Sean Insannity gets his ass blistered by WaPo on his BS "red wave" rumor denial...

[Nomad]

I think the big question is will these jackasses blame Trump, claim cheating again, or will they just keep their mouths shut after being proven so wonderfully wrong?

I would imagine that, in the cases of Hannity, Carlson and their Fox blowhard gasbag colleagues, they'll just switch back to their usual lying and character assassination of Biden, Pelosi and any other Democrat who ends up in their crosshairs.

 

[Joe Capitalist]

Few things bring me more pleasure than seeing this asshole get made a fool out of.

Just another example of what a shameless, spineless, lying piece of rabid dog excrement this turd is.

How he has managed to stay on TV as long as he has, can only be explained by the right's insatiable appetite for bullshit propaganda that tells them what they want to hear, with zero regard for whether it contains a shred of truth or not.

I hope that wherever these Fakes News dipshits in the video are right now, they are feeling the sting of embarrassment every waking moment.

Ha! I love it when Sean Insannity gets exposed for his bullshit propaganda. Hannity isn't a journalist. He isn't a newscaster. He's a world-class propagandist. That's all.

Hannity is like Trump in that way. It's not that he hates being wrong, he only hates being caught and called out for being wrong.

I notice you guys never complain about MSNBC and CNN doing it. There would be a lot more credibility here if you at least acknowledged what they do. I’m not standing up for Fox News, in fact I don’t watch Fox News, but if comes across as just partisan complaining if you can’t acknowledge the poison cable news as a whole provides and the demogaugery those stations offer as well.

While possible this is the best we do I wouldn’t put money on it. He’s building something special.

I don't have cable and as such, I don't get CNN or MSNBC.

I can tell you this though, if I did watch them and saw them harping on woke bullshit or exaggerating about or misrepresenting the Republican agenda, I would be calling them out on it.

Unfortunately, in most cases, there is no exaggerating the extremism of the Republican agenda.

Especially given how joined they've been at the hip and how fused to Trump's ass their lips have been.

Maybe that will change next year.

I'll offer one example. A little while back I watched Shelby Steele's documentary called What Killed Michael Brown. Really well done imo. During part of it he was showing media coverage of the killing and people on MSNBC and CNN telling misinformation on the air about what happened, getting people even more riled up.

I don't watch the cable news channels because to me it's mind numbing but I know plenty of people do and I'm not going to disrespect them for that. But thanks to social media, we can see plenty of clips from the shows so even though one may not watch you can still get a sense for what's being discussed.

I get it, it's never as easy to call out people we generally agree with. Like I said, I'm not sticking up for Fox News. I wouldn't shed a tear if it went off the air tomorrow. But I've watched enough clips, and read enough reviews, about MSNBC and CNN to know they pedal in the same echo chamber partisan/tribal game Fox News does. And there is an element of irony for those who watch those two stations complaining about Fox News.

The op was about how horribly wrong FOX was, not MSNBC or CNN. You trying to turn it into a "whataboutism" just shows your support of FOX even if you don't watch it.

I do recall back around the time of Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown and a handful of other similar incidents, that the media truly had jumped on the "Racist Cop Vs Innocent Black Victim" bandwagon, and in pretty much every case, I sided with the cop or other shooter over the knee-jerk, PC media narrative.

I was posting at a forum called DC Junkies under the screen name JDubya in those days, so anyone who was also there and remembers me, should also remember how far afoul I ran of my fellow lefties back then.

They are all infotainment, melodrama, but Murdoch initiated the “fair and balanced,” the possibility of an alternate truth, which Fox still accents daily

Most schools with a new coach and winning record feel something big is coming

Why did he find it necessary to show clips from CNN and MSNBC?

Admittedly, all the cable stations are poor, as I said infotainment, selling partisan melodrama to turn a buck, but, again as I said, Fox is the worse, none of the others featured known demagogues in prime time spots

Because they were the among the loudest voices pushing the false narrative and talking about it the most. The emphasis in the documentary is not about the cable news networks themselves, rather he was showing clips of how the discussion of the killing was being framed and presented.

If you want to argue Fox is worse than MSNBC and CNN then you can have that discussion. I'll peace out of that. But trying to separate them and claim that somehow MSNBC and CNN are not demo gauging issues or have demo gauges on their stations hosting shows is something separate and that's what I'm calling out.

You're contradicting yourself. Fox News is, indeed, the loudest voice of demagoguery. I don't watch MSNBC but I do watch CNN. Fox is much worse in Prime Time. During the day, both are on par with each other, but at night, Fox News clearly becomes the Wackadoodle Network.

These turds fall for it every single time.

Isn’t this really just a symptom of a bigger problem? From a business perspective partisan media makes sense because it gives people what they want. But for society as a whole dividing people into these echo chambers where we hear confirmation bias over and over has a lot of not so positive results that come with it.

Corporate America.

Profits above all else.

Especially the truth.

Thus proving they have more in common with Democrats than Goldwater Republicans.

Nazis want a single leader to tell them what to do, Socialists want a committee to do it, but the results are the same: an authoritarian nanny state where people don't have to think or fend for themselves.

None of that has anything to do with what I said, which had to do with how the right wants to be lied to.

Where did I say anything about wanting to be told what to do?

I'll save you the effort....

Nowhere, because I didn't.

Meh. I know why you'd think so, but I appreciate you confirming your Liberal principles to the forum.

When someone says Democrats are honest, fair and promote tolerance, I have this forum to prove they are liars. LOL

Apparently what you consider to be the definition of "proof" doesn't come with a very high standard.

And once again, you've conflated two completely separate ideas.

How does my responding to one of your cheap, petty little insults by reminding you that you are not a member of a group you touted as understanding another of your inane conflations of unrelated subjects, indicate that I, as a Democrat, am not honest or fair and don't promote tolerance?

I think you place too much importance on your own sense of importance.
