I'm sure Bret Baier and Chris Wallace are great at parties, but journalists understand that their employer is constantly trying to destroy your credibility and annihilate a shared understanding of facts for its own benefit, right?
The reason Fox employs these people is, in fact, specifically so they can get people to respond to stories like Jane Mayer's with, "but some of the people at Fox are real reporters" rather than "holy crap, this is an ethical shitshow."
You think Fox is giving Shep Smith an eight-figure salary because they really love his work on a show that airs at 3 pm?

Really?

I am off today hanging out with the baby and grandparents, but I trust you can all figure out what's going on here without my help.
Trump is misquoting Stuart Varney's prediction that this morning's jobs report would show that "America has the strongest economy of all the industrial democracies" while the Euro/Japan economies are slowing. Didn't age well!

Left, Fox & Friends, 6:18 am
Right, Trump, 8:43 am
Video here. Fox & Friends reaired Varney's prediction at the top of the 7 am and 8 am hours.

"Fox's 'news' team is an essential cog in a corrupt propaganda machine" -- my thoughts on Jane Mayer's Fox expose and the debate over a DNC-Fox debate. mediamatters.org/blog/2019/03/0…
For years, Fox executives and flaks have told reporters and advertisers alike that the network simply has separate “news” and “opinion” sides like any other news outlet. In response to the DNC's decision not to do a primary debate with Fox, the network returned to that defense.
This argument was never credible, but the network’s reinvention as state TV has rendered it utterly appalling.

Proves Jane Mayer right: Fox is Trump's propaganda outlet, and he's defending it as such.
Trump isn't stanning for Fox because of his deep belief that Chris Wallace is a fair reporter.
The strategic argument for a Fox News debate is that the network's propaganda is so effective that there exists a sizable block of voters who refuse to change the channel to watch a debate on another network... but weak enough that those people might still vote for Democrats.

Chris Wallace begins interview w/Trump by asking him "how dark is your mood?"

TRUMP: "It's very light. It's fake news. It's disgusting, fake news. I read a front page story in the Washington Post, they never even called me. I don't think they have sources, they just make it up."
TRUMP: "I'm loving what I do. I did well in France. I did have a problem where I was unable to go to a cemetery b/c Secret Service would not let me do it."

Trump downplays Melania calling for Ricardel's job, saying, "I didn't know the adviser well...we're gonna move her around."
WALLACE: Are you happy Kirstjen Nielsen at DHS?

TRUMP: "I like her...I want her to get much tougher & we'll see what happens"

W: What about John Kelly?

T: "There are things I love that he does. There are certain things I don't like...John is gonna wanna move on at some point"

Understanding the mystery of praise, By Pastor David Oyedepo
@DavidOyedepoMin

@WinnersChapelNL

Every mystery of the kingdom delivers to us, by our understanding of it. For it is the right of believers to understand God's kingdom mystery, without which there will be no benefit.
"And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:" Mark 4:11.

Jesus made it clear, that believers are met to understand kingdom mystery.
Praise is one of these kingdom mysteries, which when we do with understanding, gives us great profits. The bible says, For God is the King of all the earth: sing ye praises with understanding. Psalm47:7. We are to praise God with understanding, to fully reap all its benefits.

I just know this is fake and I don't even want to read it. But here goes nothing I guess.

/thread
Right away the failing @nytimes tips it's hand and reminds everyone that this was all reported on at length a year ago, and they fail to realize everyone could watch Rod Rosenstein at a hearing in public for hours just this week.

Also, he already denied this in May of 2017
"In public, Mr. Rosenstein has shown no hint that he had second thoughts about his role"

so that's the end right? That's the end here....nope, The New York Times wants to travel back in time again.

But"in the chaotic days immediately after Mr. Comey's dismissal" no lol please
