    Foxnews.com this morning contains NO MENTION of the Trump Taxes story on their homepage. This is the most watched and most trusted news network in America.

    Other Foxnews front page stories today include:

    “NYT report shows Minneapolis City Council members who regret signing pledge to dismantle police department”

    “Biden’s team responds to Trump’s call for screenings before debates”

    “WHERE'S HUNTER? Trump takes press to task for skipping over Biden son's scandals”

    _______________

    This is the mainstream media, the singular news source for more Americans than any other.

    America, you’re being brainwashed.

    • It's really difficult to know how to react to things like this, now. It's almost like the goal is — for those few aren't brainwashed — to wear people down untilContinuity
    • ... until they're simply too exhausted to care anymore.Continuity
    • I love how proud you are to point out propaganda exists in America. Such cutting, much edge. It’s brainwashing if 1 it’s consumed 2. Believed.imbecile
    • But wait! It’s just... Oops, all lies!imbecile
    • But it is. Just watch, the poll numbers won’t change over this.nb
    • Also, do you think this post makes me PROUD?!nb
    • Uncle Rupert is consumed and believed by many imbecile. Not just the US. To state otherwise is naive in the extreme.sausages
    • Fox is straight up propaganda. The rest of the media is propaganda too, for corporations rather. At least they break it up with some occasional journalism.jtb26
    • Fox knows that the only thing they need to do between now and the election is promise that this psycho catholic woman will be on the courts.jtb26
    • The poll numbers won’t change because people don’t give a fuck if he paid taxes or notGnash
    • Everyone already new this in 2016. It didn’t make a diff thenGnash
    • @Gnash - Exactly. They have no bottom and no concerns other than to own the libs. They are the apocalypse.CyBrainX
    • I think people who are saying it's old news are not really understanding the story. It's not just that he paid almost nothing in taxes, it's that heyuekit
    • is in serious financial trouble. There is at least half a billion in debt that would come due during his second term.yuekit
    • Not generally a situation you would want a president to be in lol. And this is just the first in a series of stories apparently.yuekit
    • it's not viewed as fact. if you're going to call fox brainwashing, then every other lie we consume is brainwashing, so it's not brainwashing, it's stupidity.imbecile
    • Remember, only about 1/3rd of the country voted for him, let's stop saying the entire country supports him or watches fox.whatthefunk
    • LOL https://slate.com/ne…imbecile
    • Slate also isn’tGnash
    • "most trusted"fadein11
    • Yeah, it's by far the most trusted by their viewers. Ask a Foxnews viewer how much they trust fox. Might as well be their church.nb
    • As an outsider, I always thought CNN was the USAs main news source. I’ve always seen fox as a bit of an outlierGnash
    • But we don’t get Fox News where I am. CNN is ‘USA’ news hereGnash
    • we're not far behind you in the uK - paul dacre from the daily heil could be in charge of ofcom

      woowahesque
    • dunno. DrudgeReport is covering it pretty good.dibec
    • You ignore what the judge says because it was reported by slate? ignore the message because you don't like the messenger? how many MAGA hats do you own?imbecile
    • @dibec, that's because Matt Drudge went really sour on Trump some time ago, and turned on him.Continuity
    • Where is deathboy to act like a condescending cunt on the subject while coming off as a drooling moron?monospaced
    • @continuity, true. a glint of reason, perhaps ...dibec
    • Well lets keep in context historically. His finances were suppose to prove russian collusion and paymentsdeathboy
    • did they? Now how to biden and family taxes sync up with russian influences? Poorly according to senate report, which is better than anon nytimes...deathboy
    • but as far as what news doesn't report... how much shit does nytimes throw to back pages or ghost edits later?... hate to say most is all tabloid these daysdeathboy
    • but if the "leaked" info showed russian or any illegality its a pretty soft report from those who want to senationalize anythingdeathboy

    Trump claimed he read Woodward’s book “last night really fast because it’s so boring” to Fox & Friends. Then two days later he made the exact same claim of reading it “last night really fast because it’s so boring.”

    This rich fucking moron is the product of everything that’s wrong with America. Who lies about reading a book? Is he 12?

    How embarrassing that this is what kids are growing up with as an example of a leader. Uggggh.

    • he'll say his days are a longer as yours.uan
    • He's off his face on speed. Memory lapses are probably quite regular occurrences for him.PhanLo
    • He's completely banjoed on Adderall pretty much most of his waking hours to stop his brain collapsing in on itself.face_melter
    • There's no conscious effort at self-control or self-awareness because he gets bored before he even finishes the sentence he's speaking.face_melter
    • Regarding the "leader" part, this has actually been really helpful to me in showing why hierarchies are nonsenseR_Kercz
    • I mean if you’re going to lie about reading a book, at least make it Infinite Jestnb
    • We all knew he was a complete ass before he even ran for office. I wish it wasn't still headline news every day.nuggler
    • @nuggler - that's just it - Trump has been on my mental "he's a total dick" list since the mid 90s sometime. Strange to see the cult following he has.Nairn

    • copy now though, keep saying to myself I must finish it.fadein11
    • If I'm honest I enjoyed his biography morefadein11
    • I checked out at "he read"Akagiyama
    • What kinda of leader shall we hold as God like nb? Or is trump perfect example to say "hey kid" this is the reality work hard and do t rely on these goonsdeathboy
    • Deathboy comes up with the most ridiculous justifications for anything, so long as it matches his ideology. A sign of a man too confident to know he’s a fool.nb

    • lived in NYC for a couple years and paid more tax there than i would have in the UK (at the time). i think americans just don't understand tax bracketskingsteven
    • Who wants to live in theredeathboy
    • zark, a car is a basic necessity in the US, unless you live ina city in which it's still usually a necessity. Nothing knee jerk about living in reality, face.PonyBoy
    • Not sure want you mean by 'irony fairies' although you are living in a fairytale if you think the US Gov can provide the 'basic necessities' for 320+ Mill...PonyBoy
    • ...folks from all walks of life and culture.
      Just get the fucking prices down(& of course get the zero-paying corpos on the paying side of the dole already).

    • A car is not a necessity, it's a very convenient thing but it's not necessary.zarkonite
    • A home is. Do I get a home? :P I'm fine w/a nice Chicago 3 story brownstone. All our own. Who determines who gets what btw? Who gets the 'good' 'necessities'?PonyBoy
    • It's called public housing, and research shows it helps the economy. You'll have to work for your brownstone, cuz that's not a necessity.zarkonite
    • It's a shame we don't push that idea more—or really even talk about it much. But I'm grateful you at least mentioned the idea of having to 'work' for something.PonyBoy
    • like how things 'work' in most developed countries :)kingsteven
    • In rich and successful Singapore, 80% of the people live in subsidized dwellings: https://www.economis…zarkonite
    • When you take care of people's basic needs they are free to pursue higher callings like starting a business, etc. It increases freedom, it's a good thing.zarkonite

    America will not be great until all Americans have access to healthcare without fear of going broke.

    Sorry if the truth hurts. Good countries take care of their citizens.

    • So glad to be Canadian, especially in these times...
      I feel sorry for you my American mates
      nbq
    • yupmoldero
    • Sorry, also - America will not be great until it does *something* about its guns - otherwise the cycle of fear and violence has no reason to stop perpetuating.Nairn
    • also, also. Systemic racism, and our shitty educational system keeping us ignorant. The USA needs more critical thinking.brandonp
    • changing things that are so culturally encrusted into a society takes generations to moveBennn
    • any nation will be great when citizens put their fitness & wellness as a priority so that healthcare needs are minor & infrequent. It's difficult to heal stupidBustySaintClaire
    • Fuck off busty. Your argument is so juvenile, it takes no effort to see the holes in it.nb
    • ^ aww, you're hurt again, pity, you can have the pillow after utopian. You've reminded us to add mental health to the list. Good citizens look after themselves.BustySaintClaire
    • Your dumb theory excludes all diseases which primary risk factors aren’t behavioral. But I guess fuck those people, right?nb
    • Hmm. Us pays more than other countries...what do u expect besides rationing?deathboy
    • Oh deathboy, more dumbness from younb
    • It annoys when people defend the US system as something good or necessary, when there are like 80+ countries with better healthcare systems.nb
    • Uhm better... Explain why and what that means. We spend more as per of gdp for medicare than most countries u think are greatdeathboy
    • We could expand that to 100% vs less than 20 and we d have universal care. Same as other countries but we spend more cause we care...deathboy
    • But that doesn't mean quality care. It doesn't mean innovation. It means lowest possible care. Which will drive up costs and make decent care unaffordable fordeathboy
    • Creating serfs who rely on free shit they pay for through taxes and rich who have extra capital. Maybe one day u will realize the shit u are for has the opposideathboy
    • Te effect of your intentions.deathboy

    Oldie but a goodie

    • Its stunning that people celebrate this system.R_Kercz
    • :( I hope he gets well soon. His work is amazing.Maaku
    • is this guy a qbner? or just an illustrator-about-to...sarahfailin
    • dammit qbn. is he just some illustrator?sarahfailin
    • @R_Kercz... stunning and demential!!OBBTKN
    • ^He's just some illustrator @Sarahfailin. I think you'd have noticed if he posted on here. His work is outstanding.PhanLo
    • His work is really greatR_Kercz
    • yeah, I'm following him on tw, love his art... this is insameOBBTKN
    • If your illness doesn't have a corresponding test and pill, western medicine can't do much if anything for youTurboslacker
    • Where's your savings for hard unpredictable times? Obamacare's covers it all after about 6500 out of pocket. Like financing 5 iphonesdeathboy
    • One thing is surprising is how much mo ey u can get publicly. Love me church collection plates. A kid got 22k so far for refusing to serve coffee to a person indeathboy
    • Just goes to show maybe a free market even so stupid allows those with ability to find health shit do it without relying on insurance. Let it competedeathboy
    • ooo man i'm so happy with living in a healthcare state. Americans are often ignorant to not want to pay loads of taxes to the government, resulting in this.milfhunter
  • imbecile13

    • A well educated populous doesn’t serve anyone, I’d like to say especially the republicans but the dems are no better_niko
    • Totally agree. E.g., who benefits from keeping the black community where they've been? Why has so little been done to elevate this group so clearly in need?MondoMorphic
    • Re. the Republicans, they're idiots. While they did end slavery, led suffrage, etc, they've not done much for the black community since...MondoMorphic
    • And as for the dems, they clearly don't want to see the black community elevated.MondoMorphic
    • War on drugs screwed the black community like no other. But if your rich, you can have all the drugs you want.Turboslacker
    • Yep, it's awful!MondoMorphic
    • an elevated black community is what everyone wants to alleviate social problems on society.hotroddy
    • republicans want them to work. democrats want to parent them.hotroddy
    • both are valid. but to say we want to keep them down is ridiculous. we want to move on at worst. we want blacks to prosper at best.hotroddy
    • maybe not you but other people's action can be interpret as trying to keep then down.
      through redlining, gerrymandering, and other tactics.
