Let see AG Bill Barr has a strange meeting with the owner of Fox Rupert Murdock and two days later Shepard Smith resigns? Connection? Could Chris Wallace be next? Will Fox ever put up another poll the shows that people want Trump impeached?

Something seems to be going on with the arrangement between Trump and Fox news. This is the second bad poll they have put out on him in a month and he's loosing his mind over it.

Of course theres an arrangement. Have you seen Trump on any other TV network even close to as much as he's on Fox. Both calling into Fox and Friends all the time and letting them interview him. YES theres an arrangement. They give him the coverage he wants and he goes on the network.

Trump goes on Fox because they are the closest thing to a conservative viewpoint...

That seems to be the arrangement... “I like the way you guys think/present stories better than the other guys.”

Did Bill Clinton go on CNN because they had an “arrangement?” I don’t think so... I think he preferred the way they covered him. Was it accidental that they called CNN the Clinton News Network? No... they treated him favorably... so he talked to them more than the other guys.

Same thing with President Obama. You think he want on Fox because he had an “arrangement” with MSNBC? I don’t think so. I think Fox treated him badly... so he went to where he would get more favorable treatment.

Trump has been on Shepherds ass for a long time. Just like he was on Acosta and Lemon and Tapper. Trump loves who loves him... and criticizes anyone that doesn’t. If you call that an “arrangement” then OK.

Dude REALLY? Obama went on FOX he even sat down with Bill O'Reilly what are you saying.
You think Trump would have some ball and go on msnbc and sit down with Chris Matthews? HELL NO!
Also Trump is NOT a Conservative. Nothing about him is a conservative. He an Nativist and if you follow him and his world view you are too.

See... Straw man argument. My intention wasn't to say Obama NEVER was interviewed by other networks.... If remember correctly... fox was hosting the Superbowl and that was an interview on the most watched program of the year. Clinton had preferences. Obama had preferences. Bush had preferences. Trump obviously has a PREFERENCE.

Your assumption is because it's by some ”arrangement” rather than because he is a doofus that just likes to deal with people who stroke him.

Trump has been interviewed by other networks... But he he obviously has a preference. And it is obvious that it hasn't been an ”arrangement” because Shepherd Smith, Wallace and Cavuto have all been critical of him at times.

And lastly... I didn't say Trump was a conservative. I said Fox reports from a conservative point of view. I apologize for not spelling it out completely for you... But conservatives watch Fox and those are his voter base.

Bro... Stop sucking the left but. Your mouth is big enough to fit them both.

glad he made his exit...very hard to watch his shit eating grin (i guess that could be literal btw)

ready for juan to get out also...just watching him on with martha is too much...she can't even stand his shit takes anymore. there is another one also


just once i want to see something happen...that is bad or good and have someone on the left be a straight shooter and acknowledge it just as being good or bad - without some bent to get the last word that makes everyone on the left feel these guys are swinging and fighting for their cause....they swing the bat at everything they see

it's ok to let some balls go by and build some credibility among all viewers. swinging at all pitches or calling in poker all the time gives you zero credibility....juan's eye rolls? everything??


chris hahn has been threatened a few times of not being invited back...over past few months is getting out of control...might see some fist fights on tv

That Obama interview wasn't just for a Fox Super bowl Preview show. O'Reilly chopped in up in pieces and showed it on his show for about a week. It just showed Obama was scared of the media. Did they put out things he didn't like OF COURSE but he never call them Fake News and he wasn't afraid to even go on far right O'Reilly. I'd like to see Trump on Rachel Maddow.

From what I heard there controversy at Fox was between the REAL NEWS side and the OPINION side. I never knew Fox had a REAL NEWS side I thought the whole channel was OPINION and right wing propaganda. Clearly something must have went down recently for the guy to up and quit after being the 23 years and what recently happened is AG Barr met with Rupert Murdock, also Trump has been going crazy on Twitter about the Fox News poll above^. Im not surprised some of you Trump apologist can't put two and two together even when it comes to your favorite channel lol

the sons taking over fox have different mind set than dad...so little surprising, but happy nevertheless

he was virtually unwatchable

really it's like watching my son trying to get one over on ya...you can see the shit a mile away...the set up questions with voice inflections...fucking brutal


juan tries to be smarter, but arguing the shit side every single time whether its meaningless to him or not is unbearable...the fast forward button is starting to come out with him talking politics...he's had a good career though


now we got ed henry trying out for this straight news gig now vacant and his dislike for trump going up 10 notches....just to be seen as a guy for the job

i do like him better than the gay dude thought...he had to go

Dude...that is the problem I am referring to. You are trying to put “two and two” together when you really don’t have any... or all of the numbers.

Trump talks about Fox. Trump goes on Fox way more than any other network.

AHAAA! They have an arrangement!!

Let me share this deep secret about the president that no one else knows. Here is Trumps arrangement with EVERYONE.

If you say nice things about him... he will like you! If you criticize him he will attack you.

If you say nice things about him....he will talk to you more. If you criticize him he will only talk to you if he has to.

To his credit... President Obama was not as petty or thin skinned. He didn’t feel like he had to swing at every pitch. If Dennis Miller (or some other celeb or comedian) made a negative comment about him... he usually didn’t engage... or he would sluff it of with a comment of pithy joke,

“Matt Damon said he was disappointed in my performance. Well, Matt, I just saw "The Adjustment Bureau," so ... right back atcha, buddy."

Trump swings at every pitch... even the ones in the dirt.

You guys already know he’s a narcissist. That’s part of his narcissism. Do I like it? No. Do I wish he would handle those things differently? Absolutely! But he has made it work for him.

As far as being a Trump apologist? In the same way I was an Obama apologist. The hate and vitriol people had/have for both of them cause people to see information through a distorted prism. They accept and embrace news stories that support their predisposed desired outcome... and discount information to the contrary.

Dude... you and Crane OP and Sherkahn (whatever his name is) are the same person. You go, “Aha!” After every news tidbit. Then put a few of those tidbits together (2+2) and think you have the answer. No... the actual equation is going to be 2+7+4 - 6+27+8 -14 + 2 + X + Z13= 334. But you only saw 2+2 because you have a desired outcome.

I don’t really care what the outcome is. I don’t hate Trump... and I don't love Trump. When he does something I think was right I can say, “I liked that.” When he does something bad... “I think he was wrong about that.”

It’s not all or nothing for me. I loved President Obama’s demeanor. I loved his approach to people and situations. I loved the dignity with which he carried himself. I often disagreed with him policy wise... but I didn’t hate him and I didn’t feel like I had to attack him at every turn.

A lot of people did. and when they said crazy bullshit, I challenged it. I really don’t care how any of this turns out. It will be whatever it will be... and like always... we will get through it. I just want to be fair-minded. And most people have no desire for that.

I didn’t vote for Trump in 2016. I didn’t think he was ready for the job. But he was elected. Now he is the president. He is exactly who he has ALWAYS been.

I think the impeachment investigation is 85%political and 15% substance. But... because of the 15%... I agree there should be an investigation. At some point... I might agree he should be kicked out of office... but that isn’t even a consideration for me at this point.

Next year... if it’s Biden/Trump. I could vote for Biden.
If it’s Warren or Bernie/Trump.... I’ll be voting for Donnie.

@Fubar That may have been the reason he left.
He might have been called in by the heads at Fox after AG Barr spoke to Murdock and told to stick to just News. None of your opinions. He might have said fuck it the only thing on this channel is opinion and I NOW can't voice mine. Fuck it I quit!

......or he wanted to do straight news and the heads of Fox were trying to have the straight news be twisted to Trump News or to cheer on Trump. News from Trump's perspective. This seems most likely.

Here is an interesting segment on the rrelationship between Trump and Fox News

All the Truth on Trump WILL come out........and you will twist and turn and deny.
You know he's a lying fuck up.
You small minority of California Trump supports are just lying to yourself lol

This Senate cover up of not hearing relevant witnesses and documents in an impeachment trial will have a lasting effect. !00 years from now they will be talking about this.
It will energize Democrats in this election year.

If the Republicans had of let the American people hear from all the witnesses with first hand knowledge and released all the documents and then voted to acquit it would be seen as just partisan but suppressing this shit after Mumbles McConnell said he was going to work in coordination with the impeached and accused Donald Trump, boarders on straight corrupt.
