    "Four times in the past few weeks, Fox has set aside its usual prime-time programming to air the president speaking live to supporters at events in South Carolina, Minnesota, North Dakota and West Virginia. The network also promised live coverage of a Trump rally Thursday"

    "Not counting Tuesday's speech before a military group in West Virginia, Fox has aired Trump rally speeches virtually in their entirety six times. That amounted to six hours, 33 minutes of programming"

    https://www.rochesterfirst.com/enter...ews/1285153197

    Is there any doubt that Fox is State media? When was the last time any President ever got wall to wall coverage on repeated campaign events? It is all orchestrated purposely to convey a political agenda, kinda like what Pravda does elsewhere

    The only interviews Trump does anymore have been with Fox, he hires Fox employees, has personal relationships with Fox personnel, Fox demogogues are his biggest apologists, and the TV programming he watches, or is more likely checking to make sure they got the memo, is Fox

    Conservatives love to perpetuate their MSM myth, but even if true, least the MSM isn't State media

    How much coverage did the left wing media give Trump when he was on the campaign trail? They couldn't get him on their shows fast or often enough.

    This has a whole lot of spin and assumptions in it sir. Not enough TDS threads going atm for your liking? I like how you slipped in that comment how the FOX team is some kind of apologist for the President? Or are they just telling the truth? There is little to be apologetic about. I mean he is doing a good job by most measures that matter that don't involve lies or hysterics and grandstanding.. I would think rational people would like to hear both views from the media to make a more educated opinion right?

    Unless your quite loud assertion is suggesting that only leftist views matter? Naw not your opinion.. Naw

    Amazing how some conservatives automatically interpret "both sides" as meaning factual sides, there is only one truth, it isn't divided into two opinions, and to think that Fox isn't full of Trump apologists is denying reality,

    Noting personal, but the line in your post that is definitely a classic is "that don't involve lies or hysterics and grandstanding," anything Trump does "involves lies or hysterics and grandstanding," have you been living under a rock?

    Of course FOX is Trump State media.

    The outrage of the obama years and clinton campaign has been preempted at times by MEGA MAGA cheerleading for trump, but the outrage at liberals and socialists and anti american unpatriotic open border baby killers remains a reassuring constant at least.

    Of course you don't, neither did the followers of "Buzz" Windrip, no one would expect one as drunk on the kool aid as yourself to care

    How dare FOX cover the Presidents speeches live, and "four times in the past few weeks"!

    Maybe the better question is why isn't the mainstream media giving more coverage to our President. Are they afraid to cut in to "America's Got Talent" or "The Bachelor" or something? Are they afraid if they broadcast the speeches live they won't have enough opportunity to add their spin?

    The msm doesn't want to show Trump live.

    They'd rather filter what Trump said and give us their version.

    You know that you don't have to watch Fox if it bothers you that much.

    I am surprised that the Republicans aren't complaining about a president that campaigns all through his term, they damn sure did biotch and whine about Oblama doing it.

    The highest rated shows on Fox News pull maybe 5 million. That's about 1/10th the combined audience the liberal media complex draws.

    Considering some of the liberal viewers are watching multiple liberal news outlets on a given day, that means perhaps 15-20 million viewers likely won't be shown what the President of the United States is saying in front of crowds.

    Probably too difficult to make room between all the dog whistles the liberal media blows hour by hour while attacking the President and his Administration.

    Good point.

    Of course, you just confirmed the left's media partners covered Obama's speeches all the time, which kind of makes this whine about Fox a little lame.

    I noticed after forty years that all presidents in office do it, so you just exposed your bias and prejudices when making bad prognostications.

    I started with "good point".

    It would seem your bias and prejudices got in the way, period.
