I very much agree with Mr. Gorrell about this. The fact that different segments of society get COMPLETELY different versions of the news is really bad for this country. And I am not saying MSNBC is the whole truth and Fox is all lies and propaganda. I do believe MSNBC is more accurate but those of us on the left who say that MSNBC is the entire truth are mistaken and misguided too. Somehow we all need to get a more well-rounded news analysis. Don’t get me wrong. I dislike Trump as much as anyone. But relying completely on MSNBC for accuracy is mistaken. (I can already hear the cries of outrage from my friends on the left.)
And so we get this Pontius Pilate question, “What is truth?” Despite hundreds of shades of grey, there is finally defined black and white. No news affiliate will have the absolute truth. But I think media outlets like MSNBC tell good-intentioned reports of the truth, while several FOX political pundits tell well-intentioned half-lies. And what is the road to Hell paved with? (I remember a “New Yorker” cartoon that showed a demon driving a delivery van with the words, “Good Intentions Asphalt Company.”)
That happens when you watch Faux News, which endeavors to turn you head 180 degrees to the right from its straight ahead position you got from watching MSNBC.
A new Fox News poll out this morning shows 51% of Americans support Trump’s impeachment and removal from office. Fox News! Donny will be just thrilled to hear about this on “Fox and Friends”.
It’s been since his campaign, 24/7/365! Not to mention the evil tweets! How much can people take from the mental moron? Fo stress free news, I go to PBS! No sensationalism! I can’t watch other channels…it’s always BREAKING NEWS! Sick of it.
Fox has gone from a conservative prospective to a Trump propaganda machine. Just like the rest of the republicans, they’ve left the party and all that it stood for in the past.

Fox “News” is usually Trump’s teleprompter.

Going to the Fox news Entertainment Channel was his first mistake. Hint It’s not news.

I’m surprised the Trump administration hasn’t created their own Ministry of Truth ….

Fox is way off base, they don’t believe in reality anymore than Dictator Donald does.
Only 51% in the Fox poll thought Donald should be removed from office.

Gorrell is ‘correct’ in that #45 is able to “control” news coverage by his outrageous actions!

Paul Ryan claims that he is going to use his position on the Fox board to “do something” about Trump. I’m not holding my breath.

This guy is a fraud looking for a court settlement as he did not have the neck brace on the full time.

If they testified in public, you’d be crying about that. Hypocrite snowflake!
