    I remember with each Presidential change, that when a Republican president came into power, they had a budget surplus, created by their democratic predecessor, which they then squandered, and when it was tome to switch to a democratic president, they got a deficit, and managed to work theyr way out of it. Each time, fox would comment on how these Democrat presidents always had a deficit. It was, and continues to be, maddening.

    Require news organizations to be truthful again, fuck that “but much first amendment” bullshit, one has nothing to do with the other

      Require news organizations to be truthful again,

      Faux News has stated in court that they are not a “news organization”, they are “entertainment”.

      It’s the same in the UK. Within 15 minutes of the Tories finally (hopefully) losing power in the next election they’ll be gesturing to the shit state of things, that they themselves caused, and saying “Look at how the Labour government has ruined this country!”
