I don't watch it. I do however wonder why so many people who vote republican watch it. Fox does nothing but bait, flame and troll the dems. Lie after lie and then people who watch fox call all other news fake.
The only time I watch TV news (save for local news) is when something huge is occurring, and I do turn on Fox. I've been a Brit Hume fan since he was an ABC White House correspondent, and I also want to hear Bret Baier's opinion. I didn't always agree with him, but I greatly admired Charles Krauthammer. I don't make an apology for choosing Fox News. One point I've made throughout this thread is that an opinion you don't like is not a lie. Kilmeade did not lie; he expressed an opinion that people didn't like. Oh, well.
As an update, Prince Philip while dying was made aware of the Oprah interview and was angered. Call his grandson and his wife's participation "madness," according to his biographer. After the toe-sucking incident, Prince Philip refused to
ever again be in the presence of Sarah Ferguson. I think speculating on whether the interview contributed even slightly to his decline is reasonable. Eventually, perhaps in the inevitable biographies following the Queen's death, we will learn more, but in the meantime, has distressing or infuriating news ever improved the emotional well-being of someone who is gravely ill? I mean, come on.
If you choose to watch CNN or MSNBC, fine. I don't really care what anybody else watches, and as I've posted many times, I don't understand why anybody would rely on any one medium these days anyway. But CNN and MSNBC deserve their reputations. Any reasonable discussion about news networks needs to be honest about partisan spinning or manufacture. Insofar as I'm aware, Fox News has never doctored a 9-11 tape, for example.
As for morning shows in general, they are what they are, irrespective of the station, and I think people are drawn to particular personalities. (Why anybody would be drawn to Kilmeade is beyond me, and I watched/listened to several minutes of "Fox and Friends" for years while dressing for work.) They all express opinions, and you aren't going to agree with all of them. So call them "knuckleheads" or "dummies"--just don't call them liars for expressing opinions.
And in the particular case of Harry and Meghan, don't rely on American media to explain British law, custom, or tradition; look to UK sources. I mean, the nonsense on this thread about the child-known-as-Archie's being denied a title is precisely the result of taking at face-value American sources and an interviewer who didn't even bother to do her own due diligence and who utterly failed to ask follow-up questions that she should have.
