I guess they didn't teach the history of journalism in Bob's school. Rupert Murdoch is doing nothing different that what Pulitzer and Hearst did back in the day. Communications researchers long ago concluded that people go to the media for confirmation, not information. People don't want "objective" journalism and the people in the media are painfully out of touch - except for Fox and a few others. Fox viewers select Fox for the same reasons other audience segments select NPR. Look to the beam in your own eye, Bob.

You really do not specify what behaviors or values you have. Standards are what we need to have. The left likes to tear down the meaning of things. Ex. There is no definite definition for a man or a woman. All people exist in some spectrum between men and woman so no standard exists. This is important in medical treatment because men and women react differently in surgery, and to some medications. You need standards. 1s and 0s solve problems in a computer, an analog computer working on shades of grey does not exist.

What do you call domestic extremism? Is it someone going against the narrative. How can you articulate what is ethical that makes everything FOX says is wrong, other than vaccines? Can you identify what values you have, and why you believe them?

Here are my values, and yes I do try to stick with them. NOTE I DID GET THE SHOT AND WEAR A MASK.
