That furthers my point. I mean if they were to report the incredible unemployment rate for April, it would just be another thing to disregard. When Trump does well and the news reports it, it’s just Fox being his puppet. But when they tickle the other side’s ears, it’s “intellectual honesty.” Too selective.

But when they tickle the other side’s ears, it’s “intellectual honesty.” Too selective. Well, to a degree, yes. When a network becomes an nearly 100% reliable cheerleader for a politician, it is notable when actual criticism comes from one of their prominent members. Similarly, if MSNBC had Rachel Maddow do a segment where she praised Trump for something and gave him credit, it's more notable than when the sycophants at the Grab-em-by-the-p**** Network do it.

Stupid CNN https://www.cnn.com/2018/04/27/politics/donald-trump-korea/index.html No, that isn't fact, it's opinion. (I would have thought a law student could tell the difference.) First, it hasn't happened yet. Secondly, many reputable voices suspect Kim Jong Un is playing Trump for his own particular purpose - such as cementing his legitimacy in the eyes of the world. They say there are many potential downsides to meeting with him. Personally, I don't know. But I am not going to form an opinion until after the fact.

But when they tickle the other side’s ears, it’s “intellectual honesty.” Too selective. It doesn't further your point at all because you didn't make one. You made an assumption. Intellectual dishonesty happens when Fox consistently goes out of it's way to spin things in favor of Trump or outright ignore blatant falsehoods that the man states. Cavuto called him out on it, which should be commended, because he's actually speaking truth. Carlson and Hannity (especially Hannity) don't do that. Also, this is the dumbest thing you've ever written: "I mean if they were to report the incredible unemployment rate for April, it would just be another thing to disregard. When Trump does well and the news reports it, it’s just Fox being his puppet." No, this is Fox doing it's job and reporting facts. Wallace and Smith do this well and consistently over there. Would be nice if their primary commentators stuck to the facts more often. As was stated above by Titan, Cavuto's comments are getting attention because it's a rare thing to come from that network since Trump took office. By the way, people like Maddow are just as dumb. Remember her bombshell special on Trump's taxes? Yeah, that was stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure it is a fact. Not trying to prove the content within, just that its there. The article speaks for itself. A law student actually knows that there's a very blurry line between fact and opinion, since you want to go there.
