Pretty despicable. If Fox had any integrity left they would immediately fire Watters. And if Fox viewers had any integrity left too they would call for his termination. Fauci Wants Fox Host ‘Fired on the Spot’ for Urging Fans to ‘Ambush’ Him With ‘Kill Shot’In other Fox News, Tuckrr Carson needs to go too. What is Fox afraid of? Tucker Carlson Roasts Eric Swalwell as the ‘Most Physically Unclean Member of Congress,’ Who Has Had ‘Multiple Chlamydia Infections’Tucker Carlson roasted Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) on Monday night, claiming the congressman had “multiple chlamydia infections.” The Fox News host cited no sources for the claim, which he made while a graphic reading, “In bed with Fang Fang” appeared over his shoulder. Fang Fang refers to Christine Fang, a suspected Chinese spy who helped fundraise for multiple Democratic politicians, including Swalwell. Fang fled the United States in 2015. Swalwell insisted he did not share sensitive information with her. He has neither confirmed nor denied rumors that he was sexually involved with the alleged operative. lTucker Carlson Roasts Eric Swalwell as the ‘Most Physically Unclean Member of Congress,’ Who Has Had ‘Multiple Chlamydia Infections’

We basically watch either NBC or ABC National Nightly news. We do have to watch the news to stay informed even when mislead by them. hard left liberal agenda.........you can tell where the networks stand/stood when they spend 12 minutes on their opening on various alleged issues congress was investigating and not mention how good the economy was, etc, and now you get the 11 minutes opening on how well Build Back better is and how great Biden has been for the nation. “Hard left”? Are they pushing communism, a people’s revolution, running commercials for the Socialist Workers Party? Asking for donations for ALF and ELF? I’m confused. a hard left station would offer a critique of capitalism. would anyone care to guess what percentage of MSM/commercial TV news time has been dedicated to that in the last FOURTY YEARS? go ahead. guess.
note: this has been carefully chronicled at MIT. so, yeah, I am sure about the answer.

Socialist Workers Party? Ahh, yeh. That is the present Democratic party. By the way, "Hard Left" was not my quote. I pulled it from a response to me. I will say the three National news stations do lean very left and always promote the daily plablum that the WH puts out to their democratic politicians that they want pushed on citizens. You just dorfed it big time. seriously. there is literally no evidence to back this up. just "feelings".

They only lean "very left" of your opinion - not of the collective American citizens. the further away from the political center you are, the less likely you will recognize who is in the middle.
Biden is a moderate. my radical left friends think he a corporatist tool, and a DINO.

And, as he just proved, an asset of the national security apparatus. He did not release the remaining 15,000+ pages on the JFK event, and froze them for another year. I believe there were 2 MILLION pages over a Lone Nut GunmEn.

i will reply to my own question from 22 hours ago if nobody is game. in a couple of hours. Zero? correct. MIT has scoured the networks for any proof that capitalism has been criticized in the mainstream cable news media, and found no evidence of any critique. this means that a person like Richard Wolff has NEVER appeared on a cable news show. ever.
there is a very important reason for WHY. the network news demands CONCISION.
if you were to get on the air, and during an interview said that capitalism is a system which, in the end, will consume every resource, including the bodies that fuel it- that kind of statement will JUSTIFIABLY expect a response. and any MEANINGFUL critique won't fit between commercial breaks. so, short format, commercial, private news simply will NOT allow such a critique to take place. which, when you consider the fact that corporations are part of that system, is unsurprising.

if you are wondering WHY the IDEA of a left wing media never passed the sniff test for me, even as a teenager, the last post is the answer as to WHY. it is extraordinarily rare for board members to engage in self critique. it is another level entirely for corporate news to question it's own viability.

If CNN fired Chris Cuomo for offering advice to his brother then FOX should fire Sean Hannity for offering advice to trump. Hannity, Fox face ethical issues over Trump text revelations
NEW YORK (AP) — For years, Sean Hannity has skirted ethical boundaries with his role on a television network with “news” in its name. Yet it's never been as stark as now, with the committee investigating last year's Capitol insurrection seeking his testimony. The Jan. 6 select committee has revealed a series of texts where Hannity privately advised former President Donald Trump before, during and after the assault, and is seeking his insight about what happened in those days. The popular Fox News Channel prime-time host hasn't said what he will do, but he's slammed the congressional probe as a partisan witch hunt. His lawyer has raised First Amendment concerns about the request. It's not unheard of for journalists to offer advice to politicians — history records Ben Bradlee's friendship with former President John F. Kennedy — but such actions raise questions about their independence and allegiance to the public interest, said Jane Kirtley, director of the Silha Center for the Study of Media Ethics and Law at the University of Minnesota. Just last month, CNN fired prime-time host Chris Cuomo when it became clear his efforts to advise his brother, former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, were more extensive than previously acknowledged In one text revealed by the committee on Tuesday, Hannity wrote to Trump's former chief of staff, Mark Meadows, on Dec. 31, 2020, that “we can't lose the entire WH counsel's office” and said Trump should announce he was leading a nationwide effort to reform voting integrity. In a previously-revealed text, Hannity urged Trump on Jan. 6 to tell people to leave the Capitol peacefully. On Jan. 10, Hannity texted Meadows that Trump should never mention the election again — advice Trump clearly didn't take. Noting that Hannity had texted on Jan. 5 that he was “very worried about the next 48 hours,” Rep. Bennie Thompson, the committee chair, said he wanted to know what concerned the host. It was widely reported during the Trump administration that Hannity spoke frequently with the president. The texts to Meadows put specificity to some of the communications. Hannity's identity as a conservative talk show host has been locked in for two decades, both as a prime-time host on Fox News Channel and on talk radio. His identity as a journalist has been murkier. Fox refers to him as an opinion host. In 2016, Hannity told The New York Times that “I never claimed to be a journalist.” A year later, he told the same newspaper that “I'm a journalist. But I'm an advocacy journalist, or an opinion journalist.” Complete article here: Hannity, Fox face ethical issues over Trump text revelations
