Fox news is state run tv, right?

[QUOTE=PaulS;1165204 If someone on CNN asked Comey if those criticizing hillary should be shut down, so what? Anyone can ask any quesiton they want.

Now you're doing what the liars do. I never ever said she can't ask whatever she wants. But if she asks if Hilary critics should be silenced by the FBI, while I would never say she can't ask that question, it's also obvious that her asking that question means that she thinks the DOJ should be in the business of helping democrats get elected. There's some evidence to suggest the DOJ engaged in exactly that purpose.

How did CNN know to be at Roger Stones house at 5:30 in the morning, the day he got arrested? No one else was there at that hour. I'm supposed to not conclude, that the DOJ tipped off CNN, to make the Trump administration look bad on TV?

I'm not saying Fox isn't biased, of course they are. But they are ONE station, that on a good night, gets 1% of the population watching. Everyone else is watching news that just as biased in the other direction (far more biased in my opinion, as the other networks have no one like Tucker Carlson or Brett Baier or Chris Wallace).

How could the FBI silence anyone (other than the obvious stuff like yelling fire in a movie)?

I've agreed that there are some anchors on fox that will crit. trump more than cnn anchors crit. Obama but I think the praise for Trump is more than the praise for obama was plus there seems to be more behind the scenes interaction w/fox.

Sorry - got a lot of work to do today.

"Other than seeing what that thread was about I haven't opened since it was started so I don't know the context. How could the FBI silence anyone (other than the obvious stuff like yelling fire in a movie)?"

The CNN anchor was implying that criticizing Hilary, is the equivalent of yelling fire, and should possibly therefore be subject to criminal arrest.

Have a good one, and a good weekend.

You really are indoctrinated and a true believer. She was interviewing James Comey, who was head of the FBI. Many people have watched the rallies and seen Trump toe the incitement line, winding up his crowd. You find it acceptable behavior, others do not.
She asked this question as a good interviewer would, knowing the answer and getting the correct expert opinion.
“Of course, ‘Lock her up’ was a feature of the 2016 Trump campaign. Do you in, retrospect, wish that people like yourself, the head of the FBI, the people in charge of law and order, had shut down that language, that it was dangerous potentially, that it could have created violence, that it kind of is hate speech?"

There's some evidence to suggest the DOJ engaged in exactly that purpose.
I suppose that's why Comey made his announcement about Clinton's emails days prior to the election and did not spill the beans on the Trump Russia investigation. Sure sign of a concerted political campaign.

How did CNN know to be at Roger Stones house at 5:30 in the morning, the day he got arrested? No one else was there at that hour. I'm supposed to not conclude, that the DOJ tipped off CNN, to make the Trump administration look bad on TV?
Only if you are falling in line with what Roger Stone wants you to believe, what do you think reporters do, sit around waiting so that they are last on the story? Everyone knew that the grand jury was up to something and there were a limited number of people they were interested in. Raid timing was typical FBI. Pretty likely they had teams at Corsi's, Don Jr's and other candidates.

What does 1% refer to?
Typical primetime Fox viewership is 85% of CNN and MSNBC combined.
Isn't Tucker the guy who's scared that women will make him wear glasses? It's time Tucker came out.

Well Pete, in typical fashion, you completely ignored the question in the original post about Foxnews' willingness to let their enormously popular, 8PM host, attack Trump without mercy, and he did it articulately and rationally.

"that women will make him wear glasses? "

Ah. You know Tucker is more honest than you are, and you can't admit it, so you attack him personally. Also in typical fashion.

Even though you ignored my point, I'll address yours...

"What does 1% refer to?"

On a given night, around 3-4 million people watch Fox. The US population is around 325 million. So only around 1% of the US population watches Fox in primetime, the other 99% don't watch Fox, yet liberals and democrats can't stop obsessing over Fox.

Tucker attacks plenty of people, personally as do you

Putting it as 99% don't watch State TV, therefor they are watching elsewhere is untrue and misleading.

the fact is, 99% don’t watch foxnews, and are therefore unimpacted by any evil you claim is taking place there. that’s not untrue, it’s irrefutable fact. And i think the ratings at fox are more than 100% of cnn and
msnbc combined. and the Mueller hysteria was a disaster for CNN and MSNBC this far.

I'm trying to follow your logic and irrefutable or perhaps alternative facts.
You are worried that somehow CNN and MSNBC are spreading news that FOX is evil and that is a big problem, but Fox is bigger than both of them combined and nobody watches CNN and MSNBC because of the Mueller investigation, that you claim was a disaster for them.
(Hint, nobody has seen it yet, the Republican Mueller and his team of prosecutors didn't leak, but Trump blatting incessantly about it for the past two years has certainly done great things for the media)
And almost nobody (1% of the population) watches FOX, but you are really worried about what the CNN and MSNBC (whom even less than 1% of the population watch) say about Don the Con.

fox is bigger than cnn and msnbc. it’s not bigger when you add in abc, nbc, cbs, print media, google, and academia.

fox news is a speck on the sea of media and influence. but it’s a speck that doesn’t always conform to liberalism, andnin the true spirit of liberal tolerance, it must therefore be crushed.
