The press versus the president - Columbia Journalism Review

A much more interesting article on CJR. Whell's World.

Fox News and the real insurrection
https://www.cjr.org/the_media_today/...surrection.php

It’s worth briefly stating the obvious here: this is all a choice. For all the talk of ratings pressure and Newsmax “winning,” Fox remains a behemoth in a way that its right-wing TV rivals are not, endowed with huge financial and moral power. Baseless outrage sells, but it isn’t inevitable—it dominates Fox’s air because Fox’s management, from Murdoch down, wants it to. The new programming changes are just another reminder of that. We’ve all seen the consequences.

Didn't say that it did. That's your attempt at a dodge, however. Not so great.

Your use of the term "dissembling" as a descriptor to sanitize lying under oath is what's quaint.

Here we go again.

So, did Trump get convicted of rape or sexual assault and I missed it? When was the trial? Was he convicted on one count or multiple counts? Where did he serve time?

Please give me all the details on his trial, sentencing, and incarceration for sex-related crimes. Who were the witnesses for the prosecution? What specifically did they allege? How long did it take the jury to return with a verdict? Where was the trial held?

I can't wait!

I wonder if Whell even knows that his constant bullshit campaign here is utterly pointless. He’s definitely one of their least talented trolls.

If your worldview is shaped by the likes of Esquire Magazine, you're likely beyond help.

Even the left-of-center fact-checkers can state the Dems are misleading on the topic of Medicare/Medicaid. Apparently, the Dems are employing less talented liars.

Rick Scott is advocating to sunset all federal programs entitlement in five years and then revisit them. What do you think will happen to Medicare and medicaid. For that matter, why don't Federal workers participate in Medicare and Medicaid?

Rescue America (?) like Trump is going to Save America? The only thing the Republicans do is Screw America like wanting to kill Affordable Healthcare.
If Rick Scott is as good at proposing policies as he is at picking Senate candidates, Lord help us all.

This article did not say that Democratic claims were false, just that the GOP wanted to sunset and/or reform these programs (as they promised with their disingenuous repeal & replace of Obamacare (something you also believed they were sincere about)).

McConnells quick, stern reaction tells you all you to know. The public does not trust or believe Republicans on this matter and the Biden criticism stung. Bigly.

This retired Federal employee has been Medicare participant since turning 65 as do all other retired Feds upon turning 65. Medicaid is a welfare program and am pretty sure fulltime Federal employment would make one ineligible. Related article:
