Bear Market...

Mel,
Here's Hannity denying he's a journalist:

Here he is stating the opposite:

I believe we would be better served if Fox News disclosed to its viewers what is its opinions are on any given subject versus the facts. Fox News also needs to do what it once said it did: "fair and balanced".
I do feel it's noteworthy that Chris Wallace went after Trump's lawyer and Neapolitino ripped Fox and Friends on Trump's hush money payments and called the manner in which it happened as a "crime" so perhaps there's some hope for both sides to be heard.

Bear Market...

Posted By Rod Kaufman

Obama got us out of a bear market. Trump just got us into one:
https://www.cnn.com/2018/11/19/investing/stocks-bear-market-morgan-stanley/index.html
Trump's financial advisor, Kudlow, has one thing going for him. He's been wrong in every financial prediction he's ever made. The one with China, a major factor in the market meltdown, continues to suck for everyone. 
I hope I don't have to post Obama got us out of a recession while Trump got us into one but time will tell. Oh, and nobody got indicted in Obama's administration, either...

Hillary Clinton On Migration

Posted By Rod Kaufman

She's recognizing reality:

And in accordance with other countries:

The Arab countries in the middle east have to recognize the same reality and step up to the plate and do their fair share in absorbing refugees. It's long overdue...

Darian,
That's right, stick your head in the sand. I'm surprised you're not referencing the deep state conspiracy, Hannity, Rush or Trump, all experts on global warming along with Rich...

The Federal Government's Report On Climate Change

Posted By Rod Kaufman

I know it's hard to believe but they even posted it on Fox News!
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/climate-report-warns-of-grim-economic-consequences-more-weather-disasters-in-us
On other Fox News, you'll see its ownership:

Plus a Fox News bonus!

Fair and balanced!

To be quite honest, I think that a coronal mass ejection is the greatest threat facing the human race from nature. I think you know the possible consequences from that, and there is nothing the human race can do to prevent those consequences.
Ok Darian, inform the feds...

Darian,
You might want to rethink that after reading what NOAA scientists are telling us:
