You have to admit they have a successful operation. Every election cycle where republicans are in power. Taxes are reduced. The rich get richer and the poor poorer. Deficits increase, programs get cut and blame get stuck to democrats.Labeling democrats as elitist. Having a national propaganda media network like FOX. Has created more billionaires in America than any other program or political system. Democrats just refuse to recognize whats successful. CNN needs to throw out the ideas that news needs any basis in fact. Between 2014 and 2018 the richest 25 Americans paid a net tax rate of 3.4%. While their net worth went up $385 billion. Yet republicans have branded themselves as the party of the poor working stiff.

Open border policy backfires as Hispanics move to the Right
Phil1111 replied to brenthutch's topic in Speakers Corner
In his defense. A month with nothing but Truth Social, FOX, Hannity, etc. Stuffing the mind with B.S. like a teenager on a Doritos binge. -
When ascertaining where the thinking of certain trump supporters comes from. Its usually FOX. Certain SC posters love and worship FOX broadcasters. Anytime I criticize FOX its as if I attacked their mother. On the right sources of thinking are fiercely protected so its useful sometimes to get the lies right from the source.Think teat of a cow.

“What this lawsuit reveals is that today’s Fox News is the same old Fox News,” said attorney Douglas Wigdor in announcing the lawsuit’s filing. “Some of the names in leadership may have changed since Roger Ailes’ regime, but Fox News’ institutional apathy towards sexual misconduct has not.” No wonder its trump's favorite channel. All the players getting a piece of the action, no pun intended.

Open border policy backfires as Hispanics move to the Right
Phil1111 replied to brenthutch's topic in Speakers Corner
"Open border policy backfires as Hispanics move to the Right" Why are you Always wrong? TODAY: Three fifths of all Latinos believe that the republican party is comprised of racists. Ninety percent believe that dreamers should get citizenship. Two thirds oppose the border wall. Three fifths believe is stricter gun laws. Two thirds believe that abortion should be legal in most situations. SC should have an award for the most dedicated FOX loving poster I nominate you. -
Hasn't their messaging already been been blended into FOX and Friends?

trump has stated again and again that he watches FOX. He quotes them, phones into their shows, hires their employees, has a bromance with the owner, and reacts to every direction that they lead. FOX crafts the debate for the right and each of the network's debate leaders has the Murdoch right wing agenda. Currently its support trump and the GOP propaganda. If the right thought for itself and could separate b.s. from facts. If trump stopped following each wag of the tail of the FOX like Pavlov's dog. The analogy you attempt to use may have merit. It would even happen if the GOP and trump discussed policy, which of course they don't.

FOX, Hannity, et al;have moved on a bit. But typical Brent. First the economy is failing(at 6% GDP growth), then prices are rising(robust demand), then he can't explain why there are millions of unfulfilled jobs in America. Can't explain why the stock market is up 12% since President Biden won. The talking points of the FOX /right are parroted by Brent. All a part of the right wing news cycle.Where growth, employers bidding up wages are skipped and Hillary's e-mails covered by Hannity at 6:00 P.M.

No its sad how FOX has so benumbed common sense. That when a simple miscalculation is made its not instantly obvious that the calculation must be in error. That you reexamine the calculations until it makes sense. That the rationale of FOX and the conservative right can so corrupt science. Scientists all over the world are the most trusted profession. Politicians the least. Yet for the US right, for trumpists, b.s. is lapped up like bourbon at a GOP convention.

With gas prices at $5 a gallon, Biden tells oil companies to cut costs for Americans Biden blasts oil refiners for record profits on pain at the pump Tucker Carlson: The price of US gas now qualifies as a catastrophe in which he blames Biden just like Brent will do shortly. So FOX defends big oil price gouging and the GOP blames the president. All just pandering to the base while the consumer is F*#ked. It plays well in midterms to blame gas prices on Biden. probably his age.

and in America they get richer and richer as the decades go by. While minorities make no progress. and America remains the most unequal country among the G-7 America, wins the hunger games. You can thank Rupert Murdoch for that. With runner up awards to FOX.

Yes today its announced US GDP growth at 6.4% under the first quarter of President Biden's administration. Since "V" day 2020, i.e. US election day, the US stock market is up 19% Covid is starting to retreat into history...Meanwhile the right spreads false rumors about the government limiting meat consumption. Too bad truth and facts on FOX are difficult issues to understand. Because after all FOX knows its market.

Agree. The problem with "illegal immigration", properly called undocumented immigrants. Is a refusal of congress to have a meeting of minds to deal with it. As Bill suggested report at the border and after security checks get in line with temporary work visas. Hire immigration officials and judges to deal with the issue in a timely fashion. As drought, global warming, recession ads fuel to the fire of gang violence and drug cartels. S. Americans will come in bigger numbers and that feeds the Murdoch's/GOP narrative. But since 1994 the number of Americans who are anti-immigrant has declined by about 1/2. It's FOX and the GOP that want to paint the issue as a big one. This is the latest PEW polling to 2021.

Latest on FOX - Comey planned to assassinate Trump!
Phil1111 replied to billvon's topic in Speakers Corner
That would be kinda hypocritical though, since it why they put him on the show in the first place. They know he's a nut, but he's their kinda nut. FOX knows their shrinking audience, stupid white bigoted men. This is the feature story on FOX news, TODAY: Hillary Clinton popularity hits all-time low, poll shows Hillary Clinton’s approval ratings have hit an all-time low, reflecting the sustained scrutiny the former secretary of state and 2016 Democratic presidential nominee continues to face even after her election loss. According to a new Gallup Poll measuring Clinton’s favorability from Dec. 4 through Dec. 11, Clinton’s rating is down 5 points since June -- to just 36 percent. Her unfavorable rating is at 61 percent, a new high. President Trump's numbers are in about the same place. The survey show Trump's favorability at 35 percent during the same time period. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/12/20/hillary-clinton-popularity-hits-all-time-low-poll-shows.html On other news: Trump’s Popularity Is Plummeting—Even Among Fox News Viewers President Donald Trump loves Fox News, but fans of the conservative-leaning network are starting to like him a lot less. In June, 90 percent of respondents in a Suffolk University poll who said they trust Fox over other news networks viewed Trump favorably, but by October, approval had fallen to 74 percent, The Washington Post reported Thursday. It then plummeted to 58 percent in December. That’s a 32-point drop in six months. http://www.newsweek.com/trumps-popularity-plummeting-even-among-fox-news-viewers-748765 -
Too much FOX will have you believe that FOX employs journalists. That FOX activism protects, promotes and safeguards the republic.. Is the Praetor for republicans. The brains of trump so to speak.

Someone on FOX suggested that inflation was President Bidens fault and Brent went all atizzy. Inflation is higher in the US because everyone who wants a job is working and there are 11 million plus unfilled jobs. All those workers are spending money like its on fire. The US unemployment rate is 3.6, Spain's is 13.6, Italy 8.4, Germany 5 and the Euro area 6.8. Agree

trump "Mission Accomplished" Revise History, Move On
Phil1111 replied to Phil1111's topic in Speakers Corner
Speaking of which the FOX motion to dismiss is likely to be heard in the next couple days. Fox News Faces Lawsuit For Calling COVID-19 A ‘Hoax’ The first such consumer-protection complaint came from the Washington League for Increased Transparency and Ethics (WASHLITE) on Thursday, which named Murdoch,__ Fox News, AT&T, Comcast, and other related entities as defendants" From The Hill: trump is moving on, C-19 is officially over: "The decision to disband the task force, which includes medical experts, public health officials and leaders from various government agencies, is the clearest indicator yet that the White House is ready to turn the page to focus on the economy, even as doing so could lead to a spike in infections." -
Lavrov: Russia is not squeaky clean and not ashamed Brent/FOX/trump: Republicans are not squeaky clean and not ashamed.

US refiners are banking massive profits in 2022. "Oil exploration is down from its 2014 high because the largest oil exploration companies are opting to divert their cash to shareholders in the form of dividends, share buybacks, and debt paydowns rather than exploring for more oil. For instance, according to Bloomberg, in February, Occidental announced a $3 billion buyback program and a $5 billion paydown of its nearly $28 billion debt load. To be fair, for the overall industry, the number of rigs drilling for oil has increased 60% to 574 in the last year — which is nevertheless down some 64% from its 2014 high of 1,609, according to Baker Hughes BHI -5.5% .... the gap between the price that refineries pay for oil and what they charge for gasoline — is a very wide 60%, according to the Journal. Sanctions against Russia could remove 1.4 million barrels per days of gasoline from the global supply. The result is higher refinery profits. For example, East Coast gasoline margins are up five-fold in the last two years — approaching $50 a barrel, noted the Journal. with its shares up 87% in 2022 — is Valero Energy which “engages in the manufacture and marketing of transportation fuels and other petrochemical products.” ... In the first quarter of 2022, Valero reported revenues up 89% to $37 billion — 20% more than analysts expected. Its profits soared 229% to $905 million — up 168% from the year before. " Oil refineries are making nearly five times as much money from refining petrol as they did year ago, data show. "Figures from the data company Refinitiv show how the business of refining oil has become so profitable in the past year. On the 8 June 2021, refiners were making $9.26 per barrel from refining petrol, and $6.84 per barrel refining diesel. On Wednesday, they were making $43.11 on petrol, up 366%, and $51.13 on diesel, up 648%. Figures published by BP, which owns a number of refineries in Europe and the US, shows its own measure of refining profits, the ‘Refining Marker Margin’, up from $7.7 dollars per barrel to $35.7 over the past year. US oil giant ExxonMobil owns a number of refineries, including Fawley in Hampshire, the UK’s largest. Last month the Financial Times quoted its chief executive Darren Woods as saying he did not think that the “very, very high margin environment” was “good for economies around the world.” Just as a tiger can't change its stripes. Brent just can't get past FOX talking points. i.e. Biden is responsible for gas prices.

Well the GOP is painting itself in its true colors. "Carl P. Paladino, a Republican running for a House seat in Western New York, praised Adolf Hitler last year for inspiring his followers, describing the fascist dictator as “the kind of leader we need today.” "he was impressed by how the German leader and head of the Nazi Party “aroused the crowd.“He would get up there screaming these epithets and these people were just, they were hypnotized by him,”. He previously stated that children should not be “brainwashed” into thinking that being gay was acceptable and suggested that Michelle Obama, the former first lady, should be “let loose in the outback of Zimbabwe.” Coming soon Paladino as a GOP presidential candidate. With FOX approval.

I agree. But there is the separate issue of Brexit The populist ideals and benefits of which were sold as a panacea for all that ailed the UK. There is a non-rational, non-thinking segment of any population that falls for the sucker born every minute.idealism of populist leaders. FOX isn't a news network and coverage of the hearings. Would interfere with pandering to the ignorant and to ongoing distractions from real news

Contrary to FOX these are the issues.

Post trump Legal Actions, Including his Enablers
Phil1111 replied to Phil1111's topic in Speakers Corner
Former trump AG Bill Barr authorized the FBI to continue this investigation several times. According to a NYT reporters interview. So it evidently has legs. Tucker Carlson furious at Matt Gaetz for including him in sex scandal defense: report "While appearing on Carlson's Fox News program on Tuesday, Gaetz defended himself against allegations of sex trafficking by mentioning sexual misconduct allegations that were made against the Fox News host. Gaetz noted that he was "not the only person on screen right now who's been falsely accused of a terrible sex act." -
Thanks for the more detailed response. I will try to point out a few positions in error. The so called MSM that trump supporters love to attack. Have to sell advertising. They have markets that they have to appeal to. Broadly speaking they have to appeal to the majorities of Americans. The center and to the right-left of the spectrum. There are no major newspapers in the US that outright support trump. AKA FOX. FOX is the only outlet that unabashedly will support most every lie and position he establishes. I agree that CNN will bash and attack every position trump maintains. That their journalists phrase their questions to solicit responses derogatory of trump, details at 0600. But they seldom lie. When they make a mistake in fact they usually correct it. They invite trump apologists to air their views. FOX does not. ABC, CBS, Time magazine, US news, let alone BBC, etc. To read your logic they all have journalists out to smear trump. Sorry to disappoint you. Thats not the case. IMO the hard core trump base, 28-32% of the US population will support trump regardless of what he does. Then there is another 25%, more or less that doesn't follow every twist, turn of Washington and media coverage of politics. That support him from time to time. "Put political 'stuff' aside requires an an ability to reach across the political divide for common objectives. Again and again trump has spoken about doing exactly that. Only to change his mind when his base attacks such compromise. In addition he refuses to recognize that all sides can be "winners" in a negotiation. For him he has to see victory in a negotiation.Or at least paint a loss as a victory. Instead of interjecting himself into the daily C-19 press conference. He could leave it up to Pence.To medical professionals. Thats who he appointed to lead the response. He could chair a daily conference with democrats and republicans. To craft a united response to the fiscal needs of America.The medical response that America needs. Unfortunately that type of leadership runs contrary to his objectives of November 2. Currently the election is the only thing that matters to him. It also runs contrary to his inherent need to have the spotlight solely on himself.

A person that supports Putin and Russia. Supports "Tucker Carlson Has Become Obsessed With Hungary. Here’s What He Doesn’t Understand. For Hungarians, Carlson’s anti-Soros tirades are nothing new. But they offer a big boost to Viktor Orbán’s re-election campaign." How Tucker Carlson and the far right embraced Hungary’s authoritarian leader Why? Just follow the money: "More than $65 million of that will go to a privately managed education foundation that last year hosted the Fox News host Tucker Carlson at a festival of right-wing pundits in Hungary. It has also provided stipends and fellowships to conservative Americans and Europeans looking for a safe haven from what they bemoan as the spread of “cancel culture” back home. Some of them featured this week at the first Hungarian edition of the Conservative Political Action Conference, or CPAC, a gathering of the right wing of American politics. The event, at which Mr. Orban gave the keynote speech, opened in Budapest on Thursday under the slogan “God, Homeland, Family.” Hungary has for years served as a beacon for foreign conservatives who admire Mr. Orban’s hostility to immigrants, L.G.B.T.Q. rights, George Soros and liberals" Money from Putin flowing directly to Carlson to fund racist, right wing ideology. Who'da thunk it!
