Trump hangs up on Australia's prime minister? We're losing our allies.

He didn't hang up on him according to Australia's PM. Conversation was ended early but done so in a cordial manner.

Fact Checker Finds 60% Of Fox News Statements To Either Be Mostly False Or A Lie

There are multiple studies available, whatever I post here you will claim as biased. That's why you should do your own search.

https://www.poynter.org/2012/survey...ormed-fox-news-viewers-worst-informed/174826/
The one above is how well informed compared to news source.

Here's How Liberal Or Conservative Major News Sources Really Are - Business Insider

The above study is on where people get their news. (fascinating)

Good one from Berkely. Another good one from Princeton I did not link. There are multiple studies. Do a little research.

I saw the interview where the PM was asked. He was being cordial in his reply. Watch the interview.

First article that pops up on a Google search:

CNN vs. Fox News - Compare Side by Side | reComparison

Which lost a lot of credibility right here:



Umm, really? But moving on, here's the next couple of articles that pop up:

https://www.theatlantic.com/politic...able-news-clinton-trump-fox-msnbc-cnn/502223/

Not bad, fairly unbiased.

Cable Ratings: Fox News Beats CNN and MSNBC Combined in Primetime

Not really a comparison, but anyway. And another from The Wrap:

Cable Ratings: Fox News Wins Week, MSNBC Beats CNN

And another site which appears to let people write in their own answers:

Is there a difference between Fox News and MSNBC? | Debate.org

Oh wait, here's your Politifact article you've been drooling over.

http://www.politifact.com/punditfac...hecking-fox-msnbc-and-cnn-punditfacts-networ/

With the individual networks:

http://www.politifact.com/punditfact/tv/nbc/

http://www.politifact.com/punditfact/tv/fox/

http://www.politifact.com/punditfact/tv/cnn/

Still doesn't make your argument valid since we've already debunked how much Politifact sucks.

I gave better links than you did. I think my point is more than proven. If you're not convinced, keep reading.

Actually, the other day you said do a search and the top results would prove your point. I don't have the desire to track down the specific post, but you said it.

So, just doing what you suggested and didn't need to dig. Your point wasn't proven at all from the "first links" in a search.

Maybe it will only work 98% of the time. As long as people are legitimately searching for accurate information, I'm good. If we all do that, that will be a colossal step in the right direction.

In other words, it will work when you say it works?

I agree on the think for yourself concept. It also seems the best data YOU can find, always has a certain slant. I do not think you research beyond what you want to see.

Everyone, including me (maybe especially me), has a hard time getting past their own personal biases. I actually do try, you just would never know from my posts on this board.

No, you just look for information that supports your argument.

Sometimes that's true, but even then I can't help but see the information from the opposing side. Sometimes, I'm just looking for information.

I just wish more people would look. Period. To many just run with the information that comes across their phone or computer or their preferred TV station. I'm not claiming that I'm innocent....but less guilty than a lot.

Trump's pick for Labor Secretary, Andrew Puzder (the Hardee's/Carl's Jr guy) has yet to have his hearing in the aftermath of his admission to having employed an undocumented worker in his home for several years. George W. Bush's 1st choice for Labor Secretary, Linda Chavez, had to withdraw over the same problem. I would say this is most likely to be Trump's first Senate rejection now that it seems they are willing to bite the bullet on DeVos.

You'd think that would get him 48 votes right off the bat, however as soon as he learned about her status, he terminated her employment and repaid all back taxes.

It's sad that the Republicans in the Senate can't stand up and do the right thing on Devos. Everyone knows she's terribly unqualified. This isn't deference to a new president. It's just a mistake.

and Republican voters have been calling in against her, too. She bought and paid for that appointment.
