My first answer is a question: "What if everyone else covered trump the way they covered Obama?"

First, I think you're conflating news and opinion/talk programming. Their acutla news is fairly straightforward. Their opinion/talk, not so much. I am not a Trump defender, I just realize Fox is in business to sell advertising. If everyone else is Trump bashing 24 hours a day, they are all splitting one audience. If fox is the only one not doing so, they get a huge audience pretty much to themselves. The results speak for themselves, and no matter what ideology the decision makers at Fox hold, they are doing the correct thing for their stockholders by maximizing their business.

Because no other President including Obama bully/exaggerate/mislead and outright lie everyday like Trump does. {nm} Antibody Apr 18, 08:47

I think you totally missed the point. When all your competition is sharing the same customers, it is smart business to forlorne Apr 18, 09:32

My point is answering your question. It's not possible to cover Trump the way they cover Obama. {nm} Antibody Apr 18, 09:38

...if they want to retain journalistic integrity. So you admit Faux News is just Trump propaganda. {nm} Antibody Apr 18, 09:42

The 1st to say that Trump's tactics are reprehensible, but Obama misled and lied far more. Would say 1 thing, do another. Eddie Haskell. PhoneHome Apr 18, 11:32

Well, you certainly hit all the Repub talking points w/o evidence to back it up. And then excuse Trumps 9000+ lies (to date) BSmurf Apr 18, 12:21

I will delete my port if you can prove Obama life even 1000 times. {nm} BSmurf Apr 18, 12:23

Don't delete your port. We need the comic relief! 1. "You can keep your doctor", 2. "Premiums didn't rise", PhoneHome Apr 18, 13:54

The current political strategy is based on deceiving, distorting, misleading and scaring people to vote for them. That strategy does not Catzan Apr 18, 14:18

Wrong, PolitiFact you sourced shows Trump lied far more than Obama. Antibody Apr 18, 16:21
