rizlared: According to a Pew Research Center survey “Fox News was the main source for 40% of Trump voters” during the 2016 election. Further, another Pew Survey indicates “When it comes to choosing a media source for political news, conservatives orient strongly around Fox News. Nearly half of consistent conservatives (47%) name it as their main source for government and political news.”
Fox News typically looks at the issues from a conservative perspective and also has a number of on air personalities that are strong supporters of Trump, such as Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson, Bret Baier, Laura Ingraham, Eric Bolling, Tomi Lahren, and Shepard Smith (critical of Trump from time to time). Fox News typically skews conservative as there is less criticism of Trump, therefore the majority of stories are pro-Trump.
In review, Fox News publishes stories with emotionally loaded headlines such as “’They Wanted It to Blow Up’: Limbaugh Says Success of Trump-Kim Summit Caught Media Off Guard” and “Tucker: 2016 Russia Collusion ‘Witch Hunt’ Now Extends to Jill Stein.” When it comes to sourcing they typically utilize pro-Trump pundits such as Rush Limbaugh who has a very poor record with fact checkers, as well as credible sources such as the Wall Street Journal. Fox News is also known to publish right wing conspiracy theories, although after being sued they retracted the story. Fox News has also been deemed the least accurate cable news source according to Politifact.
Overall, we rate Fox News strongly Right-Biased due to word and story selection that favours the right and Mixed factually based on poor sourcing and spreading conspiracy theories that later must be retracted. (7/19/2016) Updated (M. Huitsing 6/15/2018)
Why have you not mentioned Juan Williams ? never one to lose a chance to smear Trump , your carefully crafted post omits Megan Kelly who needed no introduction for expressing her political bias and that Tomi started August 2017 ,well past election date . Time and time again liberal media had the DNC winning the post election special elections while FOX did not and you wonder why FOX is where the news is rather than political bias . FOX had nothing to apologize for post election ,which can't be said for other media outlets , and I have said before if you had been following FOX and a few others what you cast as rightwing media you would not have been surprised at Trump winning as you have said .

WELL OF COURSE FOX SAID TRUMP WOULD WIN, THEY WERE HIS STRONGEST SUPPORTERS,

Megan was not , neither is Williams . The important thing is they said why he was winning . I can't understand why they have Williams , a real stick in the mud , never happy unless things are going bad for Trump .

Might have something to do with that Williams doesn't like Trump or what is happening in America? I can understand that.

You can't understand? Ever thought that by having a "fake" anti-trump reporter, the Gullible think Fox is a balanced news service. Sometimes things need to be spelt out letter by letter for the simple to understand.

Wrong again over paid pea brain. Fox may advertise as being fair and balanced, but they are not. In order to be fair you couldn't allow lying liberals to be guest, but I suppose by allowing them you do get some what of a balance. To someone like you fair and balanced is to lie as much as you can in order to push the liberal agenda. Again, how much are you paid to do that?
I think you are paranoid...too much so that you probably think someone is following you...but you are not that important...calm down and carry on...lol...
Alex Jones wants you to be paranoid...why else would he be selling survival gear...

Yes I know you're also scared the people will take up the challenge and learn that you're a fraud like riz. There's still time to get off the wrong side and join the right.
Draegoneer: I think you'd better go back and read who claimed to end the Iraq war. You'd should also realize that even with Bush's "deadline", it's actually a window for negotiations, NOT a guaranteed "withdrawal". Further more, you should go back to LEON PENETTA. He was there the whole time. Even when Iraq said yes to continuation of U.S. forces, obozo put his own spin of which was spread with media. Even from 2012, you can look up the articles where obozo admitted they were funneling arms. You should stay out of u.s. politics riz. You truly don't follow remotely, accurate enough.
It was also the U.S. training and funding with out enough "discrimination" that we were fighting against much of our own tactics the 3rd time back in Iraq. We can thank obozo and hillary for all of it. The information was available LONG before wikkileaks. Your excuse and escape goat is irrelevant AND spun.
The war was already over. All we had to do was keep the door stopped for Iraq to continue rebuilding. Even when Iraq was requesting assistance obozo dragged his feat as he began equipping al-qiada in Syria. Another place we had no business in. How ever, he couldn't even remotely justify helping Iran with out injecting us into it.
Should we get into obozo's terrorists for deserters program? He freed as many as he could with any reason or excuse people would buy. 30% or more went back to what they were doing in the first place.
One other point you missed Riz. No one knew for certain who was receiving the arms. Again, that goes back to hillary and her baby, "Libya". Yes, they are the reason that arms fell into the wrong hands. It has nothing to do with wikileaks or the election.
They are the reason they were pretty well trained in the long run. They are PART of the reason for the initial funding. They are a huge part of the reason for the global rise in the terrorism index for four years straight. They are the largest part of the reason for migrations that have affected the EU and other areas so harshly to date.

Since riz mainly only cuts & paste what his masters tell him too post. I don't think it would be accurate to say he missed any points as he has very little thoughts of his own. His masters purposely leave out any information that run counter to their message, and since that's where he get his, he really doesn't know any better.

Actually, the standard of your posts makes quite a strong case in favour of cutting and pasting, bigjob.

I think you had better go back and read my post again. Trying to put twist my post to fit your agenda won\t work I never mentioned anything about "withdrawal" I merely pointed out false allegations, sorry the truth hurts
Nothing was "spun", everything is in the public domain, but only those with an open mind would think to check.

`Did I wake you up? Then my post was useful
Come on, you can surely come up with a better response than to copy old news about being paid to post, how about something fresh/new. No? That may take some intelligence, and so far there is little in your posts to suggest you have any
