Some things reported on FoxNews are true.  I have never denied that.  FoxNews tells a lot of lies, but I have NEVER said everything they report is false.

Who said what you just answered. 

So that's a Yes to: 

You can't judge the substance of the story based on where it is disseminated to include Fox News?

Again this seems to be from a time after Biden was out of office but also...

May 19, 2017, Hunter Biden makes reference to "my Chairman gave an emphatic no" -- a source familiar tells #FoxNews when Hunter talks about his Chairman, he is referring to his father Joe Biden. pic.twitter.com/jxd0YdTU3T

Yes.  I never attack a story based solely on the source unless there are no real facts out there to prove it one way or another.

For example, when this story about the Biden computer broke I never said for sure it was not true.  Instead I just pointed out the facts that made me doubt it.  i.e Blind owner could not identify Biden, seemed unlikely Biden would never return for laptop containing sensitive material, shop owner was a Trump supporter.

What did you ask about the echo chamber?

I have no idea what this even means.

Like I said before, when the right-wing echo chamber programs a speaking point into your conversation I post facts to prove why it is wrong.  I don't just say it is wrong because it comes from a right-wing source.

*Reporters* at the WSJ, Fox News, and NYP have all come to the same conclusion about these documents but they are being drowned out by bad faith activists on the opinion side at these Murdoch companies who favor Trump’s re-election. That is the story. https://t.co/QrHdPVTcBq

More.

"The venture—set up in 2017 after Biden left the vice presidency and before his presidential campaign—never received proposed funds from the Chinese company or completed any deals...Corporate records reviewed by The WSJ show no role for Joe Biden." https://t.co/FoHeyCCs0Y

And that's the WSJ.  Not exactly "left leaning".

[fredtoast]

Ths story about Trumps Chinese bank account pretty much cut the legs out from under the criticism of Biden doing business with communist China after he was no longer Vice President.

And the Ukraine story never had any legs because the removal of Shokin was not only official US policy but also working in conjunction with The World Bank and most of the European Union. Everyone giving any aid to the Ukraine wanted Shokin removed. It had nothing to do with Hunter Biden or Burisma.

Quote:U.S. Postal Service records show delivery delays have persisted across the country as millions of Americans are voting by mail, raising the possibility of ballots being rejected because they arrive too late.

Postal data through Oct. 9, the latest numbers available, show nearly all the agency’s delivery regions missing its target of having at least 95% of first-class mail arrive within five days. Parts of the presidential battleground states of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Ohio fell short of delivery goals by wide margins as the agency struggles to regain its footing after a tumultuous summer.

Good times...

Wait times for early voting around Atlanta have been as long as 11 hours.

This is why the GOP wants to limit drop off boxes.

My wife did a mail in ballot. I preferred to do mail in, but I’m too concerned they will throw away my ballot if the signatures don’t match so I’m doing early voting in person.

How much you want to be that the "presence" on the moon will be a Trump Resort.

He couldn't afford it if he wanted to.
