    By that definition of hypocrisy, you shouldn't be criticizing anyone on the left if there's anyone on the right who did something similar and you haven't publicly criticized.

    Whom would you like me to criticize and for what? Fox? They spin stuff for the right. No question. You can't just rely on what they say.

    And the screenshots are fake? The Mediaite story is fake?
    And someone here should just say "I don't care what Snopes said, Fox dropped the stock sticket!"

    BTW, I'd guess that Snopes is right. It usually is. But anyone who looked at Fox in the days after Trump's announcement could easily see how it downplayed the stocks. You had to scroll down the page looking for some mention of the biggest news story of the day while Fox trumpeted important stuff like what some transgender somewhere said.

    If they say they didn't drop the covid death counter off the front page within a couple of days after the election, they are lying. It was a topic of discussion at the time.

    Right. It was discussed because Tucker Carlson said it. He says lots of stuff.

    I have no concern for anything Tucker Carlson says. It was discussed daily on the message boards.

    I observed it personally. I'm pretty sure anyone discussing 'politics' around that time knows it happened.

    Are you suggesting CNN doesn't tailor their coverage to aid democrats?

    Edit: I'm speaking of cnn.com not whatever they did on TV.
