He's going off old information, and not what has happened in the past 23 years.  It was once owned by News Corp. from 1996-2013, then 21st Century Fox from 2013-2019, and is currently owned by Fox Corp..  If one is to debate a topic they need to stay with the current news and facts.    

Neither one of you know what you're talking about.  The Disney overlords have been taking over Fox and ABC for two decades now. The fact that none of you even mentioned Eisner proves you are both woefully uninformed. Disney basically won the network takeover of Fox and ABC. Disney powermen fill the boards of both media corporations and the fact that Ruperts sons are more liberal than their dad only accelerated the takeover. ABC was already filled with extreme leftists so that was easier. You two really should read more and learn to put 2 and 2 together.

Tweeting, golfing and more” alleging that Trump only planned on tweeting and golfing over the holiday.......The article was published before reports of Trump’s surprise visit to American troops in Afghanistan on Thanksgiving emerged. Trump and his eldest son Donald Trump Jr. reacted to the article on Twitter, with Trump Jr. writing, “It wasn’t an ‘honest mistake’ you tried to dunk...

They're mad at President Trump for not granting the credentials to cover his campaign, so they write a smear piece.  Why would you invite the enemy to be withing your camp ?

One America Nation, my favorite channel would never stoop to such attacks on our beloved, honorable leader and respecter of a free and unbridled press. (Doing WestHardin's heavy lifting! 😆)

  • He said Trump was trying "to raise doubts when we report critically about him and his administration that we can be trusted" and linked it to polls showing people doubting the First Amendment of the US Constitution.

The Fox News host Chris Wallace says US President Donald Trump has launched the most sustained attack on press freedom in the country's history.

"I believe that President Trump is engaged in the most direct sustained assault on freedom of the press in our history," Wallace said on Wednesday night, according to The Guardian.

He made the comments at the Newseum, a museum about the media industry and free expression in Washington, DC, at an event celebrating the First Amendment. The event was also a farewell for the Newseum, which is closing at the end of the year.

"He has done everything he can to undercut the media, to try and delegitimize us, and I think his purpose is clear: to raise doubts when we report critically about him and his administration that we can be trusted," Wallace said.

He also discussed "fake news," a phrase that originally referred to intentionally false information but was co-opted by Trump during his presidential campaign to disparage the legitimate news media.

"Back in 2017, he tweeted something that said far more about him than it did about us: 'The fake news media is not my enemy. It is the enemy of the American people,'" Wallace said.

He also said Trump's comments were changing people's view of the media and the Constitution.

"Let's be honest: The president's attacks have done some damage," he said. "A Freedom Forum Institute poll, associated here with the Newseum, this year found that 29% of Americans, almost a third of all of us, think the First Amendment goes too far. And 77%, three-quarters, say that fake news is a serious threat to our democracy."

Wallace also noted that Bill McRaven, who was a Navy Seal for 37 years, described Trump's comments about the media as maybe "the greatest threat to democracy in my lifetime" because they undermined the Constitution, The Guardian reported.

The comments come as a war between Trump and Fox News escalates, with Trump repeatedly criticizing the network that was once his close ally and many of its most prolific hosts and contributors hitting back.

Trump has started to direct criticism at the outlet and its main figures in light of slumping polling figures and coverage of controversies that surround him.

He reportedly fears that the network is not loyal enough to him, and has repeatedly said Fox News has "changed."

It is not the first time Trump and Wallace have sparred. In October, Trump tweeted after Wallace's coverage of impeachment proceedings against him that Wallace "will never be his father" — a reference to Mike Wallace, the prolific CBS interviewer who died in 2012.

Trump also called Wallace "nasty" and "obnoxious" in November after his interview with House Minority Whip Steve Scalise about the impeachment inquiry.

You may recall that back in March 2017, MSNBC host Rachel Maddow shocked the world by declaring “we’ve got Trump’s tax returns!” Then she later clarified she had obtained Donald Trump’s 1040 form from … 2005. Those who tuned in to her program that evening had to watch a meandering 19-minute soliloquy and a commercial break before Maddow showed anything from the tax return, which wasn’t much. Her guest, David Cay Johnson, speculated that Trump may have also leaked nude photos of Melania.

That night was a massive letdown for those who believed Maddow’s initial announcement, but it previewed what we could expect from Maddow for the next three years, as the Washington Post’s Erik Wemple lays out in exhaustive detail in a review of Maddow’s reporting and discussion of the Steele dossier. His assessment is scathing:

When small bits of news arose in favor of the dossier, the franchise MSNBC host pumped air into them. At least some of her many fans surely came away from her broadcasts thinking the dossier was a serious piece of investigative research, not the flimflam, quick-twitch game of telephone outlined in the Horowitz report. She seemed to be rooting for the document.

And when large bits of news arose against the dossier, Maddow found other topics more compelling.

She was there for the bunkings, absent for the debunkings — a pattern of misleading and dishonest asymmetry.

Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz issued his report earlier this month and concluded, “much of the material in the Steele election reports, including allegations about Donald Trump and members of the Trump campaign relied upon in the Carter Page FISA applications, could not be corroborated; that certain allegations were inaccurate or inconsistent with information gathered by the Crossfire Hurricane team; and that the limited information that was corroborated related to time, location and title information, much of which was publicly available.”

The night Horowitz released his report, Maddow ignored that and emphasized other conclusions: “The inspector general debunks that there was any anti-Trump political bias motivating these decisions. They debunked the idea that the Christopher Steele dossier of opposition research against Trump was the basis for opening the FBI’s Russia investigation.”

Wemple writes: “Asked to comment on how she approached the dossier, Maddow declined to provide an on-the-record response.”

Like other prime-time cable news hosts who receive much more criticism, Maddow shows up every weeknight and tells a devoted audience, “the world is as you want it to be.” Trump is the worst, he’s committed many terrible crimes, a reckoning is coming, we will be vindicated. Her audience is not interested in hearing the host or guests declare: “While we are vehemently opposed to Trump, but there is no evidence he’s being blackmailed or controlled by the Russian government.”

Her program includes bits of news and other substances that appear to be like news, but are not — fervent speculation, conjecture, assumptions, theories.

If it is too harsh to call it “fake news,” then it is news with artificial flavors and sweeteners, designed to make it more exciting and appealing than it really is.

One of the opinionated responses indicates how little these folks know.  And when I find a glaring error, it makes it impossible to accept any of their other assertions.

Under RUSH LIMBAUGH it says, “probably the most listened to talk-radio in the country”.   Probably?   Lolololololol......

This compared to Saloon, Huffing Post, CNN, MSNBC - ETC …….

The list you produced exist because of them. We don't want a slanted view - we got tired of them and went somewhere else.

 

Would be interested to know how they fare head to head against Saloon and Huffington Post in viewership
