None of them are credible. Fox News viewers on the whole still think that Saddam Hussein helped plan 9/11 and that Obama is a Muslim. People who get their news from Fox know less about the world than people who don't watch the news at all because they're constantly lied to. RT is Putin's propaganda outlet, and Putin is pro-Trump because he wants to see NATO destroyed.

Im going to need some sources for the Saddam Hussein and Obama claims. Also for your second statment. Also, dont forget that RT has shit on Trump just as much as they had on Hillary.

How is Fox News not credible when other networks like CNN or NBC cite them? And RT is biased certainly but they are credible


Fox referred to a town in Maine where the average income is $16,000 as "rich white people." They've run stories claiming British cities with large Muslim populations are "no-go zones" for non-Muslims even when those cities still had large non-Muslim populations and were relatively peaceful. They just aren't reliable.

He has never mentioned Syria about oil, and he has only mentioned the oil in Iraq when saying that when we took over Iraq, we should have kept the oil. Now, compared to these same oil fields being under ISIS rule, and them being spoils of war, the USA would have had every right to kept them

Trump has NO policy platform. One second he's saying we should deploy 30,000 troops to Syria the next he's pretending to be an isolationist. He has NO plans on HOW he's going to enact anything he's proposed. He proposes things that are illegal, impossible, or blatantly self-destructive to the US' interests and the media lets it slide.

Meanwhile "Hillary gets out of the sun for 5 minutes" is considered newsworthy.

Tell me one thing that Trump has said that is illegal to do

"You have to go after their families." He advocated targeting terrorists' families. That's a war crime.

The extent of Fox and RT's "reporting" on her health has been baseless speculation and rumor-mongering.

Fox News actually did a good article that looks in depth at her medical record with numerous doctors. I try to look it up


OTOH, FOX News doesn't believe in science.
Donald Trump has no clue as to what "insuring the domestic tranquility" means

I can't tell if you think you're funny or if you realize that you aren't but are proceeding anyways.

If Clinton were to withdraw, the DNC would choose the nominee, which would likely be Tim Kaine.

This late in the game they are just going to pick whoever has a campaign.

Given all the things Trump has gotten away with saying, I think this is false.

For reference, here's just the stuff he's tweeted.

:rofl:

He didn't get away with saying it. You literally sourced a link from the most respected newspaper in America mentioning these things. I hope the irony of this was not lost:

"The media never talks about the bullshit Trump says, I mean look at this NYtimes Article, he says such bad stuff!!!!"

The oil fields under ISIS' control belong to Iraq and Syria, no the United States. There would be a helluva lot of international backlash if the US annexed territory in the middle east if that's what your suggesting.

It's exactly what gangsters would do. Hence my comparisons of Donny to mobsters in a number of my songs. Trump gangster-ism is right smack dab on the money accurate.

He has backtracked on almost anything he said. And often then retracted that backtracking. He's not the guy with a plan, he's just saying whatever.

Trump's policy changes every two days, if not every two minutes.
