It was just expedient for him to pretend he did. With respect, I disagree. Events of the last week show that if someone he trusts says something, he'll believe it without querying it. It's all about what the last person told him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's to hope. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAuthority Posted February 21, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted February 21, 2017 EDIT BY NV - THE LANGUAGE IN THIS VIDEO IS NSFW. CHEERS. This was Friday night on the Maher show. Good on Larry Wilmore for telling him to go f*ck himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I love how the comments have changed in tone since that was posted. First they were going at Larry for telling him to **** himself (he called the entire panel low IQ beforehand which they ignored), but now everyone's against him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted February 21, 2017 Moderator Share Posted February 21, 2017 What's all this doing for FOX's subscriber numbers? Surely at some point, being attached to this nutcase has to be hurting their reputation (such as it is). Also, seeing as how FOX and SKY are essentially the same company, has SKY's editorial line on Trump been similarly generous (albeit in a more subtle way)?

Fox got on fine as the not in any way at all whatsoever, how dare you say that sir, racist network when the last fella was in charge. There is no hope.

Sky News is far more balanced, i.e. think he's a nutcase like the rest of us. Nothing like Fox News would be allowed to exist in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 6 minutes ago, OutByEaster? said: Don't FOX own SKY news? Murdoch owns 40% of Sky but it's forbidden for news to be biased on TV or radio, unlike in the newspapers. You do get accusations of bias whether it's Sky, the Beeb, Channel 4, ITV but in general it's pretty even-handed. Regarding Trump, you'd basically need to be a propaganda machine to put a positive spin on his presidency, I assume most of the right wing media around the world largely think he's a moron.

Chindie Posted February 21, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted February 21, 2017 Fox isn't quite as pro Trump as you'd expect. They're less critical than the other stations but they still have criticised him - as mentioned before one of their flagship shows had a 10 minute segment the other day railing against Trump's constant lying. About the only truly fully on board outlets are Breitbart and 'Infowars', which tells you everything you need to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Milo resigns from Breitbart haha We ultimately come out the losers though, for letting things get too the point where someone like him is important enough that he can hold a press conference. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What an utterly contemptible bell end. I've never really hated anyone in my life. I don't have the energy for it, and it's not really part of my moral structure. But right now he's on a list of 4 or 5 people who I genuinely hate. I'm pretty even-minded, and can see things from other peoples' point of view - sometimes to my own detriment. But in the case of far right wing racism, sexism, xenophobia etc I just genuinely cannot get my head around it. I can't fathom how someone can hold those views and not just be either trolling or taking the piss. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's Katie Hopkins, but with less scruples, and more sincere. There's a nasty subset of people that share similar views. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
