The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

However I have two questions that I hope you can answer that may help me to better understand the fact checking process...

1) Is a Fox News score affected when their emotionally charged headline is substantiated by an approved source?


What score? The emotionally laden judgment looks like they’re saying Fox uses right wing click bait headlines, not a comment on accuracy. Are you asleep?

2) Should Fox News move their emotionally charged content from the headline to the body like CNN?

Overall, we rate CNN moderately left-biased based on editorial positions by TV hosts that consistently favor the left, while straight news reporting falls left-center through bias by omission. We also rate them as Mostly Factual in reporting rather than high due to two failed fact checks in the last five years. (5/16/2016) Updated (M. Huitsing 11/20/2023)

I will say this much, that Network went through some changeover and I stopped watching them. They went downhill, lost audience share, and they may be out doing emotion laden headlines to keep their head above water. I don’t know, stopped watching. I only read beat stories and watched Cuomo and some Lemon while in the Phils. CNN was fine,– and FOX was dropped. Filipinos aren’t interested in the hard right wing conspiracy and misinfo on FOX. One of my good friends over there was MAGA ex military died as a result of a stroke. He was a recovering alcoholic – PTSD from all of his deployments . We never ever talked politics because he couldn’t be stressed out.

Biden previews 2024 message by warning that Trump’s movement is a threat to American democracy
Biden says ‘MAGA Republicans’ threaten democracy as he and Dems crank up anti-Trump rhetoric ahead of midterms, and White House defends slamming half of America as ‘semi-fascist,’ ‘terrorists’ despite Biden’s unity pledge.

The election is on, and Trump’s movement is a threat to democracy. Watch, as we walk right past Trump, win the election, and put Trump in jail.
