President Trump’s grotesque summit press conference with Russian leader Vladimir Putin drew widespread condemnation from American citizens, journalists, and a disgracefully few Republicans. But the corporate lips of Fox News remain affixed to Trump’s backside.


quote:

On Monday night, Tucker Carlson led off Fox’s primetime schedule doing his usual routine — distraction via what-about-ism.


quote:

Carlson, Sean Hannity, and the other primetime host, Laura Ingraham, tried to shift the news to a theme more familiar to their viewers: The media is being mean to President Trump. “Media in Meltdown After Putin Summit” and “CNN Considers Trump Impeachment After Summit” were just a couple of chyrons blasting beneath Fox talking-heads.


quote:

Clearly, Fox felt something more needed to be done, as condemnation of Trump continues to pour in from all sides. So Tuesday morning on Fox & Friends, the president’s most fawning TV fans began a heroic effort at damage control.

Damnit Fox News. You need to focus on the real hard hitting journalism that the American people depend on:

So, Yahoo News is critiquing Fox. How come I never see Fox News doing a critique of Yahoo?

The whole fricking political climate in our country is nauseating... borderline pathetic/embarrassing at this point


And that’s a comment that’s directed towards ALL sides.. everyone has turned into a bunch of crybabies waiting to holler out ‘I TOLD YOU SO’

this too shall pass, right? I mean eventually it’s gotta go away, right???? Doesn’t seem like it

What DOESN'T draw "widespread condemnation" from journalist and a chunk of American citizens? For much of that group there is literally (and I intentionally use that word) nothing he can do that doesn't garner criticism.

The problem is when EVERYTHING is a "disaster", NOTHING is a "disaster." The media and many democrats are like crazy girlfriends that freak out over everything. Eventually you have no idea what really is a big deal, so you just ignore it all and attribute it to her being batshit.

Last week it was the Supreme Court nominee that would end America as we know it. The week before that was the audacity to attempt to curtail illegal immigration. This week we're back to Russia and evidently the cold war (that Obama laughingly said ended 20 years ago). Next week Trump may tweet something and the media/democrats will have another case for Armageddon.

You people are ridiculous.



OH NO. IT WAS "GROTESQUE". Why other hyperbole can you come up with? Was it "MORTIFYING"? How about "It was Outlandish, preposterous and Surrealistic?" Have those been used yet?

Yea, we should wait for straight skinny from Breitbart, Daily Caller, Gateway Pundit, Infowars and Zero Hedge.

Edt: Do you ever use Yahoo Finance or any of their other services? Don't show your ignorance.

If you notice, all the media puppets use the same adjectives. They are handed the talking points, and the left does what it's told.

They also sit down to pee.
