This is important? Whether a man with a show few people watch should interview his daughter. Did people know they were father daughter?

Would the nation be better off if there was not a "Faux News?"

So people are tricked into thinking some of the Dem ideas are not as good as the Dems are advertising? CNN also has opinion shows and "Faux News" is way down the list on a list of the nation's problems.

I am interested in a link showing he called something entertainment and then had to call it journalism.

Rod, Fox News is small when compared to the rest of the media. The addition of Fox News has helped, not hurt, the total news coverage of the media. Do you really think we would be better informed if Fox News was not available?

This is much ado about nothing. The person that titled the article was referring to Hannity's claim that his shows covered breaking news. They do, but his shows are opinion shows.

Fox News: Michael Flynn Is Innocent!

Posted By Mel Maki

Did you read your link? He made some good points. Dershowitz had a link on the same page. The Judge accused Flynn of being an unregistered foreign agent, but Flynn stopped before he took the job of national security advisor. The judge was set straight during recess. After recess he walked back his charge. This stuff is more fun if you read both sides.

Yes, he would have realized there was no treason.

The judge did walk back his statements some, but there is no doubt that the White House and Fox News and all the other supporters that endorse the narrative that Flynn is a good guy who was entrapped by the FBI and only committed a minor process crime is far from the truth. The judge made it clear that he did not appreciate Flynn and his supporters trying to shift the blame after having pleaded guilty. In the sentencing hearing, the judge forced Flynn to admit in court that he was guilty and that the FBI did not entrap him. This stuff is more fun if one side doesn't lie about everything and try to undermine the rule of law. The party of law and order indeed.



James, I get the back and forth we do here, but do you really think this prosecution has been even-handed? Just a remarkable concurrence of events?

We're done with that.
In other news, ISIS is defeated! Mission accomplished! 
Finally, the stock market has it's worst showing since the great depression. So the Fed raised interest rates again, that'll help us all...
(And so does Mel.)

I said there was no treason and referred to a link from Dershowitz that said he was not an unregistered foreign agent.

You, like Trump, are making false claims that you just cannot credibly back up.
Comey-      Hillary did not lie to the FBI
                  Hillary's email setup legal

Mel and
other
people-      Hillary's handling of emails broke laws 
 

James, am I on the wrong side, again?
Or if she didn't lie, maybe Comey didn't ask her about the emails.

I'll ask you again, are both sides treated fairly?

Mattis quits in protest

I'm surprised Mattis had much Dem support. He was a hawk that would want to double down with more deployment. Not Obama's style, either. Unwillingness to deploy troops shows less care about our allies?
