Title: WTF is going on at Fox News
Post by: Straw Man on March 21, 2017, 09:49:53 AM
They just sidelined Andrew Napolitano for his bogus wire tap claim

This must be confusing as shit for everyone at Faux News since passing off unsubstantiated bullshit as "news" as been their raison d'etre since day one

Fox had regular reporter Shep Smith say they had no proof and they wouldn't confirm Judge Nap's Brit intell tale.
They had to let the judge go, because this story went international.

Sheppard Smith has been basically interviewing for CNN anyway so who gives a crap what he thinks

Yeah, poor Judge Andy

He does he same thing everyone at Faux News has done since Day 1 but suddenly making shit up and presenting it as fact is now out of fashion

Very much agree...why teh change now?..seems like this is one of the few times they were caught in a big public lie even by the republican party.....Andrew was OBVIOUSLY lying when he said "I have three sources from the intelligence ommunity who confirmed that Obama used the British to spy on Trump"...

Those sources must be the same sources that told Trump about finding "unbelievable evidence" that Obama's birth certificate had been faked

Have you scheduled your welfare funded Gastric Bypass yet to be followed by a prison stint in which you will petition for gender re-assignment so when you come out of prison for food stamp fraud you can marry Straw-Fag and have Howard officiate the ceremony in the Poconos?

this happened the day after Comey testified so (I think) it's obvious that Fox news had to do something to maintain the facade that they are a "news" organization.

He's a reporter. He reports facts. He doesn't have an opinion. You do grasp the notion of editorial vs news, don't you?

Sheppard Smith is about as even keeled as you can get.

He's also one of the few actual journalists left in news at all.

How you can try to denigrate him is beyond comprehension.

He used to be good and somewhat entertaining to watch before Trump, you can tell his disdain for Trump almost from the time he started campaigning until and even now after the election. I even believe Chris Wallace called him out on it as well.

Yep, definitely one of the few at Fox. Brett Baier reported the exact same thing Shep said, but he's probably in the bag for CNN, too.

Apparently honesty is unheard of anymore.

If you're honest, you must be "in the bag".

They have more than a few who are straight shooters, including Shep, Baier, Britt Hume, Wallace, Juan Williams, etc.

Agreed. They have some solid players if you look at the journalists and not just the entertainers.

Take Brit Hume off that list.  I don't agree with Krathammer on most if not all issues, but he is
usually pretty honest and willing to call a spade a spade.

Didn't the news from yesterday vindicate Napolitano?  Is that exactly what he said happened?  I'm not 100% sure because I haven't been paying that close of attention but it sounded like it to me.
