So far this thread has been moved from Biden making money via his son, who was using Biden's name to make money to his sister writing a book.  And you seem to want to make it as if any family member who does anything is "living off the name" and that is "bad".  So I'm just wondering where you've been for the last four years when Ivanka and Jared had jobs in the white house and made hundreds of millions, when Ivanka was doing business with China while working in the white house, etc.

They got caught covering up the laptop story, and come January there will be a reckoning. Just wait and see.

Oh wait...they did.

Vanity Fair.... really? And you laugh at Fox News?
See, Dems don't care that Killary signed off on selling 20% of our Uranium to Russia. Dems don't care that 6 billion (with a B) went missing while she was Secretary of State, or that she refused numerous requests for added security in Libya prior to our Ambassador and others being slaughtered. And Dems don't care that she orchestrated the whole Russia Collusion lie against Trump, and even had people hacking him while President. Dems don't care about any of the shady crap she did, But it's still being investigated. They just won't bring the charges while Pelosi and Schumer are running cover.

There's a reason their ratings blow CNN and MSNBC out of the water. It's the liberal way though to just ignore anything they hear or read from Fox, because they don't hear the same thing on CNN or MSNBC. Then over and over again, Fox is proven right, just as in the Hunter Biden laptop story. First CNN and all the others said it was untrue, then they said it was Russian Disinformation, then they said it didn't prove anything about Joe being involved, now they claim "it's just not interesting" It's laughable anyone trusts anybody but Fox. But the left just wants to live in its own little bubble and not be told things they don't like.

In all seriousness it is because of ratings share and the demographics they serve. The demographics more likely to watch Fox News are also the demographics just more likely to be watching television more often and watching those sorts of shows. The demographics that tend to be left-leaning are not the ones that watch as much television, especially not the news channels. And when they do, they have multiple networks on the main cable networks. The right has Fox News and a higher percentage of television viewers in general. It has nothing to do with the value of their content.

Your statement reads like saying, well since there's no completely unbiased reporting, one source is as good or bad as the other and it does not matter. I'd say there are nuances. Eg. CNN imho is quite biased, but in general they have at least the facts straight and they at times at least try to let people from the other side of topics have their say. And they can sure critizise Biden and Democrats.  FOX, on the other hand, is a 'we hate everything liberal' show, where opinions are sold as undisputable facts all the time and no one (since Wallace, who I genuinely liked, is gone) had anything but unwavering praise for Trump.


As a foreigner who used to have lots of issues with our own media - I feel almost every news source in my country is more unbiased than almost every US source. Plus most serious German outlets, or BBC, come quite close to being unbiased, especially in comparison.
