For the last hour, they have been live from Austin, TX.
No doubt, that is a big story. Maybe even bigger than Stormy Daniels and the Putin phone call story?
But, it is not the only story.
Unfortunately, it is the only story that FOX is choosing to show their viewers this morning.
Sometimes, we need to monitor these propagandists to understand them better and to expose them whenever possible. We should hold all the networks to a similar standard.
To what extent will FOX go to protect Donald J Trump?

(31,464 posts)Perhaps the biggest issue when dealing with Fox Watchers. They don't know what they don't know because when serious news is breaking that sheds more negative light on the criminal machinations of Dear Leader, Fox runs stories about puppies being rescued from a well, or Crooked Hillary's uranium deal. Fox viewers then believe that everyone else is just making stuff up because their "trusted" news source didn't even mention it.

(16,423 posts)90% of their reporting on the US is negative, 90% of their reporting on Russia is positive.
An Amnesty International report accusing both the syrian government and syrian rebels of torture gets selectively quoted to only accuse the rebels.
A financial watchdog report accusing the US of being too nice to tax-evaders compared to Russia, omits that Russia is worse than the Ukraine, while other reporting routinely bashes the Ukraine as corrupt.
Important facts get mentioned in passing in one sentence in the middle of an article.
Three critical tweets get hyped into a "tweet shitstorm".
And the funny thing is that "Russia Today" barely has any news about Russia at all.
