    and this is what maris61 uses as his source. This isn't news, this isn't entertainment, this is simply a bunch of bull shit. Love the clip of Sarah Palin doing her valley girl impersonation.

    Yes there are many examples, but do you have the context of each message as without it, it's hard to put much weight to it.

    It's an example of media hypocrisy. Too claim that Fox is more hypocritical than other media sources is ridiculous.

    Your post it first, read it second and ask me to explain it to you third? I think you order of operations are off.

    Your example was written by 3 different people. How can it be hypocritical when they are individually written pieces? Im sure there are plenty of actual hypocrisies of various news sources but I haven't seen anything as blatantly hypocritical as the video I posted.

    Yes I read the articles. It's an Op Ed, followed by a "hard news" story, followed by an Op Ed. The Op Ed pieces are by different authors. So fucking what?

    The titles are the basis of the hypocrisy. They publish an Op Ed piece following a narrative. Then they post a news story showing the Administration is seemingly appeasing that narrative. Then they publish another Op Ed piece that is opposite of the original narrative.

    It could be construed as somewhat hypocritical if all 3 pieces were written by the same person and they changed their view. but 3 different stories by 3 different people with different views doesn't really make it hypocritical and even if so, not nearly as blatant as the clip I posted.

    The funny part is that his meme shows different and competing opinions like a valid news source should, which just enforces the point that fox news is terrible and sucks. The fact that people think this is a negative just shows how far down the rabbit hole of stupidity we have gone.

    Really quick serious question:

    Do you want your news and info to come to you in a fair and balanced way?
