If Trump had said this in a private call to Russian leaders that's a different story. This public comment was clearly made in jest. It was ONLY "clearly" when Trump made up that excuse several days LATER. NO ONE was laughing when he said that, LEAST OF ALL Trump. He confirmed that he REALLY WANTED to SEE Hillary's emails in a FOLLOW UP QUESTION from Katy Tur. Trump cult members are truly gullible to believe ANYTHING Trump says. ㊙️ publicly admitted crimes are STILL crimes. 3 hours ago, ironstone said: News organizations push stories that they hope will attract attention and gain viewers or readers. You're crapping all over FOX for this story while ignoring all the other news outlets for falsely pushing Russian collusion even when they knew it wasn't true. One CNN contributor did admit it, to his credit. How do YOU KNOW "it wasn't true"? Do you know how hard it is to prove a negative? The Republican led Senate Intelligence Committee Report DETAILED how and when Manafort colluded with Russian agent Kilimnik AND how HE shared that data with the Mueller indicted IRA. 3 hours ago, ironstone said: CNN's Van Jones Calls Trump-Russia Story 'Nothing Burger,' Newest Project Veritas Video Shows (newsweek.com) They flogged this story for years. False stories are not rare in the news industry. "Hands up, don't shoot" is another whopper.

I don’t have the patience to listen to an opinionated right-wing windbag prattle on his YouTube Channel for twenty minutes about conspiracy theories and rumors. When you post a link to the article, “Van Jones said X”, that is something I can follow and verify. If it’s objective fact, it’s verifiable. That’s why you’ll almost never get me to watch one of the YouTube links you post. It takes forever and it’s rarely objective fact, it’s just a guy talking.

robosmith Posted February 21, 2023 Author Report Posted February 21, 2023 Why Fox News Lied to Its Viewers Quote The network’s hosts and leaders knew that Trump had lost the election, but feared the consequences of telling their audience the truth. Fox News lies to its viewers. Its most prominent personalities, among the most influential in the industry, tell their viewers things they know not to be true. This is not accusation, allegation, or supposition. Today, we know it to be fact. Early in the Trump era, news organizations were torn over whether to refer to Donald Trump’s false statements as lies, because it is difficult to know an individual’s state of mind, to know what they know. In the throes of insecurity, ideological conviction, or carelessness, people can make statements that are false without malicious intent. The argument over what a person knows to be true or false can take on a metaphysical aspect. Sometimes, though, you have proof that someone knew one thing and said another. With Fox News, examples of the network’s commitment to knowingly misleading its viewers abound. There was the irresponsible hyping of anti-vaccine propaganda even as it imposed a vaccine mandate on its employees. There were the text messages from Fox hosts released by the January 6 committee showing that they saw Trump as responsible for inspiring the mob that sacked the Capitol, even as they defended him on air and downplayed the significance of the event.
