lol… I did. It’s called Fox News. Maybe if you flipped the channels from msnbc or cnn you might actually see ALL the news going on in the world today. Have you seen the scenes from the southern border. That is real. Have you seen the reports or scenes of the Afghanistan withdrawal. How about the reports how Joe Biden screwed over our oldest ally. (France). Kamala did call for more activism and they did donate money to bail out the looters. Just like her saying she would not trust any vaccines from the Trump administration. These are facts. Believe it or not. Well... Most conservatives are gainfully employed, and might not have been able to score time off while still in the busy season. many of the demonstrators that participated in the Jan. 6 event are still in jail waiting for their day in court. More than 8 months later while antifa can burn and loot cities and have their charges dropped. That’s your liberal justice system though. What a shame. Only 6% of those arrested remain in jail. I’d say out of 600+, the justice system is working. Whatever happened to the right to a speedy trial? I know it still happens, I got notified, called in to serve on a jury inside of a week, last year. 94%... and counting. 600+ people at relatively the same time is a tall order. Tell that to the last person in that line. Redrider is right , politics played a big part in their rights being ignored I believe the highest crime they could charge them with is trespassing or illegal entry . 8 mnts. Is a long time to spend in jail for trespassing after seeing the liberals make a mockery out of the American judicial system. Liberal members of congress collect and donate huge amounts of cash to bail out criminals that burned federal buildings and property , private property. Robbed and assaulted police, fireman, government officials and private citizens while the soon to be Vice President said she understood why they did what they did and even called for more. In the end their charges were dropped. Some folks just blow it off like it’s nothing. I wonder what their attitude will be if it ever happens to someone or something they care about. Oh Bart, I wish you’d find some unbiased places to get your news. Fox news.... enough said. lol FOX is flying drones in Del Rio, Texas ACTUALLY showing what is happening, They ACTUALLY have reporters on the ground showing what is happening in Del Rio. Is it biased to show the TRUTH???? Once again..... There were more reporters from "news outlets" at the DC rally than LEGAL protesters. In fact reporters outnumbered LEGAL protesters by a 2 to 1 margin. Number of reporters at the southern border in Del Rio, Texas compared to people who ILLEGALLY entered the country is about 1 reporter to 12,000 Illegal migrants. You can put LOL with your comments but you won't back your statement with FACTS. Are there biased personalities on FOX? Yes there are but they DON'T pretend to be "news reporters. Some do use ACTUAL news to defend their biases though. I don't watch Hannity for the same reason I don't watch Maddow, Cuomo or Don Lemon. All of them are so biased on;y an idiot doesn't see who and what they are. Don Lemon said during an interview with PBS' Margaret Hoover " I don’t do opinion. And I know — the difference for me is, I do point of view". Just how stupid does he think people are that they don't understand a point of view is an opinion?

The problem with biased news, on either side, is there’s too many people nowadays that can’t separate fact from fiction, news vs propaganda. I don’t subscribe to either side, they’re both way out of control.

Another perfect example of the liberal news outlets is them propagating the lie that border guards on horseback using whips on the immigrants trying to crossover the border. No whips,they were reigns for controlling the horse. Nobody was hit but since the administration has lost control of the border now they are blaming the guards to shift focus off the real tragedy at the border. Fox shows what’s really going on at the border, the Only reason cbs nbc cnn and the others are reporting on it now is because they looked like dumbasses being the only media not reporting the major cluster f##k at the border. Why be in the business of reporting news if you refuse to report news. Illogical.. but they are liberals.

I don’t subscribe to either side, they’re both way out of control. I'm completely with you. I watch news on both sides, as well as through international media. Then I make up my own mind.

That shows what the majority of the media wants the American people to see and MORE importantly what they DON'T Americans to see and know. Correctly said!

Plato's allegory of the Cave. If you're not familiar with it, google it, It's absolutely necessary before you engage in open political debate, period.

Too many people can't distinguish between ACTUAL news reporters and opinion personalities on supposed "news outlets" pretending to be "news reporters". You say you "don't subscribe to either side" but you ONLY mention FOX as being a "biased" news outlet. Why????

Here’s some facts I saw today on Fox News. You Will Not see this on msnbc or cnn…. Today a federal judge ruled against joe Biden trying to keep hundreds of hours of footage or evidence taken on Jan. 6. ( insurrection day) lol. From being released. Fox showed footage of the supposed worst attack on our republic since the civil war is what the lunatics on the left including the msm were saying… google it and watch for yourselves. If you can watch the videos and still think this was a bunch of anarchists trying to overthrow the government than you should be under the care of a psychiatrist. But notice the ones breaking the windows and making entry that way. Covers from head to toe in black trying to not reveal their ID. Strange how they were dressed unlike all of the rest of the folks that walked in the open doors. Could those be FBI agents that were reported to be mixed in with the crowd. Just saying.

I found an article about the judge blocking a suppression of videos. The argument was too much footage could provide too much information on the surveillance cameras, posing security risks. Although, denied, that seems reasonable. As far as those dressed all in black, I found where the proud boys claimed they weren’t wearing their colors of black and yellow on Jan 6, rather, all black. I do believe some of those involved were so passionate about trump, they had hoped to block the election counts.

All the lies while denying and ignoring the rampant corruption of hunter and the big man( joe). Sooner or later the truth will come out about the twenty plus years of their corruption although joe will probably be dead by then.

Went back and checked.....I believe YOU were the first person to mention FOX. In an earlier post you said "Oh Bart, I wish you’d find some unbiased places to get your news." Why didn't you cite any of the "unbiased" place to get news???? Please lets us know the places we can go for "unbiased" news you speak of so we will be as enlightened as you. (should I insert a LOL the way you did when you mentioned FOX in your next post??)

One person died, 138 were injured, 13 requiring hospitalization, a noose was erected, and $30m dollars in damage to the Capitol.

Why didn’t cops confront the looters and rioters that burnt and robbed the same way they confronted the Capitol protesters . Everybody knows why?

That was my only point, no need to deflect.

That was my only point, no need to deflect. no need to deflect? Are you serious. My point was that this whole story about Jan. 6 is a deflection from the truth . No Insurrection. No overthrow, just some good ole Americans voicing their opinion. Now the Dems. are working on another deflection of guards on horseback trying to stop people from invading the country while the Biden administration welcomes the invasion. It’s plain to see that no one was strapped or run over by horseback. It’s also plain to see that the Biden administration has nothing but lies and deception in their covey to run this country. They should be thankful we are not living in the 18th century because their level of lies, corruption, and dereliction of duty would surly be enough to have them hung or shot in a firing squad.

I don’t subscribe to either side, they’re both way out of control. it’s very noble of you to be so fair and balanced about this topic, but I think your missing the “ big picture”. and that would be the far left attitude that if you don’t agree with their side then you don’t have the right to disagree. Your are either call a racist or your shut out and silenced. There has always been biased news reports and reporters but that’s a far cry from what we have now. And it’s trickling up to the highest positions in the liberal party. I.e.Biden saying anti vaxers are a pandemic and killing others. Or kamala saying the “ cowboys on horseback whipping black people. What a shameful ignorant individual she is. You say both sides… I agree to a point but the far left democrats have made it the disgusting entity it is now.

To be fair, the video of those Border agents charging Haitian immigrants was bizarre and upsetting. Dude just walking and nearly getting trampled.
