Never forget where the network's true loyalties lie.

As soon as Don started talking about how corrupt and mentally incapable McConnell is, they main network cut away to the studio and no mention of McConnell again.

Trump also gave one of the greatest backhanded directv insults to the CNN chick who he hates I've ever seen.

quote:


"McConnell as leader could raise so much money. Even you could raise that much money if you were in that position, and that's really saying something.
"

Trump needs to go to war on McConnell, trash him and make him the pariah of Kentucky. It’s time for scorched earth against McConnell and his wife.

The TV networks have the attention span of a gnat. They want to get back to their on-air personalities. But, no one is getting their news from them these days anyways. No libs are going to be watching Fox and you know the other ones aren't going to carry it. So it is best to just post it all around social media - many more eyes.

Fox News is ranked the number one cable news network for both Democrats and independents.

Reminds me of this scene in Private Parts describing the early Howard Stern Audience at WNNNBC.

To be fair to FNC, they probably have to be careful to avoid libel and slander.

I agree that McConnell needs to go and will when his term ends. However, Kentucky has elected Democrat governors the last three elections and one is governor now.

Push McConnell out and you might end up with a Democrat.

Be cautious.

Who cares, he’s voting like Dem anyway and he hates Trump. How would a Democrat be worse?

Mitch McConnell thinks he is standing for something. Soon he will be gone and his family will have to live with the name of a shameful person. Their lives will always be tainted by him. That’s how selfish Mitch is. He is a disgusting human being that deserves no sympathy in this life or the next.

FNC is bought by the Establishment.

They work hard to fool you, though.


Their Goal: Keep you focused on Left versus Right.



Most on this board are smarter than that, though.

I haven't. That's why I switched to OAN in October of 2020 and never looked back.

Fox mentioned a few times that the Turtle was the only R-- NO vote.

They must have cut away I didn't see this. How does the question match the answer? It sounded like that CNN lady's voice saying RFK Jr and conspiracy then Trump riffs about Turtle. <---rightfully so.

It’s a factual statement that Mitch McConnell led a weak GOP.

Someone posted last week that the KY legislature passed a law that the governor can’t appoint a Senator to a vacant seat anymore.
quote:

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — Republican lawmakers in Kentucky on Friday removed the Democratic governor from any role filling future U.S. Senate vacancies — a move supporters said was unrelated to recent scrutiny about the health of the state’s senior senator, Republican leader Mitch McConnell.

The GOP supermajority Legislature easily overrode Gov. Andy Beshear’s veto of the measure. The legislation calls for a special election to fill any Senate vacancy from the Bluegrass State. The special election winner would hold the seat for the remainder of the unexpired term.

They may not like each other but I bet only one has evidence that the other was corrupt, stealing from the American taxpayer.

Good point. We might end up with someone who votes no on confirmations.

Some of us realize this to an extent, but still have a couple of shows on Fox that are pretty good to watch. The rest, I don't watch, period.

This statement is totally incorrect. It has nothing to do with attention span. Actually it’s quite the opposite. They are paying extremely close attention.

That’s precisely why they cut away. Attention span? No. Clearly censorship.
