You can act like Dan Rather doing some goofy shit on CBS News is the equivalent to the day in, day out, putrid shit that Fox News has done for decades.  You can also piss on my leg and tell me its raining.  Whatever you need to let you go to sleep at night.  I ain't buying it for a second.

What Dan Rather did got him fired but more than that. The most respected name in television news falsified stories. He took 70 years of news and journalism credibility built up by CBS and shit canned it. 

That is a little different than a panel of shrill models reading teleprompters, competing with other shrill models on the other stations to see who could be the most obnoxious while posing as news anchors.

Sure blarg.  You can keep saying that til you're blue in the face.  

Have some self respect, dude.  And some respect for us.

[Blarg]

Respect is earned.

The discussion is what had a bigger impact, some guy placing models on an opinion show and selling it as news or a respected news entity not just crossing the line of journalistic integrity but blowing it up.

I'll take something serious over fluff for $500, Alex.

Yeah.  THAT'S what Fox news has been doing for 30 years.  Its the models that has everybody complaining.  Seriously you sound stupid.  Or in denial.  The number one complaint about Fox news has been the hot talking heads.

Okay.

What I don't like about these stations is that they don't investigate, they don't send out field reporters, they don't do anything but sit and make political commentary and call themselves a news station. If you're going to call yourself a news station at least go find some damn news yourself

What you suggest sounds expensive and a ratings killer.

Gone are the days of the one man mobile uplink center to bring news where it happens, when it happens.

If you love Fox you will blow a load for Sinclair. They are buying up everything and they think Fox is too liberal. Someone is beating TrumpTV to the punch.

Apparently they envision a Christian version of Iran.
