Fox News books the wrong guest, puts a Trump critic on air - Polidicks

https://youtu.be/7duImEMpi9s The Hilarious Reason Fox News Booked The Wrong Guest And Aired T.. How on earth did this happen? It turns out that Joe Katz, L’Italien’s campaign spokesman, used to work for Kirkpatrick ― 10 years ago. Fox News, unaware that Katz had changed jobs, reached out to see if he could bring his boss on. L’Italien saw a chance to speak directly to Trump, on his favorite network, about the serious problems with his immigration policy. So she took it. “So much for due diligence, so much for fact-checking,” she told HuffPost. “They continued to believe I was [Kirkpatrick] even after I said I wasn’t.”

A nice little treat with Trump’s coffee. I hope he enjoyed his morning conniption.

You mean Fox News just does whatever it pleases and doesn't bother with basic fact checking? I'm shocked. Shocked, I say!

Fox News' only defense to anything is cutting them off, talking over them and when that doesn't work they just cut you off the air

Lmao you know he heard it too They cut her off too, it shows that the media doesn't care about the other side

At this point we need to fucking weaponize the Republican's, the far-right's, and the alt-right's cluelessness/ignorance against them. Since so far this seems to be the best way of destroying all of their credibility. Sneak in "Supporters" and "Pro-Trump Activists" into these broadcasts. Lure Republican congressmen, representatives, and members into spewing their batshit insane beliefs with zero filters. Sacha Baron Cohen style. Drive them insane, make them break, cause them to show how truly ridiculous they are to the American Public. Of course their supporters are pretty much long gone by now, but we need to show everyone else who is either Democrat, Libertarian, independent, non-politically affiliated, etc of how batshit insane these fucks are.

It baffles me that anyone thinks Fox News is a fair and balanced news channel. Obama administration says they want universal healthcare - no, even just subsidized healthcare? "HE'S GONNA KILL THE OLD PEOPLE" Trump administration literally tears kids from their parents, puts them in internment camps, loses track of the parents for at least 70 of them, loses track of over 1400 of the kids themselves, and has numerous sexual assault allegations? "Well, he said he stopped. Besides, maybe those kids are evil MS13s? What are we supposed to do, NOT imprison people for misdemeanors?"

No Fair And Balanced Dissent will be allowed on the Fox and Friends!

Let's be fair, CNN is notorious for it too. All mainstream media is bias trash.

TRANSLATION COMMENCING... Beep... Beep... Beep... TRANSLATION COMPLETED. TRANSLATION RESULT : "Let's be fair, i am completely diverting the talk of this thread away from FOX cause i believe Fox is completely immune to criticism and outrage. All mainstream media that does not bend over backwards to my twisted/backward ass logic is "Bias Trash". Except for Fox, Fox is pure, fox is love, fox is life..."

Please, supply your evidence that the AP is trash.

Nobody in this thread is defending CNN

Hi, I'm Programmer and I've got a massive hard-on for whataboutism like you wouldn't believe it!

"My name is Barbara L'italien..." "Who is this...who is this???" Very mindful and meta analysis from Fox News journalists.

CNN is the most unbiased news network we have so fuck off. Bitch about msnbc or fox all you want but as far as I'm aware CNN has stayed true to its name and although it does sensationalize things a bit I've never heard in recent memory CNN directly spouting off bullshit.

CNN

I am not sure how you got "i love fox" out of my post. I very much dislike Fox, as with most mainstream media. I just said what I said because CNN does the same shit all the time and that's rarely reported on here. Also, some people on here such as @Shirt. who think CNN is "the most unbiased" news source. Facepunchers will hop all over a right-wing thread but don't show the same reaction to a left-wing thread. It's evident in just this thread posted today. If that thread was about how North Korea is not actually dismantling their facilities there would be a larger reaction because it's anti-Trump.

I miss the Useful rating because this was a very handy post.

CNN full left? wtf kind of spectrum is that?

Yeah... CNN was really anti Bernie so they're more in the corporate left category which is definitely centre-right economics with some centre-left social policies thrown in to distract the audience.

corporate center, at least slightly right everything else

Then post a thread about CNN, or media bias in general. There's no need for this stupid ehataboutism in a thread where the topic is clear.

Anyone can post threads here. Post a thread when CNN fucks up and we'll talk about CNN fucking up

I guess it's probably hard to pull off something like this properly, but if you're not partial to her viewpoint already, it's very easy to see her as simply disrupting the broadcast. It's not like she was engaging in a conversation with the anchors, so I honestly don't see how pulling her off the air is that controversial. That doesn't mean Fox can't be criticised or it's not alright to protest on live television, but I don't think other networks would've really reacted much differently.

False. Tudd posted several threads about CNN supposedly cutting people off

Guys I've found Devin Nunes' Facepunch account. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHtD8xRXn98 https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/devin-nunes-clashes-with-democratic-party-propaganda-cnn-over-fisa-documents "Do you really think I'm going to talk to the leading Democratic Party propaganda?" was Nunes' response, according to a clip aired on CNN. Raju was asking the congressman to comment on the Justice Department's weekend release of more than 400 pages of highly redacted, top-secret documents related to the 2016 application for the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant taken out on one-time Trump campaign aide Carter Page, in addition to three renewal applications. ... The documents "are not kind to Congressman Devin Nunes' claims" that the FBI was biased, said CNN's Anderson Cooper on his show Monday evening, after noting Nunes has repeatedly refused to appear for an interview. He added that the documents show the FBI had good reason to believe Page was subject to targeted recruitment by the Kremlin and that four Republican-appointed judges agreed. Asked by Cooper — after showing a clip of his tense engagement with Nunes at the Capitol — if all the Republican did was accuse CNN being Democratic propaganda, Raju replied, "That's pretty much it." "You are fake news" as a way of blowing off an uncomfortable question. Except CNN was actually present in the conversation in Nunes' case.

I can hear the curb your enthusiasm theme being played in the background.

Nononono, didn't you hear? We're left leaning hivemind that dogpiles on any propaganda-pushing idi RIGHT LEANING POSTER and none of us actually wants to hold a discussion. Smh, how can you be so blind to this cruel reality??

I am not sure why you think i'm using whataboutism. I am not trying to prove you wrong that Fox News is garbage. I'm simply saying CNN did the same thing to prove that Facepunch has a left leaning bias. If I responded "Yeah, RT and Alex Jones pull the same shit. They are garage." I highly doubt I would have received the negative feedback that I did because they are right-wing sources. I know he did, that's why I said "rarely". I see posts all about how Fox fucks up frequently but you don't share the same love with left-wing media. Don't you also find it funny that the alt-right guy was the one to post them? No one else here would. But, if it's a story about Fox then it's a race to post it. All I am saying is that it is quite evident that you will have no problem dogpiling over something bad a right-wing did but you don't show the same attention to the left? Why is that? Why is it when someone posts about NK not actually destroying their testing facilities that there are floods of ratings and negative posts about Trump? Then when the opposite is posted, it sits empty for hours until one guy says something pro-Trump? But good lord almighty, if someone dares say anything good about the right-wing or bad about the left then you are a Fox News lovin redneck Trump supporter. Facepunch really has the us vs. them mentality and it's quite frankly annoying. I can make 100 posts saying how much I hate Trump and Fox then I make one remark about the left and now "i believe Fox is completely immune to criticism and outrage. All mainstream media that does not bend over backwards to my twisted/backward ass logic is "Bias Trash". Except for Fox, Fox is pure, fox is love, fox is life..." You don't even read and consider what I post, you just want someone to point a finger at and call a dumb right-winger.

This is the definition of whataboutism.
