LOL - eggs with Sean Spicer and Fox & Friends

So I get up to have the complimentary breakfast (not bad) at this Comfort Inn (not too good)we stayed at last night. On the TV is Fox News - Fox & Friends.

Topic - Democrats in denial about the Mueller report
Guest commentator- Sean Spicer

This is paraphrased but mostly accurate.

Spicer, “If you look at the news sources most Democrats and liberals get their news from they were all in on this Trump collusion subject and they can’t stop now. The major news publications New York Times Washington Post (lists several other newspapers) they’ve done about 8,500 stories on the supposed collusion. The so called major news networks ABC NBC CBS MSNBC CNN they’ve done about 3,200 stories on this. They just can’t stop now”

Co-host Pete Hegseth (suit filler and non-hand washer) wraps it up for the believers: “It shows how bad it is to only get your news from one source

I actually spit up my eggs laughing.

in Phoenix i posted on fb tagging the place and although the guy at the desk had told me they weren't allowed to change the channel, 15 minutes later it was on CNN.

Fox is a pox on the country.

2. Fox isn't that much worse than CNN and msnbc.

MSNBC has Nicolle Wallace and Rachel Maddow, the rest still push the right wing narrative but merely put a liberal slant to it.

Question; on CNN and msnbc, is the narrative closer to Trump deserves to be impeached or closer to Democrats overstepped and need to rein themselves in?

Your claim is just flat out false

Fox doesn’t even try to show any real news reporting (exception is Shepherd Smith). Fox is an arm of the Trump White House....period. It is amazing how so many people have just lost the ability of rational thought. The actual data is right before your eyes just in what Trump says himself!

yet not one of you have answered my question.

What difference does it make if;

Fox says that Obama beat his wife.
CNN says it needs more information.
msnbc says no he didn't.

All 3 networks are still covering the same narrative that Obama beats his wife.

Also I have another question; why did msnbc fire these popular anchors; Phil Donahue, Keith Olbermann, Dylan Ratigan, Harris/Perry, Brashear, Uygur, Ed Schultz?

The joke is on people who believe that CNN and msnbc are liberal networks, if they truly were unbiased, Trump would be impeached by now.

It's a good cop bad cop routine.

Olbermann gave money to a political campaign in violation of network rules.

14. In addition to the 1st response to your question, Ed Schultz aired altered clips more than once.

Theres NO excuse for anyone to do that.
And how would "truly unbiased" reporting have gotten trump impeached by now?? The Dems have only had the House for a couple months.
I watch/listen to a TON of news sources. Even Fox. Yep, thats right. Some thru no choice, but i still pay attention. And i hear pretty much every story covered by one or more of those sources. Some more in depth than others. There's nothing out there that hasnt been covered already that would give us this magical impeachment.
Not to mention, the Speaker has already said "Drop it". She has the leadership position for a reason

I have gone to have my car serviced and Faux Snooze was on and I told them that if the channel was not changed, I would take my car and leave. Most of the time it worked, but not always.
