The official Fox News rewriting of Trump's history has begun before the election thread

This is so jaw droppingly unbelievable. Fox News hosts claiming Trump never said Mexican immigrants are rapists. Not only did he indicated most Mexican immigrants are rapist but said "some" are good people, which means most of them are rapists. We have the recording. How many more things will Fox News downright lie about? Will it work?

I hope Biden if he gets into office re-writes the rules for news channels. Networks cannot be allowed to outright lie. They can keep their 1A rights but the will no longer be a licensed "news" network. Fox can be allowed to create a political entertainment channel. Let them try to beat the Simpsons in the ratings.

Conservatives have been claiming he never said that from the day he said it. We have threads on this very forum arguing about it. I know because I participated, making the exact same point: that if he has to assume some are good people then that implies he has never met one that is good. If he had, he wouldn't need to assume, he would know. Of course, this is all hand-waved away with "he didn't mean that."

actually, Fox is already registered as a "political entertainment channel," if that is what you wish to call them. They have long skirted any kind of self-governed ethical mandate, or even quasi-legal ethics requirement because they are registered under the FCC as an "entertainment" agency.

If it weren't for Reagan's successful efforts to repeal the Fairness Doctrine that actually regulated the ability for such organizations to blatantly lie to the public under the farcical guise of "fair and balanced news," then FNN could never have existed.

It always comes back to: "The guy that always tells it like it is and means what he says!" ..."didn't really mean that," or, "you just don't understand what he meant."

Trumpists are real life carnival caricatures of themselves.

I still like my idea of the DNC or independent groups collecting and replaying all of Trumps bullshit over the last 4 years (stuff right before the election too) on every TV and radio station as much as possible right up to election day. And of course Youtube and Facebook if they are willing to host it.
I think they should start just far enough from the election that Fox and the other propaganda networks dont have too much time to lie, refute, or make up excuses for all his crap.

Like this progression of thought:

Pot meet kettle. Pathetic at best.

Great selection. Guess what? Won't make any difference to my ignores in this thread. Which is like every other post in this thread.
