(194 posts)propaganda network. He invariably points to one or two reasonable hosts, guests etc as "proof" that FoxNews is fair and balanced. However, what Trump and FoxNews do that my brother actually loves most is seeing Democrats "exposed" by being given the nastiest treatment possible.
Guthrie enabled NBC to perpetrate an attack on American democracy by rewarding Trump for his refusal to accept the decision of our independent Electoral Commission to hold a safe virtual town hall debate. For the past 30 years, Commission's been chaired by a Republican, yet Trump is the first candidate who's ever childishly dodged a debate. NBC and Guthrie ignored the pleading of 100 colleagues for the time to be changed, which would at least have allowed many more voters to view Biden's town hall and contrast the two candidates.
Yes, Guthrie gave Trump a tough time, but he still had a successful night in terms of spewing the usual lies, including promotion of conspiracy propaganda with his giving a nod and wink to Qanon. That folks on this thread have tunnel vision about Guthrie's being tough on Trump rather than her and NBC's egregiously dangerous reward to Trump has opened my eyes. Don't bother to rubbish this post because I won't read it. Moreover, this is my DU 162nd reply and, saddened to say, the last instance I'll be writing on DU.
Best of luck to you all. Stay safe.
