If those channels were forced to tell the truth, they would have nothing to say.

As long as you bill it as pure fiction I think you’re in the clear.

Imagine a day where politicians and journalists only spoke the truth…..nope…I can’t see it happening….no way….

PURE FICTION!! That will never happen in the REAL WORLD!!

The money changers are not paying these guys to tell the truth, they’re paid to spin a story, to twist the truth into a mobius strip, where the line that separates truth from fiction is unrecognizable. Tell the truth, you’ll earn minimum wage. Tell stories that stretch the truth beyond reality to mythical realms and you’ll earn your weight in gold. Ask Rush Limbaugh, why he’s paid $84.5 million a year… that’s the price of that oh so sweet propaganda, pure, 100% uncut….

Hope the Dominion employee proceeds with his lawsuits. Enough of lame apologizes once in a while and beg forgiveness until the next time and the next time, etc.

Nothing like turning to the truth to avoid being sued into oblivion.

However, as Fox lawyers have kept insisting (and even a judge agreed), Fox is not news. No reasonable person turns to Fox expecting to get news. Fox is there for entertainment purposes only.

I believe they need to run a disclaimer on all their shows stating exactly that. Any resemblance to actual events is coincidence.

Well, kidding or not, something along those lines did just happen.

See the Forbes website for an article with this headline…

Fox News, Newsmax Walk Back Election Fraud Claims After Voting Machine Manufacturer Threatens Legal Action

I’d like to hope that more of this will happen in the future.

People are going to have to start suing these liars to stop them

wait, there are no chocolate cows…?

P.T. Barnum would be so pleased. “This way to the Egress. . . .”

As an admin on four Facebook pages, I’m tasked with vetting page applicants. This typical morning a man was asking for membership in a veterans’ group. Reviewing his page, within his three most recent posts one cited the physician who had an allergic reaction to the COVID vaccine, and built it into a diatribe against vaccination. Another promoted ‘evidence’ that the recent terror attack damage was due to a missile.

We live in an America so shot through with utter ignorance and gullibility that our very survival as a nation is in danger. (I denied his request. Such people are invariably jerks who ignore group rules and simply seek to promote this sort of nonsense.)

It’s a sad day when professional wrestling admits that it is sport’s entertainment and yet Fox is still claiming it is a news channel.

And remember… only people who are suffering from Herd Stupidity believe in Herd Immunity!

That’s why so many trumpbots believe in it!

Reality is for people who don’t vote the straight Nazi ticket.

Too bad it takes the threat of a libel lawsuit to get folk minding what they say.. Sadly it takes big players to threaten, the little guy doesn’t have a chance.

What was considered extremist in the 60’s would be mainstream now. Cultural and political views have slowly drifted further to the left and the right. In the center you have a large number of confused people that are looking for a voice.

Ultra far right-wing nut job media is just BS masquerading as journalism for the clinically ignorant.

In whose lifetime will this happen?

Well, now you have destroyed my day. I could have sworn chocolate milk came from black cows or chocolate cows.

Nashville bombing, at AT&T building, Dominion rumor, looks like a Trumper did it.

And Jade Helm was fake news from the get-go, too. We’re not really sorry about that, but just to get it on record before we appear in court.

I believe the operative word in many of these comments regarding those who believe Fox news et al is "reasonable ".

One problem is that if a “trusted” right wing news source did say these things, their listeners would believe them, but it wouldn’t override the false information. Both would exist as true in their minds.You could ask them “Do you believe X” and they will say no. But in a conversation they will try to rebut a point with “What about X?” because it’s still rattling around in their heads.

Republican-turned Democrat and senior advisor to the Lincoln Project, Kurt Bardella: "When you work in politics, your party is your team and your career. No one goes into politics without loving that life. If anyone thinks it is easy to casually discard all that because it is “the right thing to do,” you honestly have no idea what doing so really means.That’s why when Trump took office, many in Republican circles clung to the belief that he could be steered or managed. That despite the inflammatory words and actions that littered the campaign, the adults in the room would be able to contain Trump and preserve the political goals of the Republican Party.I went through that very cycle when I made the decision in 2017 to leave the GOP. In doing so, I had to accept that I might not work in professional politics ever again. Back then, there was no Lincoln Project and nowhere for a former Republican-turned-Democrat to land.Three years later, the situation in our country is even more dire. Republican leaders refuse to stand up to Trump even now, and by staying silent, are actively aiding and abetting his deranged plot to steal the election and undermine the will of the people.[…] In the American two-party system, it means joining the other side — the Democrats. Steve Schmidt, Lincoln Project co-founder and John McCain’s campaign manager in 2008, explained why in a recent interview. “At the end of the day, there’s now one pro-democracy political party in the United States of America and that’s the Democratic Party,” he said. “And I am a member of that party because of that. I’m a single-issue voter. I believe in American democracy.”At the start of the Trump presidency, anti-Trumpers who identified as Republicans stayed with the team hoping that their policy positions would still form the basis of a Republican agenda. That experiment is over.

Allegedly.

Growing up in IL, on a hot day I loved a good Black Cow (root beer float). Now that my kids are in WI, I’ve grown to prefer a Spotted Cow (New Glarus craft beer sold only in WI).

What next? Chocolate frogs don’t come from chocolate tadpoles? Come on……fake nooz!

Trump FINALLY signs Relief Bill . . .on $600 stimulus checks. Senate to vote on larger amount about Tuesday. Let’s see what the GOP will do . . . . grow spines ?

I used to believe only half of what I heard or read. Now I only believe 1/4 of what I hear or read.
