    It’s simply not the journalistic norm to sensationally editorialize a chyron. Fox even corrected it:

    To those of is who have followed politics for decades, that is a glaringly obvious statement. What Fox peddles has little relationship to thoughtful conservatism.

    As for MSNBC, I watch the Rachel Maddow show regularly. I'm not a huge fan of her - she's more liberal than I am, and her delivery is irritating - but I've never known her to outright lie or fabricate facts, nor does she spew the hate and venom that Carlson does.

    Now you're showing your ignorance. Scores of thoughtful and principled conservatives loath Trump, and many have left the party. The right wing of the GOP, where you apparently reside, has nothing whatsoever to do with conservatism.

    Your second sentence disproved the assertion of your first.

    False equivalency, by several orders of magnitude.

    See my post #98 above.

    Only one of the two networks agreed to pay $700m for lying.

    As I recall he sued multiple outlets for hundreds of millions. Under the radar reporting is that he got a pittance from CNN. It was actually in the process of being released (had to do with his being a minor?). But his parents waited 3 months for him to turn 18 so it could be confidential. A # of people laid eye on the figure

    Some of them really may not understand it. But I assume most of them are just playing team ball.

    Meanwhile, Hannity still working to divide us with claims of crooked elections.

    Sean Hannity claims the last “five elections in a row” have been rigged by the FBI to elect Democrats

    I guess Fox figures if they lie about the federal government rigging elections rather than private companies rigging elections, they can't get sued and won't end up losing billions of dollars in law suits.
