(2,078 posts)but for now the question 'needs to be asked'. Tomorrow might be Soros.
In any event, aren't they the 'news'? Find the hell out!
I'd wager it would be fairly easy to find out.
Its much better to infer that you, the watcher is somehow paying for it though.
So, for propaganda and spin purposes, better to simply ask 'who's paying for this?! and imply YOU fox watcher might be paying for this.

When I could no longer stand it (about 5 mins), I walked over there and yanked the HDMI cable...and dared them to plug it back in, as I would call Corporate resources on them for using equipment for personal use. They were acting like jerks the entire week, I had to work with them..

(1,822 posts)who said this was all in the works and planned waiting for the next mass shooting to happen and then they could use the victims as a springboard for their agenda. He was insinuating that the kids werent really doing any of the planning, the "liberals" already had it planned and told the kids what to say and do.

(3,527 posts)If anyone comes up with some of the devastating responses posted above, like it sure a hell aint Russia, or our children/fellow students have paid with their blood, you just know those responses will never make it on the air. Instead they will find some misinformed ignorant looking person who gives a misguided reply and present that as the average protester on the streets.
Thats fine if youre doing a comedy segment on a late night talk show like Jay Walking, but for a so-called news station to present these ambush interviews as some kind of amusement is obscene. What else would you expect from them?

(58,785 posts)I've wondered myself. Of course, it's people on the right side of both decency and history, and equally of course we can depend on Fox to recast decency as corruption.
But I think we all know costs aren't being covered by the kids' lunch allowances. I've read about a couple of cities' kids setting up GoFundMes for their marches, and there'll have been many donations through other routes.
Here's another: Who's helping organize them, in DC, other cities, over all? The energy and commitment are coming from these wonderful high school students, but organizing events of this size is strictly a job for grown-up experts.
Btw, Stoneman Douglas's own drama club and student choir are performing now. Not "celebrities," but more students from Stoneman participating on stage in an event of their lifetimes. They're GOOD!

Lotta damn gall asking that question while you sell reverse mortgages and Trumpy bears to people whose social services you help take away.

(14,167 posts)Every single legitimate news organization needs to start speaking out against Faux and holding them up as the propaganda network they really are.
Keith Olbermann had the right idea when he did it on during a regular segment on Countdown.'
We have to try to break through this brainwashing and force them to defend deliberately lying to the American public.
