Roger Ailes: Elephant in the War Room

It's well documented that msnbc attempted to silence their own new hosts -- Jessie Ventura, Donahue, Ashleigh Banfield -- who were outspoken about the Iraq war. Sorry, I wouldn't have to do the whataboutism if you weren't so ignorant about it. My point is, when it comes to war, most MSM networks fall into lockstep, and this is nothing new.

What a bizarre statement.

I think it's supposed to trap us into saying something naughty.

Certainly, the Bible is very bizarre, what with its condemnation of lust and all.

I didn't realize that red-blooded American males should never be titillated by "strange female flesh." The comment almost sounds like something out of an Iranian mullah.

That's quite a leap to "lust"

OK, that made me laugh. "lusting in your heart" is not the same as noticing and appreciating the beauty of the female form.

Why are we supposed to care about the off-camera soap opera stuff?

You did when Bill was in office.

Unless you were faking it back then - which, given recent political history, actually seems pretty likely.

It's relevant because pro-war is not just a Fox News thing, and that's a problem for our western society as a whole. As far as Ailes, I don't care about the dude, and why should I? I don't watch Fox frequently, but I occasionally watch YT clips of Tucker's show because I like his commentary about certain subjects. Should I be as obsessed with Ailes as you are because of that?

Do I didn't. At that the time I didn't give two hoots about politics.

Man, you sure do love throwing around accusations about folks you know nothing about.

Sex is a powerful part of the deception regardless whether fundamentalists of non-Christian religions decry it. Ailes admitted he did it to titillate conservative men.

CNN and MSNBC are bad sources for news. FOX too, but for more bizarre reasons that relate to sex and the subconscious. Hence, illuminated legs.

I didn't say they DIDN'T criticize Bush in the aftermath. It's what they've got to do; they have to feign like they're anti-war liberals. But you said "drum for a literal invasion of another country" in the OP. That implies pre-war reaction, and that's what I was addressing. I'll let you carry on with your troll fest Ailes obsession.
