Politcal Memes, etc

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

Okay, let's see what Fox has to say about dat dere...

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/dems-l ... erformance

"'Dems look unhinged': Conservatives rally around RFK Jr's 'masterclass' confirmation hearing performance"

Oh... nothing!

They don't even mention the nutter Caroline Kennedy, and rightly so.

Meanwhile CNN keys in on her bizarre use of the word "predator".

(more propaganda from CNN)

Going by Caroline's definition of "predator" I suppose she thinks every politician in history is a predator.

Wait, Caroline herself was a politician, I guess she's a "predator" as well.

Y'see Cheffy Poo, this is why everyone is laughing at CNN these days...

Fox?

They should create a leaderboard to post settlement payments made by each network, if they did of course Fox would be the clear leader assuming Newsmax's settlement payment was less than the nearly $1 Billion Fox payout...

Speaking of the Fox settlement payment, under oath they admitted that they do not report fact as much as they tell their listeners what they want to hear....

Their hosts claim to be opinion shows which allows them to operate on a fine line and not get sued...

Roger Ailes was a genius at creating a news network with the goal of having his chosen one elected President of the US which is how we got Trump...

He took a house painter and made him one of the largest paid and most influential media persons in the world...

Left leaning outlets like CNN are amateurs in comparison and far too passive as evidenced by their minor settlement payments as compared to the Fox and the Jones settlement payments...

I have both right and left leaning outlets on my moring reading list, its a sad commentary that neither will give us just the facts without spinning them one way or the other to appease their readers or viewers..

Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

On this, I concur 100%. It seems all news outlets cherry pick what parts of a news item they want to highlight and what parts they ignore. In some cases where a story is contrary to their slant, they will not report on it at all. You pretty much have to read both left and right leaning news items to get the a semblance of whole story.

Not sure why you would make that assumption.

That Fox settlement was $787M.

CNN settled with Devin Nunes for $435M.

CNN settled with Nick Sandmann for $275M.

So we're already close without doing research.

(which as you infer, would be difficult to do)

You claim to be neutral, but forgive me if I smell a Leftster...

This is all cut and pasted;
No, Devin Nunes did not win a $435 million settlement with CNN. In December 2019, Nunes filed a defamation lawsuit against CNN, seeking $435 million in damages, alleging that the network falsely reported he had met with a former Ukrainian prosecutor to gather information on Joe Biden. However, the lawsuit was dismissed by a federal judge in February 2021 due to insufficient evidence of reputational or financial harm and Nunes's failure to request a retraction before filing the suit. An appeal to revive the lawsuit was also rejected in April 2022
No, CNN did not settle with Nick Sandmann for $275 million. Nick Sandmann, a former Covington Catholic High School student, sued CNN for defamation in 2019, seeking $275 million in damages. However, the lawsuit was settled in January 2020 for an undisclosed amount. The actual settlement figure was never made public.

Similar lawsuits against The Washington Post and NBC were also settled for undisclosed amounts. Other lawsuits Sandmann filed against media outlets, such as The New York Times and CBS, were dismissed.

Maybe you should do some research ...

And let's not forget the $2.7 Billion action against Fox by Smartmatic that has been allowed to proceed...
