I don't count Fox and the term MSM equivalent. And, of course, I never said "everything" was OK. nt LAS14 Nov 6 #16

Maybe instead of posting "baloney" to others, consider a polite explanatation of disagreement hlthe2b Nov 6 #17

I did not specify Fox in my original post either. I said MSM were a problem with bias and their frequent hlthe2b Nov 6 #19

Are we sure that push to get Joe out wasn't instigated by Trump's cronies? lees1975 Nov 6 #6
