Fox’s panel and “entertainment” (Hannity) shows are WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY worse than anything else on other cable news. Worse than Bolt’s show on Ten. Nothing can really compare on other services, until you get to the InfoWars type of online spectacle. The bias is truly strong.
Fox’s news division is fine, though. It skews right, but whatever. I’m a believer in the balance of all things and so forth, so conservatives can have their news skewed to what their interests are. No different than the Guardian AU spending every day since inception writing on refugees. (And I have to admit, I stopped reading the Guardian a year ago because I couldn’t deal with the constant reminder of our treatment of refugees.)
Well, for mine the ABC these days is almost always straight down the middle.
All I can say to those on the right that continue to call it leftist, is that anything is going to be left of where they sit, … and the further out there you are, the more left the centre appears to be.
To me, the simple thing about the ABC staff and its viewers is that they largely dislike the rabid right and sundry other shifty political fixers. Nothing to do with left or right…
UK reporting that Trump might have been considering dropping into one of his Scottish golf courses on a side trip from a meeting in Hamburg and perhaps catching up with May. This would have involved a huge security exercise . Protests were being organised at the golf courses . Would not have been a good look.
What has happened in the past 5 minutes in the US Senate is an incredible con. Elected by a populist wave apparently to “stop this American carnage” and focus on the “forgotten man” the republicans have passed a tax bill that delivers incredible wealth to their millionaire donors while gutting the working class.
Congratulations America (or, at least the 24% who voted to #MAGA). Your deliverance is here.
And Betsy de Vos college continues to get excise exemption for those colleges with large endowments. She noted that the college does not get federal funding. If it did, it would be subject to anti-discrimination law.
