Fox is far and away the most fair and balanced when it comes to Trump. It really isn’t even close

Try reading about that snipthat you copied.

It's not biased to report negatively on the president. In the same way that it's not biased if you report that "bag o' glass" is dangerous.

When someone reports a negative fact about your guy, it's not bias. It's just something you don't want to hear.

You should read about journalistic methods. You can't reveal a source if you expect them to remain a source. Plus, there are other ways to verify an anonymous source.

The guy got fired for lying and has already pleaded guilty to crimes.

How can you slander someone by stating simple facts about them?

Are we going to use anecdotal evidence to try to make a point? That won't get us anywhere.

There are a million fox screenshots I could dig up that provejust as much as yours does.

Can we then at least agree that it was foolish to keep him as National Security Advisor for 18 days after he had been outed as a liar and felon?

I also might add that Flynn was only fired after "anonymous sources" turned out to be correct when they reported that Flynn had lied to the FBI.

So a good source is "familiar with Trump's mindset?"

Please tell me you don't think that is quality reporting.

Such good reporting going on at WaPo

FAKE NEWS

If you want to use a false claim about crowd size as justification for firing, I'm okay with that.

But if that was the measuring stick, Trump would have lasted less than 24 hrs in office.

Didn't say it was a measuring stick. I gave you data and examples of major news outlet gossip without sources or evidence.

Major retractions in the past few weeks are all I need to know

You provided data of the "tone". Nothing about gossip without sources. You need to understand the difference to hold a meaningful discourse.

You provided one example of an obscure journalist's tweet, which was retracted and issued a public apology for the mistake.

That's hardly evidence of a huge media conspiracy as your Dear Leader would have you believe.

In reality, Trump is manipulating you to immediately deny the validity of ALL journalism, both credible and fake. Questioning media sources is healthy, but he has got you immediately denying every report out of WaPo. He has you right where he wants you.

uh, he pled to lying?

And he was fired for lying?

So why on Earth would that be a slander on him?

They were spot-on when they reported that Trump's National Security Advisor was a blackmail threat because he had lied to the FBI while Russia was listening.

Just one example.

I’d say there’s a much better chance for a Pardon than slander.

Sounds like you're the one being manipulated.

The media has you right where they want you. Ignorant and ill-informed.

Pointing out if Flynn lies is not "slander".

At this point does anybody believe that Flynn could make up something about Trump that Mueller KNOWS is a lie and Mueller would run with it anyway?

If I read both Foxnews and WaPo amongst others, and you only read FoxNews, which of us is ignorant and I'll-informed?

Here, I'll give you the answer;
