Burns and reported by CNN’s Brian Stelter — that President Biden views Rupert Murdoch, founder of Fox News, as “the most dangerous man in the world.”
Obvious in broad strokes but now confirmed and with a sense of scale.
But this top-line assessment of the face most associated with the right-wing cable network misses an important secondary assessment included in the Martin-Burns reporting. Fox News, the president feels, is “one of the most destructive forces in the United States,” as the reporters put it. This is the more important revelation as it recognizes the breadth of Fox News’s influence even beyond the elder Murdoch.
There are four elements outside of Murdoch that make Fox News a uniquely damaging part of the American news landscape: its strength on the political right, the demonstrated way in which it shapes its viewers’ beliefs, its grip on Republican power and the views of its leadership.
Fox News has a unique partisan power In December, The Washington Post and University of Maryland conducted a national poll that included an assessment of where people get their news about politics and government. Among Democrats and Democrat-leaning independents, a variety of sources — CNN, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, NPR, the Times, The Post — were identified as a main source of news by at least 3 in 10. Among Republicans, though, only two were: local television and Fox News.

And which news service provided the Bobolinski interview?
More gaslighting from the gaslight media.
The Washington Post gets their primary ‘news leads’ from democrat war room news packets... Packets that selectively ‘supply ‘news’ from ‘self-serving disgruntled intelligence sources’ with axes to grind... Information all Americans are taxed to pay for that is suppose to protect our country - but is used to ‘pay for play’ with favors from ‘the press’... When the coin of the realm is information that’s the form bribes take... IMHO...
Philip Bump is either aware of the corruption or he’s stupid. And as far as ignoring a ‘mistake’ - maybe Mr Bump could explain the Post sitting on Hunter Biden’s laptop for two years... Along will all other members of the liberal press...

Fox News Is Garbage!
The grifters at Fox News suddenly discover election fraud 16 months too late!

MY TV SCRIPT TODAY:
FOR THE LAST 16 MONTHS THE FAKE CONSERVATIVE GRIFTERS WHO RUN FOX NEWS DEEMED THAT NO ELECTION FRAUD TOOK PLACE IN 2020 AND THEY OUTLAWED ANY DISCUSSION OF THE SUBJECT ON AIR.
THEY DID SO BECAUSE FOX NEWS WAS DEEPLY INVOLVED IN CALLING ARIZONA EARLY AND THROWING THE ELECTION TO JOE BIDEN - AS WE ALL KNOW.
WE DON’T EVEN HAVE TIME TO LIST ALL THE WAYS THAT FOX NEWS BETRAYED THE CONSERVATIVE MOVEMENT IN THE LAST THREE YEARS.
BUT LET’S TRY ANYWAY.
FIRST, FOX NEWS HIRED A DEMOCRAT OPERATIVE NAMED ARNIE MISHKIN TO RUN THEIR 2020 ELECTION DESK. THIS WOULD BE LIKE CNN HIRING KARL ROVE TO RUN THEIR ELECTION COVERAGE. ARNIE MISHKIN DID WHAT HE WAS HIRED TO DO AND PROMPTLY CALLED ARIZONA EARLY FOR BIDEN. HE WAS THEN FIRED AFTER THE ELECTION.
THE PART YOU MIGHT HAVE MISSED IS THAT FOX NEWS HAS HIRED HIM AGAIN TO RUN THEIR COVERAGE FOR THE 2022 MIDTERMS!
THEN FOX CANCELED LOU DOBBS RIGHT AFTER THE 2020 ELECTION BECAUSE DOBBS WOULDN’T STOP TALKING ABOUT ELECTION FRAUD. DOBBS HAD THE HIGHEST RATED SHOW ON THEIR BUSINESS CHANNEL TOO. FOX CANCELED DOBBS SO QUICKLY THAT IT DIDN’T EVEN HAVE A SHOW TO REPLACE HIM WITH READY TO GO!
THEN FOX NEWS BLACKLISTED RUDY GIULIANI FROM THEIR NETWORK BECAUSE GIULIANI WAS ONE OF PRESIDENT TRUMP’S LAWYERS AND HE WAS STILL TALKING ABOUT ELECTION FRAUD TOO.
THEN THE OWNER OF FOX NEWS RUPERT MURDOCH GOT UP AT A FOX SHAREHOLDER MEETING AND TOLD EVERYONE THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP SHOULD STOP TALKING ABOUT ELECTION FRAUD.
THEN JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO FOX NEWS WAS NAMED AS ONE OF THE CORPORATE MEDIA OUTLETS THAT TOOK MONEY FROM THE BIDEN REGIME TO PUSH THE DEADLY COVID VACCINES ON ITS AUDIENCE WITH DISCLOSING TO THE PUBLIC THAT THEY WERE TAKING ANY MONEY AT ALL.
AND THEN JUST A FEW DAYS AGO FOX NEWS HIRED A MAN PRETENDING TO BE A WOMAN TO BE A CONTRIBUTOR. THIS NEW CONTRIBUTOR MADE A NAME FOR HIMSELF BECAUSE AT ONE TIME HE THOUGHT IT WAS A GREAT IDEA TO MARRY INTO THE KARDASHIAN FAMILY.
DOES THAT SOUND CONSERVATIVE TO YOU?
WHICH BRING US TO THIS WEEK. SUDDENLY FOX NEWS HAS STARTED ALLOWING THEIR ANCHORS TO DISCUSS ELECTION FRAUD.
WHY IS THAT? WHAT HAPPENED? WHAT CHANGED?
ONE THING THAT HAS FOX NEWS WORRIED IS A NEW DOCUMENTARY ON THE 2020 STOLEN ELECTION CALLED “RIGGED.” THE FILM WAS PRODUCED BY TRUMP ADVISOR DAVID BOSSIE AND IT COMES OUT TOMORROW.
FOX NEWS WAS WORRIED THAT AFTER THIS NEW DOCUMENTARY COMES OUT IT WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTINUE TO IGNORE THE STOLEN ELECTION. FOX NEWS IS ALSO WORRIED ABOUT THE NEW DETAILS EMERGING FROM GEORGIA AND WISCONSIN THAT WILL MAKE THEIR SILENCE LOOK EVEN MORE FOOLISH.
IN OTHER WORDS: FOX NEWS LOST.
FOX NEWS WANTED TRUMP TO LOSE. THE PEOPLE WHO OWN AND OPERATE FOX ARE ON THE RECORD ADMITTING THIS. THEY COLLABORATED WITH DEMOCRATS TO ELECT BIDEN.
THEN THEY INSULTED THEIR OWN VIEWERS FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS BY CLAIMING ELECTION FRAUD WAS AN ILLUSION.
AND NOW THEY ARE GOING TO COVER ELECTION FRAUD WHILE PRETENDING THAT THEY DIDN’T GASLIGHT YOU FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS.
HOW’S THAT FOR FAIR AND BALANCED?

The View didn’t make the list of unbiased news? What the heck?
At least Jenner is a republican, we as Republicans can have a big tent, as crazy as it seems sometimes.
Except the Compost isn’t unique. It is really just another outlet for the same stuff that comes out of the NYT,CNN, MSNBC, and all the other alphabet networks. Fox is unique because it is the only one to make an attempt to speak to conservatives, and in response conservatives fawn all over it.
Hannity has “left the building.” Something has gone very wrong with him. Sad!
The Washington Compost, accurate name.
Another unique and damaging role is the one the WaPo plays in the American fish wrap and parakeet cage business.

Hannity is rudderless, which is why he doesn't know how to successfully align his show with conservative beliefs. He is tacking towards a political E! or some other shock news to regain some audience share. I think he is pissed that Tucker has buried him, I notice they don't do live handoffs any longer.
If 2-3 million watch FOX primetime out of 75 million Trump voters, i think these people need to do some math. Corporate news viewers of all stripes are a unique breed and willing dupes
From ghoulies and ghosties
And long-leggedy beasties
And things that go (Peter) bump in the night,
Good Lord, deliver us!

I can't tolerate either. I definitely do not think Fox News is conservative. It is infested with Bushies and they have gone as far as hiring Bruce Jenner.
Like the mainstream media, Fox News completely ignores some stories and they are guilty of just regurgitating government propaganda.
Penn is going to Hannity because he knows Hannity is all for nuking Russia.
Penn is going to Hannity to whine for weapons for Zelensky.
Hannity nauseates me. Maybe Lindsay Graham, Mutt Romney and Karl Rove will share a sidebar with him.
In a normal world, tonight’s show would be Hannity jumping the shark.
You are right.
Yes, I noticed this. Tucker buried his show and his favorite guest, Lindsey Graham.
