    Fox News is one example of a news organization that is editorially mostly conservative, but that is still doing real journalism, i.e. doing investigation, verification, utilizing on the record sources, and giving both sides to every story.

    ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC have been editorially left of center for decades, but they once did real journalism, i.e. doing investigation, verification, utilizing on the record sources, and giving both sides to every story. They no longer do but every one of them uses the assigned talking points, code words, and citing unnamed sources to the point nothing much that they report these days should be considered credible by any thinking person. And because they are uniforming DNC surrogates and attack machines going after the President and anybody associated with him with unverified sources and pure propaganda, and do it so dishonestly and intentionally maliciously, yes, they are an enemy of the people.

    Too bad two people I dislike were running. Women are obviously just as good of being a President or any office as a man. Someday, it will happen, but I've never liked the Clintons. I recognize their talent and can give them credit as credit is due, but I just don't like them and I certainly don't like tRump.

    Anyone who calls the free press the enemy of the people must hate freedom. Cleary Trump and his supporters must take joy in wiping their ass with the Constitution.

    Try a reality check. There really isn't enough news to keep someone interested for long and all those shows need something entertaining enough to keep someone watching it. Fox is far from fair and balanced. It's flat out propaganda.

    I wouldn't know how to find out.

    But this Celebration of America was about a lot more than the fireworks.

    Im guessing you have some military background based on your comments (tracers, etc)

    If you are, you KNOW this is about more than fireworks.

    A press that is a slavish surrogate and propaganda machine for a political party is not a free press.

    I was stationed at Camp Lejeune and saw it long ago. As I recall, it was word of mouth, somebody just suggested seeing it.

    Journalism was my primary college major and i have worked in the media as an investigative reporter. I have been a long time media watcher. Fox News does an excellent job of reporting all the news and providing both sides of the news. I defy anybody to detect the political leanings of any Fox News people reporting the straight news on any breaking story and they try to get it right. Their sources are almost always on the record.
    ,
    And they are pretty much the only major news source that is reporting on all the good things happening in the country right now. All the others are pretty much non stop denigrating and insulting the President, his adiministration, and the country.

    It's a hell of a lot more balanced than CNN and MSNBC, or even CBS,ABC. which leans so far left they could tip over. I heard neither broadcast the 4th of July calibration in Washington. Also heard one, or both didn't broadcast Trump's kick off of his bid for a second term. Trump has done a lot of stuff that if done by any Democrat it would make front page news. It's not even mentioned on their news casts.

    Would still like to see it.

    Back to the question you didn't answer.

    This is about a lot more than fireworks.

    Agreed. Tired of all these double standards. Up is not down.

    All of that to deny the obvious: There is no such thing as a simple political poll.
    Not good for the credibility thingy.

    “After projecting a relatively easy victory for Hillary Clinton with all the certainty of a calculus solution, news outlets like The New York Times, The Huffington Post and the major networks scrambled to provide candid answers.

    With a new administration about to take shape in Washington, news executives tried to take stock of their mistakes and fix them on the fly, lest the fast-moving story leave them behind again.”

    You know what Trump supporters? I am glad that the clueless and hyperpartisan and butt hurt that make up the bulk of those who hate the President are posting their ignorance, malice, and stupidity on this thread. It really illustrates over and over who they are and why President Trump is so needed at this point in American history. :)

    The labor participation rate is up too after steadily dropping during the Obama years. That wasn't all Obama's fault as the baby boomers started retiring in large numbers during his administration, but that retirement rate has been accelerating since 2010 and continues to this day. So for the labor participation rate to be increasing now is a very good thing.

    Kind of cool to see POTUS interacting with Americans. Looks like he surprised a tour group at the White House today.

    Enemy of the people is right out of Orwell If you tell people the media is their enemy it stops them from getting news and only listen to the person who is manipulating them

    Fox News does a good job of propaganda, like all Rupert Murdoch involvements do and there are plenty of people ratting them out for doing so. Some have worked at Fox News from the start, were real journalists and left, because the propaganda interests outweighed the journalism interests.

    This is what makes Trump the best charlatan I've seen in my life. The man has the gift of getting people scared and believing his every word as gospel.

    I seldom watch a link from Fox News, but I can easily follow all of what tRump does from other sources and they cover everything, like his chopper talks.

    Would you expect every network to cover such a long event like the 4th of July? tRump was running for a second term before his inauguration. He has to remain President beyond the statute of limitation or end up in jail, unless he quits and gets a pardon. It isn't like he launched a campaign at a particular occasion and all his announcements get heavy coverage from all news networks.

    That is utter nonsense. You can watch all the other alphabet cable and network news and see them all repeating the identical assigned talking point or catch phrase issued by the DNC. They aren't able to support it with any facts, but they all dutifully repeat that assigned script as do the members of the Democrat Party who are able to get in front of a media microphone. THAT is propaganda.

    Fox News not only cites its on the record sources but writes its own script. You won't find any examples in straight news reporting at Fox that constitutes propaganda.
