• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

That I know of, there are no numbers for the Left or the Right on this site. My point is that the Left needs to stop making that accusation against Conservatives.


Ah. So whom on the left do you feel was making the accusation?

Did you research any of the headlines yourself or are you just taking the word of a radical leftist website?


I am trying to research the titles. Since you found issues with two I figured I would start with those. Can you give me the titles you used so I can see what you saw?

As has been pointed out, the order of the questions is selected randomly, so the first two are different for everyone. Here are my first two:

#1 Fox version:
The Obama Challenge: Making the Case for 4 More Years, Despite Hope and Change's Failure - Fox Nation

#1 WSJ version:
Democrats, Obama to Press Case for New Term - WSJ


#2 Fox version:
The Jihadist Raids in Europe: Why They're Important and Obama Must Get Serious - Fox Nation

#2 National Review version:
The Belgium Jihadist Raids: Why They?re Important | National Review Online


Then I went a little further:
#3 Fox:
Official: Cuba terror listing won?t affect US push for embassy, diplomatic ties | Fox News

#3 CBS:
U.S. plans to set up embassy in Cuba - CBS News

For #3, they're not the same exact story - they're about the same subject, but they're authored by the respective news agencies. For the first two, however, they're the exact same story - and the originals aren't even from "left-wing" sources.

I just did that. For the 3 I checked (which were the first 3 I got today), The Fox or Not web site was 100% accurate in its description.

Notice that the comparison is between headlines for OPINION pieces

#1 was not an opinion piece. It was a news piece from the wsj.com "Politics and Policy" section.

#3 weren't opinion pieces either.

When I said the first two, I was being literal meaning that I searched for the first two
The first two headlines change every time you visit the site. The first time I went to the site the first two were about Hillary in 2016. I closed that and went back and that time the first two were about illegals in AZ. So what two headlines did you search for?

Just use the ones posted earlier which turned out to be comparisons of headlines for OPINION pieces

I would be glad to but you have posted any headlines. iluvatar5150 posted three but only one of the three was an opinion piece. Which headlines did you use? Those are the ones we are interested in.

Faux news liars tried to hide this truth:


West Point drummer injured by ax thrown by 'Fox & Friends' co-anchor
Source: Poughkeepsie Journal

A West Point drummer was injured after he was hit by an ax thrown by a “Fox & Friends” co-host.

The drummer for the United States Military Academy was performing as part of a segment on the show when the anchor, attempting to hit a target, hurled the ax the drummer’s way, according to the article published on the Daily News’ website.

The chilling scene did not air on the TV network, but was captured on a witness’ cellphone and posted on YouTube.

In the YouTube video, the anchor, Pete Hegseth, is seen throwing the ax, but it did not hit the bullseye. Instead, the ax is propelled at West Point drummer, Jeff Prosperie.
