Competing with The Onion now. Appropriate.

Weird. I went to Fox News to see what they were saying about the tariffs, and there's not a single mention.

Here are three from the past 24 hours. I went there and did a search for tariff. There were 347,000 results and not in chronological order, which is shitty design.

Indeed. I was just being snarky.

To be fair to them, it's currently their top headline on their front page.

Is it? It's not on mine.
Top story is fucking Groundhog's Day. Then 2 stories about the helicopter-plane crash, then Obama being sued about something. Takes 7 pages of scroll downs for "American gas association reacts to Trump tariffs"

At 2 or 3 am, it was. Now it's the 2nd story on mine.

WTF? How are you getting such different results?

I just looked at foxnews.com, I had to scroll waaaay down until search found the word "tariff."

And it was a tiny little picture/article in a grid.

Fox News (before election): Eggs are too expensive thanks to Biden!

Fox News (today): Bird flu driving up egg prices! Here are healthy alternatives!

Fox is just going to play the same games CNN did for the past four years and vice versa. They'll switch every time the office switches parties.

Don't trust any of them.

I'd be interested in seeing the results from the social experiment. Pretty sure the drone crisis from last year was also a social experiment.

BTW, all money paid out and accepted by these MSM outlets breaks rule #1 of journalism. We do not have a free press in this country. Once you accept a check, they own you.

Also, Maddow is either lying to their audience or they didn't bother fact checking, which means they suck at their job. Take your pick:

Kind of hard to lie away this one when it says, "Large scale social deception" in the description line, unless someone had a great sense of humor filling out a form they thought nobody would ever see?

If everyone lived by "Seek first to understand," the world would be a better place.

The Reuters this is misinformation. The SocSec 150 years old thing is misinformation. Retards are running the asylum.

Post your sources. Let's compare.

Outside of subscriptions, no money should ever be going from the government to a "free media" covering that government.

In other news...

How does this happen? Government plot? No. When you have a single entity owning multiple local stations, like George Soros, they can hand down a script and force it to be read on air. It gets presented as an original thought by the station's owner, manager, or the anchor.

Tell me why the Trump administration approved it in 2018?

At any rate, the stupidity is astounding. Absolutely astounding.

Who cares who did it? It shouldn't have been done. The game shouldn't be "find some way to blame the other team" It should be "Stop doing this shit".
