    What does the pandemic have to do with the "security of the United States?"

    You're talking about his COVID rhetoric?

    I'm talking about NATIONAL, not regional. And is PBS one of the Big 5? Either way, other than PBS, every other Big 5 network promoted Obama, Clinton and Biden.

    Who knows what you are talking about. You provided a video of Hannity where he slanders the MSM (not realizing he works for MSM) and showing a still picture of a man (produced by Project Veritas, - a known propaganda outlet). So, basically there is a picture of an unknown person and a voice saying stuff, and people are supposed to assume the voice belongs to the guy in the photo and that the words are legit. Seems like a classic Project Veritas propaganda piece. Believe it if you wish. I am more of a critical thinker, so I take such sources with a football size grain of salt.

    Your video it titled "Founder James O'Keefe joins 'Hannity' with insight into leaked tapes", and when you watch the video, you will see what I described.

    Slandered? Yes. Call them "vicious white supremacists?" No. That's absurd.

    ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, Fox, Fox News, PBS, CNBC, Bloomberg ... I'll stop because there are already more than five.
    There is no "Big 5," but PBS is national.
    I don't think that was true in 2008 or 2012. In 2016, there was concern about Trump, as there should have been.

    Do you think that because you have listed more than five, this means that there is no 'Big 5?' MSNBC and NBC are the one corporation, as is Fox and Fox News.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mainstream_media#The_"Big_five"

    Are you serious? First black President? Certainly 2012, but perhaps not 2008.

    So you at least acknowledge that in 2016 they promoted Clinton?

    What actions are you saying that he should've taken but didn't take?

    You're totally confused. I did not reference a video titled, "Founder James O'Keefe joins 'Hannity' with insight into leaked tapes." Somehow you have come across a story from December. When I Google, "Founder James O'Keefe joins 'Hannity' with insight into leaked tapes", I get this only matching result: https://news.yahoo.com/project-veritas-releases-first-wave-030908994.html

    Here is the ACTUAL story: https://www.foxnews.com/media/cnn-staffer-networks-trump-office-coverage-propaganda

    The guy on the camera is a CNN Director. He said that the network's focus was to "get Trump out of office."

    The "somehow came across" is answered by reading the OP, where the link is found.

    Its the same link. It is labeled "Founder James O'Keefe joins 'Hannity' with insight into leaked tapes exposing how CNN protects Democrats.". There is no "guy on camera". There is a still picture of a person, and a voice saying things, and the viewers are led to believe the picture is of someone from CNN, and the voice belongs to the same person and the voice "admits" to some scandalous act.

    You are free to believe anything you want. I am more skeptical when it comes to stories offered by known propaganda outlets.

    You've been played.

    Oh, you mean the embedded video at the top of the page. No, that's unrelated to this story. It happens a lot in articles. Its very annoying. It's CRIMINAL actually. Anyway, further down the page is this video:

    Knowing Project Veritas track record "Charlie Chester" aka "CNN Director" is most likely fictional character invented by Project Veritas. They even opened a fake LinkedIn account for him.

    Have you forgotten Republicans, including McCain, created the housing and credit mess that created a really nasty recession?
    "Promoted" in what sense? They didn't tell us much about Trump's dishonest business operations, or his reported attacks on women.

    On my TV lineup there are 5 24/7/365 news networks. 356, MSNBC, 358, CNN, 360, FOX, 349, NEWSMAX and 347, OAN. Out of those 5, three of them are total Trump right wing shill networks. That kind of blows your whiney premise out of the water.

    Oh yes, because if there really wasn't a Charlie Chester who worked for CNN, I'm SURE that CNN wouldn't have released a statement saying that nobody by that name works for them! :roflol:

    Exactly. Glad to see that you acknowledge that CNN is part of the Democratic Party.
