Did he say they have the "right" to use PayPal?  Clip was cut off. He is right they do have free speech.  I know what an asshole. 

I cant decide whether to admire your cojones for leading the Trumpkin cause on Cohen Day or titter politely behind my handkerchief and look embarrassed for you.

This was a serious post.  Because I sense the post was complete bullshit and Tucker never said they have the right to use PayPal.  Focus.  I know you're giddy today.  

I may have snorted too much Adderall. I am trying to gain a Trumpkin perspective.

It's not like this hasn't been pointed out before but it always bears repeating. Fox News isn't like the other news outlets. 

As Murdoch’s relations with the White House have warmed, so has Fox’s coverage of Trump. During the Obama years, Fox’s attacks on the President could be seen as reflecting the adversarial role traditionally played by the press. With Trump’s election, the network’s hosts went from questioning power to defending it. Yochai Benkler, a Harvard Law School professor who co-directs the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society, says, “Fox’s most important role since the election has been to keep Trump supporters in line.” The network has provided a non-stop counternarrative in which the only collusion is between Hillary Clinton and Russia; Robert Mueller, the special counsel, is perpetrating a “coup” by the “deep state”; Trump and his associates aren’t corrupt, but America’s law-enforcement officials and courts are; illegal immigration isn’t at a fifteen-year low, it’s “an invasion”; and news organizations that offer different perspectives are “enemies of the American people.”

Benkler’s assessment is based on an analysis of millions of American news stories that he and two co-authors, Robert Faris and Hal Roberts, undertook for their 2018 book, “Network Propaganda: Manipulation, Disinformation and Radicalization in American Politics.” Benkler told me that he and his co-authors had expected to find “symmetric polarization” in the left-leaning and the right-leaning media outlets. Instead, they discovered that the two poles of America’s media ecosystem function very differently. “It’s not the right versus the left,” Benkler says. “It’s the right versus the rest.”

Most American news outlets try to adhere to facts. When something proves erroneous, they run corrections, or, as Benkler and his co-authors write, “they check each other.” Far-left Web sites post as many bogus stories as far-right ones do, but mainstream and liberal news organizations tend to ignore suspiciously extreme material.

Conservative media outlets, however, focus more intently on confirming their audience’s biases, and are much more susceptible to disinformation, propaganda, and outright falsehoods (as judged by neutral fact-checking organizations such as PolitiFact). Case studies conducted by the authors show that lies and distortions on the right spread easily from extremist Web sites to mass-media outlets such as Fox, and only occasionally get corrected.

Also, the article is too kind to Fox. They've been a de facto propaganda arm of the Republican Party since Dubya was in office. Their current coordination (collusion?) with the White House is just another example of Trump taking a Bush/Cheney precedent and turning it up to 11. 

This feels like a good time to link to my post on Fox in the Donald Trump thread.

Bring back the Fairness Doctrine.

It's pretty fair to say that, without the "Fox effect,"   neither Trump nor Brexit would have won.

Britain/Theresa May are now working to carry out Rupert Murdoch's agenda.  That's some fucked-up shit.

Holy crap this has to be the first time a "news organization" hasn't run a news story because it didn't fit their narrative or would do harm to someone they supported. Nope, that has never happened before. 

Sadly it's pretty par for the course.

Rupert Murdoch's ex, Wendy Deng Murdoch, is Vladimir Putins' girlfriend and Ivanka Trump's best friend.
 

I’ve always been skeptical on the bolded part but you forgot to mention the most significant information about Wendy Deng Murdoch...

She is a Chinese spy.

Their whole style blows my mind...big headline (that may be an opinion piece), then 4-5 further sub items all reinforcing various angles of the roughly same story. It’s designed to make you think it’s a monster news item or scandal

jesus christ. that's the first video clip i've watched of hannity in some time. 

i had taken yall's word that he was in the bag for trump, but holy fuck, that is some disingenuous bullshit.

I'm thinking the amount of water Hannity is carrying for Trump is having a coordinating water retention factor in Hannity's body.
