Fox News is the voice of reason amidst a sea of fools.

maybe read the reason fox news was created in the first place. I'll give you a hint, it had to do the the Nixon impeachment.

"A Plan For Putting the GOP on TV News"— is included in a 318-page cache of documents detailing Ailes' work for both the Nixon and George H.W. Bush administrations that we obtained from the Nixon and Bush presidential libraries.

here is a copy if you want to read.

He did not.

Members of Biden's campaign staff, who are still members of his campaign staff, did contribute to bailing out arrested rioters (through the Minnesota Freedom Fund).

Kamala Harris has gone on record making statements supporting the MFF, and urging people to contribute to it.

They didn't bail out "rioters." We're largely talking about curfew violators, reporters, and other peaceful protesters.

We are also talking about individuals who also work for the Biden campaign, not Biden or the campaign itself.

So, again, there is only one candidate condoning or defending some of the violence taking place, and it's Donald Trump. There's only one candidate who is president of the United States while this violence is going on, and it's Donald Trump. There is only one candidate who is exacerbating the violence in intentionally inflammatory ways, and it's Donald Trump. There is only one campaign that admits violence is good for their election strategy, and it's Donald Trump's campaign.

Trump is trying to scare people into voting him, but he's the one people should be afraid of. I'm tired of people in this thread bringing up recent violence as though it does anything other than demonstrate why people should vote for Joe Biden.

Is the violence a federally mandated/controlled/exacerbated thing? Even if I believe it is in response to police doing the keep the black man down routine, kill em if you have to/can get away with it, (general boredom, disillusionment and apathy, as well as maybe kids hopped up on the largely useless news that the US favours, being what I would say being the main driving forces for this one), most of those appear to be city, county or possibly state police (not sure I have seen any state's state police do anything particularly newsworthy, snark very much intended, there but will include them anyway).

Equally has violence ever led to someone not banging the law and order drum getting a boost? Such things have been known for... longer than living memory -- remove security from people and they will seek it, even at the cost of their liberty (there was a phrase about that). At this point I would almost wonder if the mayors, DAs and governors doing the hands off/stand down/feds go home routine are intentionally giving them a boost as an act of protest of their own (at least until it lands on their doorstep). Most places doing the burn and loot routine have plenty of funds for big boy investigations, nailing shot callers, CCTV all over the shop, and could otherwise happily get a contingent of FBI (might even have a field office in the same city) with but a word.

On American news I do like the following as a brief overview, they spend a bit longer ragging on fox than they probably had to but if a target presents itself...

lower quality but includes a take on UK if the septics among us feel insecure about not having them bashed as well


It is old but that probably makes it better still. That said I would not trust any US TV news I ever saw to run a high school newspaper.

A necessary evil when the rest of the media is far-left propoganda.
Far left.... yeah no.
Most of the people you think is left (bernie, biden) aren't even remotely close, here's a site. If the media was all that left leaning and supportive of the left, they would discuss someone like Hawkins more or sanders. Meanwhile they are discussing biden, which on the "political compass" biden is just a much less extreme trump. Who is extremely high in authoritarian.
https://www.politicalcompass.org/uselection2020
and due to the fact you think biden is "left" this also reveals where the overtune window of the united states is. Which is somewhere in the lower middle of the upper right quadrant. Which also means things left to the states, are not all that left at all.
meanwhile most of the time fox news is happily praising trump, and has historically have not critiqued him.
