What happened? I dont get Fox News in my cabin but spent a week in Anchorage a week ago and watched her program. She was pretty hot. Now my brother said she was fired. What up?

How can this be? I thought whatever you hear on Fox is fact, yet Fox fires her for saying the virus is a conspiracy against the President. Isn't that what Hannity told us? Shouldn't he be fired as well? I guess Regan isn't far enough up the food chain for protection.
So when the talking heads at Fox were saying this was a hoax and nothing more than an attack on the President, were they lying or just clueless? Bottom line, everything you hear at Fox cannot be taken as fact, just as can be said for any other network. The fallacy is believing that you don't have misleading news coming out of Fox just as you do MSNBC. And the worst part is that they both have too many minions that can't think for themselves, believing everything they are fed and then promoting it as fact.

Like we talked about before, searching for Dick Pound may bring up results you didn't expect. I know you love your Olympics.

She had an opinion that was not politically correct and got the boot. This is actually pretty common these days. By no means am I defending her actions. I think she was wrong, but many have said much worse and still have their jobs.Limited IQ Redneck in PU said:

I miss the days when we could listen to Walter Cronkite and all news had to pass through a grizzled, angry, cigarette smoking news editor who demanded that reporters be able to verify sources, ask for comment from all parties involved and.....get this....clearly label NEWS as NEWS and OPINION as OPINION.
What killed the ability to rely on news for accuracy is the emergence of the internet and blogs/talking heads who can say whatever they want, propose any ridiculous theory without being challenged before going public, etc.
Nothing is ever or was ever perfect, but if you earned a Baylor journalism degree under the heavy hand of a professor like the great David McHam, you knew better than to try to conflict news with opinion, and you'd better be prepared to defend your facts before handing him a story for publication.

I don't bother to watch any of it. To be fair, does MSNBC even have a strictly news show advertised as such? The few times I have passed through it, it was all opinion and that was obvious. When you have guests, regardless of network, it is likely opinion......or entertainment, not news.Johnny Bear said:blackie said:

At least on Fox News there is a discernable distinction between their opinion shows and their news shows unlike virtually all the rest of the MSM networks - especially including CNN and MSNBC.
Yes, their primetime lineup is all conservative opinion shows, but if you bother to watch their new shows (Bret Baier as an example) while being at least somewhat objective it is easy to see the difference.

Very good post, Grunt. I always enjoyed Walter. He was biased in things, I am sure, we all are to some degree but it didn't come across much from him. Typically when he took people to task, it was obvious, it was deserved. He was a calming influence to the country. It was almost like he was holding your hand to get through the bad spots, and we had plenty when I was growing up (Cuban missile crisis, riots in the 60s, Vietnam, Kennedy's assassination, etc.) And his influence and reflection of the country was palpable. There was the famous quote from Lyndon Johnson concerning I believe, Vietnam, something to the effect if I have lost Cronkite, I have lost the country.GruntTuff said:

Oh, and just so you know, that attempt there at Whataboutism, to cover for your apparent idol, is not just sad, but par for the leftist course. Indeed, Whataboutism is directly associated with Soviet and Russian propaganda. When criticisms were leveled at the Soviet Union during the Cold War, the Soviet response would often be "What about..." followed by an event in the Western world like slavery.
Since Cronkite sided with the Soviets so often, it's no surprise you would follow his example. But next time, try not to be so blatant about it. It's not a good look.
