    Best drinking buddies.
    Smith is the token, disgusting, spreader of fake news working at Fox.

    New York's hottest club is Rupert's. This place has everything. Loofahs, ass slapping, lying, cheating, drooling, swearing, sweating, bawbags, wankpuffins and a little troll that pops out of the wall to announce the overnight ratings.

    Real reporters. As opposed to Faux reporters like Hannity, Ingraham and Carlson are abandoning Fox as the Trump Supporters Club.

    Fox News correspondent resigns amid reports that network staff are sick of being a Trump propaganda channel
    BRAD REED
    A Fox News correspondent has abruptly resigned from his job amid reports that Fox staff members are tired of seeing the network transformed into a pro-Trump propaganda channel.

    The Wrap reports that Fox News foreign correspondent Conor Powell stepped down this week after nine years reporting for the network.

    “After nearly 9 years, I have decided to resign from Fox News,” Powell announced on his Facebook page. “Those of you who have spoken to me in recent months, you will understand why I am leaving FNC.”

    While Powell himself hasn’t publicly stated why he’s stepped down, a source within the network tells The Wrap that he’s just one of many people on the news team who are frustrated with the network’s emphasis on supporting Trump-loving opinion hosts such as Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson, and Laura Ingraham over more hard news reporting.


    Fox News military analyst Ralph Peters earlier this year similarly stepped down from Fox News, while specifically calling it out for being a “propaganda” operation for President Donald Trump.

    Good for them. Real journalists have much reason to be proud of their profession. It is among the most honorable.

    I'm sure Trump calling them the enemy of the people doesn't help either.

    You know that doesn't apply to Fox, don't you?

    For sure. I meant it's likely that real reporters at FOX do not appreciate when other outlets are attacked with the tacit approval of their employer, which makes the decision to walk away easier.

    Bingo. No real reporter accepts his/her profession being called the enemy of the people. I would guess that damn few of them will vote for Trump.

    He may be a token, but he is part of the few there that actually do news, the pundits are the ones with the fake shit.

    No station that makes errors like that qualifies as "news."

    She's reading it off a teleprompter. How can they think Japan was Communist over there. Who's doing the fact-checking? What vendetta do they have against Japan?

    I can't even blame the Internet for Fox. But rural America, yes I can blame it. Oh yes.

    Over the last three weeks Ive stayed at half a dozen offramp hotels. Quality Inn, Super 8, Clarion...They vary only in age. Every morning, in the continental breakfast, Ive had to change the channel away from Fox and Friends. EVERY one.

    I used to stay in two types of hotels -

    1) Hyatt/Marriott level in big cities, for business
    2) Holiday Inn Express/Quality Inn in outskirts, for youth soccer

    A whole different crowd. The first wouldn't be much for Fox & Friends, many would be Republican but Fox & Friends would be too partisan and unprofessional for the setting. The second, oh yeah.

    Don't fault Fox News. They are doing a public service. They are putting unfortunate unqualified people to work.
