within 5 hours of him asking russia was working on it and when they gave it to team trump he gladly accepted it.   and never once told any intelligence agency about it even though he had been briefed that russia might try something like that and to contact the FBI if they did.

Is the narrative on Fox beginning to change? This is the second pro-mueller article I've seen this weekend from Fox. To be fair the first was an opinion piece penned by Tom Perez,  but the fact they promoted it at all is interesting to me.

Fox wants ratings, CNN's are falling. They want to take advantage

I heard Lachlan Murdoch, Rupert's kid, wants to try to expand their influence, including trying to create a spinoff Fox network that caters to liberals.

I'm sure it will also be garbage propaganda and I won't watch it. I'm incredibly uncomfortable with these extremely wealthy media moguls creating de-facto monopolies on a lot of our media that they can use to influence political thought. It really, really creeps me out, and the brainwashing effect Fox among others have corrupts our politics, IMO.

It's not so much that I want to police thought. It's that I'm really bothered by small groups of people like the Murdochs installing their chosen narratives on the masses.

Thought portrayed as news should be policed.

Thought portrayed as news should be policed.

By the thought police?

By the thought police?

I stated that pretty badly. It's not merely thought being portrayed as news but lies that are what's really bothersome. But opinion shows/articles shouldn't be presented as news either. It should be clear what they are.

It's hard to prove, but if it can be proven someone is knowingly lying to the public while calling it news and working as a journalist, it should be illegal.

I've heard some speak of reinstating the Fairness Doctrine to cut down on some of the biased junk we hear but I'm not sure how that would work.

HuskerBoard could use a Fairness Doctrine.  <_<

Would you feel better if Trump paid the Russians to compile a dossier about Hilary?

I would actually love to see those dossiers side by side.

Question.

Why do Trump and his supporters conveniently forget who originally paid for the dossier?

It’s called lying. Whether it’s to themselves or others. It’s their forte.

Fox continuing to pivot. I understand they are not to be trusted but this switch is interesting to me considering I was seeing nothing like this on Fox prior to the reports release. Obviously they want ratings, but I feel as if they know the 'no collusion no obstruction' rap will hurt those ratings.
