Agreed. I've seen many claim that all taxation is theft, but that's not an opinion. It's a false assertion.
Seems that your 'point' is that those opinions that don't align with yours somehow are no longer opinions, but rather 'false assertions'. Faulty argument at it's very base.

Uh, no. My point is that a false assertion is not an opinion. You do know the difference?

No kidding, but I do watch news, science/nature and Law and Order. (And White Sox games when they're televised.)

I do, but I'm wondering if you actually know the difference.

Give me an example of a false assertion by Fox...

Someone help us all. Oh yeah. That sounds better.
I would think that anyone who saw Fox on Saturday morning after 9:00 am for a couple of hours would take them out for always having one token lib who talks with his head up the normal place for THEM and never seem to want to admit that anything the Fox people say could be true. Nope he didn't really call them out for what they do in the name of diversity.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didnt the left proclaim that taxes were theft being used to fund illegal wars, started by a president that stole the election? None of these are true, but that hasnt stopped the left from repeating it.

I love Liddy, North and the other convicted Felons who are experts.
I take it you have seen Liddy and North talking on the economic shows on Saturday morning. I have never seen them then but then only have Fox on all morning on Saturday. One of us is full of it or at least talking out his a.. and it isn't me.

Like you I cringe sometimes when I hear just a bunch of fake laughs and petty ha-has over stupid things. And it's true that they often keep repeating stuff that is obvious.

Aside from the presentation aspect though of some of their shows, I still like their conservative political stance.
I detest their Saturday morning money shows but do find that I seldom disagree with what they say. It is the six person shout down that I don't like along with the fact that some of the voices just make me sick, almost so sick that I can't hear the words.

Nice to see those from the other side finally admitting it.

Maybe now you can see why we liberals consider FAUX NEWS a complete joke ???
I watched about 10 minutes of MSNBC this morning and just had to go back to Fox. I am too stupid to watch anything else, I guess, at least in the eyes of members of THAT GROUP, (THEM).

Don't know. Don't care.

There are gullible people on both sides, and those who manipulate them.
