• 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.

  • 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.

Well, with MSNBC, you have Maddow & Mika giving you the news, and CNN's evening roster is gayer than a San Fran hairdresser singing karaoke showtunes dressed as the biker from YMCA in a Hollywood bathhouse.

If FOX didn't bring the eye candy, no one would watch the news.

Read my keystrokes. I don’t care what cable news says about anything. That includes CNN, FoxBabe News ..... clean your monitor so you can improve your understanding.

I am not understanding the "Fox Babe News".
It goes back to the beginning of the network. I had some buds in local media and they joked that Fox News earned the name for the hot blondes that seemed ever present, including local Fox affiliates.

What planet are you from?. I rarely watch CNN. In fact I see way more FoxBabe News because I live in the Red zone south and most public waiting areas have it on the TV. It supplanted the Weather Channel.

Capiche?

Sounding a bit unhinged there buddy.

You okay?
It is true. The media is supposed to be objective and honest so that politicians can be held accountable to the American people. CNN and other fake news networks has caused great damage to our democracy by feeding lie after lie to millions of people to manipulate for their own agenda. They are a threat to American Democracy because they have completely thrown away their credibility as a news network and are now incapable of holding the government accountable.

Weird, that's exactly how I would describe Fox News.

But I wouldn't call them the "enemy of the people".
Reminds me too much of this: Lying press - Wikipedia

I do not find your claims credible.

They are a threat to American Democracy because they have completely thrown away their credibility as a news network and are now incapable of holding the government accountable.

The founding fathers would disagree. Likely why they enshrined the rights of the press in the constitution. They only business to receive such protection.

Doubtful. They guaranteed freedom of the press in the Bill of Rights. That hardly means they would judge a news network that spews propaganda credible, or capable of holding the government accountable.

To be more specific, an amendment to the constitution, the first amendment.

Have you read about the press in the time of the founding fathers?

Yes, well done.

The power of the press is only as great as how credible they are perceived. Otherwise, they are merely tabloids. Even if CNN or MSNBC reported the president committed a crime, over half the country would disregard/ignore it as more fake news tabloids.

The percentage apparently would be higher.
Poll: 72 percent say traditional outlets 'report news they know to be fake, false, or purposely misleading'| The Hill

The poll of nearly 4,000 adults shows that 92 percent of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents "say that traditional news outlets knowingly report false or misleading stories at least sometimes," a finding in line with other recent polls conducted by Pew Research and Gallup.

It found the sentiment extends to those who identify as independents and Democrats, with 79 percent of independents also saying traditional outlets knowingly report false or misleading stories at least sometimes. Democrats agree by a slight majority of 53 percent.

The poll also found that almost two-thirds of those polled say fake news "is usually reported because people have an agenda."

Then you are complaining about a non issue if they have no power.
