Steven, cite specific examples with the evidence to back up what you wrote. And why you're doing that, if you can, consider the fact that CNN differentiates its commentary from its reporting, something that Fox generally does does not. In other words, Fox consistently has its commentators offering their opinions as their reporting. Do you even comprehend the difference? I doubt it. I'll give you a few examples of the latter from my look at Fox tonight. Here ya go: "Obstruction of Justice! "How the deep state risked national security to protect the Democrats." I kid you not. Or, how about: "There's real news about Hillary Clinton and everybody missed it"! These are just a few of the daily examples of the crap that you probably buy, hook, line and sinker...

Steven,
While your link didn't work for me I can see the gist of it. That whole thing is still being reviewed by a third party retained by the church so we don't know what the outcome is yet. I've looked for it and it's still under review from I can find on the internet. The bottom line on that interaction has yet to be reached so the reporting on one side or the other may yet prove to be true or false.

What the hell are you talking about? One of them is(was) an editor! View the video in the link in the initial post of this thread. They have every right to express their opinions without fear of reprisal or suppression and these two resigned over their ideological difference with the website but they weren't fired over them but it appears others may have been. In the meantime, I see Fox is actually identifying its opinion pieces at such but they appear to substantially outnumber the reporting on political matters so ya gotta look closely to know what you're reading.
ps let us know when one of those kids prevails in their libel suit...

Do you think you have a right to stand outside your employer's office with a sign that says "this place is the worst, it sucks and don't spend your money here" because you THINK you have Freedom of speech at work and that your 1st amendment applies?

If you do, then you are more ignorant than I thought you were.  

P.S.  Go tell Ward Churchill that he has a right to say whatever he wants to at work.  
Obviously the commentator and the editor in question don't agree with you...

What are you talking about? He knows more than the generals. He knows he surrounds himself "with the best people". In fact the list goes on and on:

Dude, he knows and knows...

Tony,
That's being a bit disrespectful to the conservative members of this forum who believe Trump when he says he knows more than the experts, including them. Some of them have sensitive feelings...

Well Darian, I'm pleased to see a report that helps attenuate your doomsday prophecy:

Darian, that's true, of course, especially if some radical get his hands on one and wants satisfaction and his 72 virgins in a flash of a sunlight. But you're probably more likely to be a victim of a priest than an A-Bomb...
