Sorry, I didn't read it well.

I obviously took it incorrectly. He really does align with trump's do nothing approach.

I am hopefully for fusion or more nuclear.
I got off track on the subsidies point. My thinking is that wind and solar may be past the tipping point and not really need the subsidies, I guess his point was more they can't survive without them.

Thanks for sticking with me. 😁

I am not very knowledgeable on this subject But I think the unique tax laws for Oil Exploraton have been essentially a multigazzillion dollar "subsidy" for OIL/Gas-for decades and decades??????

That AND our policing the Persian Gulf and Middle East for decades.

This would get Kilmeade immediately fired at any legitimate news organization

Keeping in mind that according to our board MAGAs, MSNBC and Fox are just the same...

I look forward to ram, callatory, and other bosiding MAGAs coming here to express their shock and outage and to call on Fox to fire Kilmeade with a network apology to the public.

Is that the type of thing you can actually walk back? Seems like he crossed the rubicon with that one.

Also, with all the statements people make that cause them to lose jobs, how does a TV personality keep a job after saying something like that … on their TV show?

Remember Matt Dowd being fired by MSNBC for saying that Kirk's hate speech may have fueled the violence that claimed his life ?

good times...

Because Faux “news” isn’t a news organization. It’s entertainment for people whose parents are related.

Lol. They won’t. They already know that their bosides claim is a running joke. They’re fine with it.
 
I am sure Fox demanded this limp apology to gesture at clean hands while they run 24/7 coverage of ordinary Americans who should lose their jobs for exercise of free speech, be it the audacity of resisting the canonization of Saint Charlie or more repugnant celebrations of Kirk’s murder.

I very much doubt they will support sparing any of their targets of anti-CK statements when/if those targets offer a similarly tepid or even genuinely robust apology.

Calla, to his credit, has been very critical of the right wing’s speech regarding Kirk. I know Kilmeade’s comment was about the guy in Charlotte, but maybe there’s some hope that the right has gone SO far over the line that even some dyed in the wool MAGAs are getting uncomfortable with it.

Fox News has no rubicon besides what costs them in a liable suit. "The homeless" can't sue so....

I have not seen Calla's critique regarding Kirk's hate speech which has inspired tens of thousands of young white males to hate the other.

If he has, then good for him and I hope he will follow up with a critique of Fox News for platforming Kirk' s hate speech .

Meantime I'm hoping he will come here and condemn Killmeade's solution to the mentally ill and homeless crisis. During that interview even the guest only advocated throwing the homeless and mentally ill in jail.

So my question to Calla is, should Kilmeade be fired today, and should the Fox network issue a public apology for that disturbing interview and the tacit approval of Kilmeade's co-hosts ?

I hope he will weigh in on this thread...but I'm not holding my breath.

ETA : I see you are engaged with Calla and other board members on another thread about what Dems need to do to save our country. I like this engagement because it is civil and a rational discussion/debate between liberals and conservatives. We need more of that.
So I'm guessing he may not have time to visit this thread.
