I knew Sam before he opened Trolls so I went some. Never was a regular except when the dart league was playing there for a while.

Sam gave me credit in I would sign a check and he kept a running tab on the back of the check and I would come by on payday and zero it out. If I didn't he'd write the amount on the back and cash it! Sort of my first creditor!
 
Not that there isn't already a mountain of evidence over the last 30 years to this effect, but if this doesn't prove that Fox News/Fox Business/Newscorp is an unabashed propaganda arm of the Republican party / quasi-state media when a Pub is president, I don't know what does.

This could also go under the "if Joe Biden did this, holy fucking shit - Fox News & Fox Business would air commercial-free and uninterrupted hammering Biden repeatedly until the MAGA base rose up and descended upon Washington and burned it to the ground" thread.

Something about "do not believe what your eyes and ears tell you is true, only what the Party tells you..."
It's fucking happening, in real life.
 
Broken record here, but how much more proof do you need that Fox/Fox Bid'ness/Newscorp is the official and preferred propaganda outlet of the Republican party?

The comically absurd JCD'ing by multiple Fox hosts of Trump's tariffs and the effect they are having on the economy alone is more than sufficient proof.

If Sleepy Joe Biden Crime Family or the Kenyan-born Mooslim or the negress with the psychotic laugh who is for they/them and not you (MAGA's terms nyc; not mine) did any of this shit? OMFG....

It's not hard to read her face during the last few sentences... She doesn't even believe in what she's saying. She knows we're all fucked. The fact that she just keeps playing the game should tell every Fox viewer what she values more than her dignity or her country or her own viewers: her paycheck. She's rotten to the core.
 
Isn't it so beautiful to see the Emperor wearing his new clothes ?

'My god': Observers appalled as White House presser hijacked by praise of Trump fitness

Friday's White House press briefing took a bizarre turn when Cara Castronuova, a right-wing former boxing champion, asked press secretary Karoline Leavitt about why President Donald Trump purportedly looks so attractive all of a sudden — spawning mockery and revulsion from commenters on social...

Not sure where to put this but I guess it fits alright here. Anyway, it's pretty old (2015-2016) and things have got much worse since then but I just discovered it and thought I'd share for anyone that hasn't seen it. I thought it did a good job of explaining the roots of right wing media and how it operates. I can definitely relate to a lot of what happened to her dad in the movie.

I found it on Amazon Prime Video but it might be on other platforms.

Yeah at some point you would think the Fox News audience would get upset that people like Pirro, Hannity, Carlson, etc have gotten disgustingly rich by stuffing their viewers chock full of lies and anger. But that would require the Fox News audience admitting that all their liberal kids and friends have been right all along, and they got duped, and their egos will never allow them to do that.

Part of the Fox News playbook is to never apologize for anything. Cain is just dutifully doing his lines. The last 30 seconds of that clip are so obviously BS - "President Trump said he would follow the law so you have nothing to worry about" - that I find it hard to believe anyone falls for it. The Trump admin has already admitted they broke the law by sending Abrego Garcia and others to E; Salvador, and say they have no responsibility to fix it. How could anyone possibly have comfort that Trump intends to respect the law when he's been gleefully flouting it since he got back into office?

C'mon man

Even though Trump has been found liable for multiple cases of fraud, liable for sexual assault, and convicted on 34 felony counts doesn't mean he is an "illegal" who has no respect for the law. The fact that I have never seen him sporting a tattoo on his knuckles tells me he is a fine law abiding American who may be the most law abiding president in the history of the United States of America

Karoline Leavitt's special briefing guest dubs Abrego Garcia 'the Maryland Man hoax'

Right-wing influencer Tim Pool asked White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt to criticize the media over the mistaken deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, which he called "the Maryland Man hoax."During Tuesday's White House press briefing, Leavitt revealed she had invited Pool to sit in as...

I find it hard to believe that anyone buys this sort of Pravda-style Kabuki theater. It's still so hilarious the the administration is basically tweeting their way through the scandal, continuing to insist that whatever happens to this guy is OK because he's a real scumbag.

I used to be a Pub and I watched Fox News, but stopped sometime in the Obama administration when their stupid really started showing. Yeah, I don't get it either.
