I have a question for Fox News. You argued during impeachment that a president can do what he wants.

Including bribing a foreign government to investigate his political rival. Using your logic, wasn't President Obama well within his rights to unmask Flynn?

This is Fox...rights are for whites in their twisted little world view distortion field.

ANYTHING Trump does is A-OK awesome....EVERYTHING Obama did was trying to destroy America...or so I have been told by bearded asshats in reed caps, overalls and stained white tees...

"And we aren't talking about 'Democrat.' Have you never watched us? Like, how we 'covered' the murder of Trayvon Martin by digging through his past to provide what we considered an excuse for his killer?"

You are applying both logic AND recent history AND common morals. They’ll have none of that at Fox News.

I’ve actually been watching a bit of that. Wednesday they were in full la la land parade mode. It was all victory everywhere. Since then as I’ve flipped over there I see it’s more now about how no one else is covering it. This morning on F&F the theme was “The President SAID this was the biggest political scandal ever but none of the cable or networks are covering it. How can they ignore what the President said was the biggest political scandal ever?” That’s almost a direct quote from the Douchey guy.

Do not go out of their way to make comparisons that are contrary to their message. Truth and logic have no place in pushing an agenda. Tell a lie, make it a big lie, repeat it over and over and it will be accepted as the truth; it is not a novel concept.

What is a novel concept is referring to Fox as journalism and news.
