    Fox news has its ups and downs.
    They are diverse.

    Here is some of their critical opinions on current Dem admin.

    I actually for stricter rules on this issue.

    Fox News is about as far from diverse as a station can get. It's not news. It's theater.

    What about left media? Depends who you ask, so would say many major media outlets are theater.

    We're not talking about anything but Fox right now. Whether or not CNN or whatever is "leftist propaganda" has no bearing on whether or not Fox News is actually a news station.

    One cant talk about Mohammad Ali without mentioning his opponents like Frasier. We compare the News outlets.

    CNN, for one, made a point to include Trumpy contributors until constant lies made it impossible.

    Again: Gingrich, who is Faux's most prestigious contributor (former Speaker of the House), is spreading a neo-Nazi mantra. The fact that other outlets do not feature right wing hate peddlers like #ucker Carson, is a boost to their reputation, not a detract.

    Literal whataboutism notwithstanding, I agree with you that there aren't any other U.S.-based 24 hour news channels worth watching.

    The problem with Fox, CNN and MSNBC is that they are less interested in the news than ratings. This means putting on a show so viewers turn on their channel and leave it on all day. They fill their air time with unscripted pundits and unedited rants from hosts. Whereas channels like CBS, ABC, and NBC have editors and fact checkers that go through everything as part of preparing for the news.

    IMHO, it is okay to watch a little of a 24 hour news channel for the entertainment, for the feel good affirmation, of it. One just has to keep in mind that it is just entertainment. Real news should be found elsewhere like CBS, ABC, NBC or a good printed news source.

    In this instance, what you're doing is saying "Well, Ted Bundy wasn't that bad because Jeffrey Dahmer killed 15 people. That's terrible, 15 people! How dare he!" while ignoring that Bundy killed at least 30. It's the same line of reasoning.

    Ethics or a moral compass, has never been an arena that Newt was strong in....

    No argument here. He says what he thinks will benefit himself the most. So what he thinks will sell among "Conservatives" is ... "great replacement". So Newt Gingrich, a GOPer, believes that GOP is fascist. I see no reason to disagree.

    As time passes, the current administration will make its print and already making it print.
    So what was is lessons to be learned for the future.
    Whats is and what to come time will show.

    Indeed, well spoken, although likely subject to contrasting interpretations!

    I can address the very one-sided report if you'd like, and how alleged Antifa interfered with a "family prayer meeting" somehow organized by a "traveling preacher" banned in Canada for organizing illegal super-spreader fests. And then clashing with seditious Proud Boys, like it's a bad thing. I could share with you how talks on local social media by possible gun nuts on organizing "mutual assistance" group of people with "varied skills" to "protect" our little piece of white people paradise make me sometimes wish we had a chapter of Antifa around (we do not).

    But first, am I to conclude from the above that you are A-OK with your party spreading the Great Replacement scare? It does not bother you in the least?

    Regarding the Great Replacement scare, I'm a retired old white guy. I'm not scared. I hope the great replacement happens sooner rather than later so we can better all live in peace. As the FBI has warned, our greatest threat is white supremacist groups. While we are at it we need a female President or two. :)

    And don't forget that Police didn't take action thanks to your representatives demonizing Police all last year.
