I know Rachel has hit a few bumps in the road, but you can do worse than getting information from a Rhodes Scholar. Scores of the elderly and mentally impaired youth rely on Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Matt Drudge for their information. Regardless of how they candy coat it in their bios, Rush and Sean were flunk outs and Drudge barely cleared high school. All three, however, are entrepreneurs in that they knew they could make millions peddling hog slop to millions of ignoramuses starving to lap it up.
They are all peddling the garbage of a different stench. Only Rachel has the highest academic credentials. She's a partisan hack who has "hit a few bumps" as in goes into complete meltdown mode.

You don't see it this way because you identify with some portion of Rachel's garbage.

I do respect Chris Wallace because he does seem to break the balls of both sides. I also thought he was the fairest debate moderator. I have a hard time believing that he is very well thought of by the mom and pop Fox News base.
Wallace is the skinniest kid at fat camp. Yes, he dishonestly busts the balls of people on both sides of the political spectrum. If he weren't at Fox, he'd blend in

I saw good old Bill Clinton destroy this guy's agenda in a long interview on Fox years ago. His agenda is to "get you" so as to come off as the wise, truth seeker. Spare me that guy.

I disapprove of anything Rachel, or anyone else says that is demonstrably false, misleading or unfair.

It seems like there are exactly two reporters at Fox News with actual journalistic standards: Wallace and Shep Smith. That's about it.

Would you disapprove of someone falsely claiming 1% of abortions are third trimester in order to gaslight people?

I looked at the Wa Po source again. It's post 21 week abortions at 1.3%. My mistake

I assume you still have no defense of your ambivalence towards late-term abortions, nor do you have a comment on the 'bodily autonomy' trope, but would rather obfuscate over a peripheral matter to the discussion?

I also thought you were taking your toys and going home.

Aren't those the only reporters that get regular TV time? The rest are pundits. They're not journalists.

Then w t f are you talking about "journalistic integrity"

The punditry and meta-analysis is what draws ratings, I get it. I don't begrudge the broadcast networks for doing it (it's really our fault). I just think they should stop acting perplexed and offended when they're blasted as if they're doing noble work as "truth seekers".

Just because I refuse to indulge you doesn't mean I can't call you out for a material misstatement of fact.

But hey, look on the bright side, your audition to join the trump administration as Steven Miller's vice minister of propaganda is going great.

What is the equivalent of dailykos on the right? You know, right wingers sharing thoughts and ideas on a front page of a blog instead of top down information being blogged out?
What are these thoughts and ideas are you speaking of?

Fox News is not more extreme to the right than MSNBC or CNN are to the left. I know Yogi (who is so effing smart) and Vanessa Otero think so.but, then again, who the hell are they?

LMAO. Indulging me would be to stop asserting logical fallacies as you demonize others for pointing it out, or simply disagreeing with you.

I'm merely stating you did not acknowledge nor refute the argument made in response to you. If you had stayed true to yourself and "not engaging this topic further" I wouldn't have had to address your obfuscation of the issue.

There are certain buzzwords that once they get used, I know I don't have to pay attention to that person anymore. That's one of them.

Please don't euthanize me!

You're not triggered, yet so many of your posts are ad hominem, hostile, irrelevant, obsessive and petulant (you and others have this tedious tendency to address posters you don't like indirectly - weak). Maybe that's just who you are -- insufferable? I don't know anybody like that, so I assume it's a deviation from your normality.

The channel is literally called "Fox News." I'm not the one who tried to claim they were a news organization.

Guy complains nonstop about being personally attacked while personally attacking people. Maybe he's already part of the Trump admin? Or possibly the return of CalBear93. Where's he been?

Don't overcomplicate it. I just think you have nothing of value to say on any subject.

Complain? No, I'm pointing out your hypocrisy. You wouldn't instigate attacks if you had something substantive to add.

That's rich, coming from you.

I mean, all the weak moralizing and hand-wringing about character and civility in politicians (yes, politicians lol) blah blah blah and then to abide by completely different principles on this board -- it's fascinating to observe.

You tell us to try grappling with facts then you call Vox hard-hard left with incendiary titles. However the graph you've included has Vox as Skews Left but not the further left Hyper Partisan Left or Most Extreme Left. Maybe you should grapple with your graph a bit more.
Um, maybe you should go read Vox. Their graph placement is passable because, as I noted, they do have GREAT pieces independent of ideology, even though Vox is very up front about its editorial motives.

The abortion talk must have triggered you.
I've read Vox numerous times though it's not somewhere I go regularly. Mostly when someone links a story from there. I'm just pointing out that you don't seem to have interpreted your own chart accurately.

As for abortion, how did that get into this discussion? I don't believe I've ever discussed abortion on BI. Do you get whiplash from moving the goalposts that far that suddenly?
My favorite school days… “There is no substitute.”

After all this back and forth, I have just one question for GB4Life:

Are you seriously going to vote for trump, again?

Your answer to that should end all other debate and arguing.

Barr had been kicking back and having a retirement eat off on his own already before watching trump and saying, "I can still play!"

Seriously, if he hadn't already been AG, how many would be asking, completely perplexed, who the F this dumbf--- tool named William Barr is?
