    Stay classy, Faux Newz. When you aren’t blatantly misinforming and often times flat out lying to your viewers, you are discriminating or sexually harassing women. How low can you go? You’ve already won the limbo contest.

      What lies would those be? “Russiagate?” (Delusional, hilarious, evidence-free nonsense running over a year now.)

      Harvey Weinstein? Was he Fox News? Matt Lauer? Bill Clinton? Charlie Rose? Jeffery Tambor? Ryan Seacrest? Kobe Bryant? Morgan Spurlock? Garrison Keilor? Donovan McNabb? John Conyers? Russell Symons? Al Franken? Kevin Spacey? Michael Oreskes (NPR)? Mark Halperin (NBC)? Ross Levinson (LA Times)? Dayan Candappa (Newsweek)? Glenn Thrush (NY Times)?

      Man, liberals have a lot to crow about. (But then again, they are “feminists”. Just ask them.)

        Craig–

        You were kind enough yesterday to respond civilly to a question I asked, so here goes: If the Obama administration had been accused of ANY of the things Trump has been accused of doing (Karen McDougal, Stormy Daniels, racist comments, sexual harassment, etc), how would you feel? Note: I said “accused”, not convicted of. I’m just curious.

        The true litmus test in politics is asking yourself if it’s still ok if the other side does it.

          Keep in mind, I was not defending Trump. I was defending the idiotic attacks on Fox News, when the overwhelming majority of sexual harrasser (or worse) have been liberals.

          But since you brought up Trump, you lefties defended Clinton forever. He was very credibly accused of RAPE by one woman and sexual assault by another. And then Hillary attacked them as “bimbos”.

          By comparison, Trump is just a pig. No one accused him of rape or assault.

            I am consistent, Craig, I stand in opposition to all the names you just dropped. Many others, too. And, yes, our current president has been accused of assault. Heck, he even admitted to assaulting women on both Howard Stern and Access Hollywood. As far as Faux News misinforming its audience, I’ll leave you with this:

            Why am I automatically a lefty if I disagree with you? I’m a registered independent. That doesn’t make me your enemy, nor you mine.

            I do appreciate you at least responding, though.

            Actually Craig – Trump WAS accused of assault. Of course they were all labeled as liars. And why didn’t you respond to Sal’s question? He asked how would you feel if OBAMA was accused of any of the same things as Trump not Clinton.

          Sal, here is one for the ages. Obama proudly proclaimed that his administration had been scandal free for 8 years. Next to Obamacare, probably the biggest lie he ever told.

    Craig, liberal Independents are the same as liberal Democrats. We have one notorious Independent on this blog who proudly voted for Obama twice.

      actually, a lot of your comments are what led me to become an independent. I’ve never seen such displays of pure ignorance. it’s almost impressive.

          Just calling out Agent because we know you won’t. And, I’m using your words in the spirit of Jack Handey, “Because hey, free dummy!”

    First you attack Fox News over sexual harrassment claims.

    Then when you are exposed as a partisan hack – ignoring the mountain of claims against liberals – you change the subject to Politifact’s nonsense about truth in stories.

    And even when you cite Politifact (a far left joke for intelligent people), you ignore the fact that CNN and MSNBC are nearly as bad as Fox.

    Truly, have some self-respect. You are boring.

      Actually, a registered Independent, Craig. I even voted for some Rs recently. But, thanks for trying out and maybe we’ll see you again next year, son.

        We know you didn’t vote for Joni Ernst up there on the frozen tundra. You are as fake as Ron on voting record.

          Where did I say Joni? Of course I didn’t vote for that dingbat! I do have Republican friends/colleagues and acquaintances I believe in, though. Those are who I voted for. Joni is fake, met her at the Solheim Cup. Completely fake! Hence her lies about the bread bags. Everyone who actually ever did that knows the bread bags went over your socks before you put your boots on. Nice try, Joni!

            I have done the bread bags trick and can confirm it is over socks, not boots.

            Paper route from age 8 to 15 will harden a boy into a steely-eyed man. :P

            On another note, Craig Cornell has gone full idiot. He started off as a black man with a concerned outsider’s perspective for pervasive drug use, and has turned into an (actual, real life) middle-aged white man shaking his fist at clouds.

            Craig, your aversion to facts is as appalling as it is hilarious. As a wise man once said, “the facts have a well-known liberal bias.” Just the idea of calling Politifact a “far left joke for intelligent people” is proof enough you aren’t actually concerned with discussing objective truths or improving your knowledge on a subject.

            If you said, “Trump is making America Great Again and it shows! The economy is way up, consumers are spending more money, and employers are hiring at an increased rate since Trump took office! His policies are having an effect and there is NO denying that!!!!!!! Loser liberals!!” and then someone posted a Politifact link to refute your claims, you can laugh at Poltiifact, but their claims always, always, ALWAYS contain the hard data. Links to government reports, statements given or quotes heard, etc.
            By the way: annualized GDP growth was stronger in 2014 and 2015 under Obama. More people were hired in 2016 than in 2017. Consumer spending is down 3 consecutive months, even with a “massive” tax break in February, etc.

            Politifact is just a way for intelligent people to go and quickly verify the veracity of a claim using sources and hard data. It would be idiotic to state that they are some left-wing lie-rag in a similar vein to Info Wars or Fox News.
