[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]WSJ has been overall critical of Trump's admin and their reporting coverage is generally of a higher quality than Fox News. The audience, judging from reader comments, is also better informed overall. In the end, it's the economy and business leaders who will lead the correction of Trump's utterly misguided leadership and, hopefully, shatter the cult.
Reading Fox News, I weep for our country. We have a horrifyingly under educated, easily duped populace.[/quote]

Perhaps. But people are entitled to both their own news sources and their own opinions. You may disagree with both, but you can't ban them based on vague allegations of misinformation or disinformation.[/quote]

I think the main problem is that Fox is not actually a news source but it is relied upon like one. In several defamation lawsuits, Fox’s defense has been that it is an entertainment network— not a news network— and that its reporting should not be relied upon for truth and accuracy. They’ve lost quite a few legal battles that way, tremendously expensive ones, but it gives an insight into how they see their own programming. They don’t insist on high journalism standards— why should they? They’re entertainment. But some people clearly use them as their primary or even sole news source, which is very troubling. [/quote]

This. No one should take that network seriously.

[quote=Anonymous]Interesting that the Ed board needed to opine that one of them (presumably Miles Taylor) is less sympathetic than the other (I’m assuming Chris Krebs.) This behavior really needs an unmitigated slapdown.

Also, Democrats did NOT “do this to him.” At no time did President Biden or any other Democrat issue an executive order mandating that the Justice Department open investigations into people.

So, not even a golf clap for the ed board.[/quote]

And this. It's gaslighting, "both-sides" nonsense to suggest the previous administration did ANYTHING like what Trump is doing with the DOJ.
