Please enlighten me on what Fox lies about. They're not perfect but I'd trust Fox over CNN.

You can’t be serious…

This isn't a rebuttal lol

I’ll provide links, articles, fabricated graphics etc, but a short list of the Fox News fuckery

- Their biggest personalities went on-air and claimed no politician could change the gas prices during the W. Bush era

- They altered charts and graphs detailing the Obama unemployment numbers

- Any time a Fox personality gets in legal trouble and held accountable for their coverage, they play the satire card. A Judge recently ruled in Tucker Carlsons favor in a defamation case because, ”No reasonable person would take Tucker Carlson seriously.”

- Fox has famously been against vaccine mandates on-air, while also mandating the vaccine to their employees…

- Fox has been historically against gay marriage, while having multiple homosexual, married anchors and hosts.

- The Fox Jan 6 coverage speaks for itself…

Fox News is the reason CNN is the way they are today. Fox just tells their base what they want to hear, and they tuned in at record numbers. They’re they number 1 news network because of it. All CNN is doing is trying to be the liberal Fox. But it’s clearly not working

CNN off the top of my head

-Demonized Trump calling him racist for not wanting ILLEGAL immigrants

-Only report on police shootings involving Black Americans creating a victimhood narrative. (Being AA myself in a majority White area, I know this is BS. FBI stats also prove otherwise.)

-Misrepresented border situation involving Haitians, making it seem like they were being whipped by border patrol.

-Referred to murderous riots as peaceful protests while still talking about Jan 6th

-Currently trying to redefine the definition of recession to save face for Biden

-Don Lemon openly demonized White men saying their the biggest terror threat in United States (Saying that about any other group would've been called racist)

-Constantly talked about the dangers of covid while not condemning riots but condemning church gatherings

-pretends not to know the definition of a woman

-Cut out parts of George Zimmerman audio to make situation look more racial

- Completely ignored Hunter Biden laptop story even though it confirms that Bidens administration is trying to sabotage America in favor of China.

A rebuttal isn't needed because Fox spewing misinformation is a well-known fact.

Misinformation 😂 Yeah, I know what network you get your news from. I watch both for contrast. CNN is full of slimeballs. Shouldn't be surprised you of all people are for it.

Yea Fox news lies all the time, so much that is it an extremely rare shock if they even tell the truth once a year. CNN may not always tell the truth but Fox lies at least 100 times more. It is clear to me that this Sagemode87 guy is just a far right extremist so his opinions and views on what is the truth are based on him being so far right, he thinks things are facts that many times are just his opinion or misinformation from the constantly lying right wing media.

Even my moderate Republican Friend says that Fox news is a propaganda network that lies all the time and he is right wing.

-Doesn't matter what color the Illegal immigrants are. They're ILLEGAL.

- Why did you automatically go to White? Just curious, whats your ethnic background/age? There's more than 2 races in this country. But yes, there's a White guy that died just like George Floyd did, no media outrage. His name was Tony Timpa. Look him up. Police brutality isn't a race issue. They just want certain groups to feel like victims. Look up FBI stats. Liberal media blows up every single White on Black police encounter and now it's considered racist for them to even do their job.

-No comment? They had lassos to round people up then CNN misrepresented the situation to make it seem like they were whipping them. Doesn't sound like they're stirring up the pot?

-Antifa is an organization, not a whole race. Had Tucker Carlson said that about Black men , it would've been a problem. We have to get rid of double standards.

-I'm sorry but Jan 6th doesn't compare to the riots of 2020. One person died Jan 6th while dozens of people died during the Floyd riots, hundreds raped and injured, Billions in property damage and so on.

-Why yes, I can give you both definitions if you'd like. Our newest addition to the Supreme Court couldn't identify what a woman was because she's not a "biologist". Go figure.

-Didn't defend him. I said CNN cut out information from audio that's it. Also following someone isn't starting a fight. Was he supposed to continue letting his head get bashed into the pavement because he followed him? Why would he allow damage if he was looking to just shoot him? I doubt you're going to let a stranger beat on you in the middle of the night thinking "I deserve this, I followed him". I doubt you followed that case and evidence so I'll leave that be. You're probably fixated on the fact that they showed a picture of Martin that was 5 years old at the time. No manipulation there at all...

-There's literal videos of it online but I doubt you knew that. Looks like CNN ignoring stories is working.

-You probably think Kyle Rittenhouse should've went to jail for defending himself.

I used to think like you until seeing the lies left media spreads over 10 years ago.

@Sagemode87: Yes, the “left media“ is lying to its viewers. You’re right. But you're also only halfway there. The “right media” is lying to you as well. You don’t have to pick a side. There are no “teams” in this. The media is playing to the tribal nature of human beings, and preying on it for viewership and ad revenue.

Zimmerman is a shit stain. Police told him to fall back from his “pursuit.” He had run-ins with the law after his acquittal. He’s a bad guy… Rittenhouse is a different story. He also had no business being where he was…

I‘m 38. Half black, half white. Military vet. I’ve lived all over the U.S. and traveled all over the world. Now married with 3 kids. I’ve seen racism from all sides. Manipulation and misinformation is coming from both political parties. If you are condemning one news network/political party while defending the other, that just means you either aren’t paying attention, or you’re participating in one networks/parties fuckery. Us being divided is the ONLY reason goofballs like Ted Cruz, MTG, Lauren Bobert, Jim Jordan, Matt Gaetz, all those spineless democrats etc have jobs… None of those people are good at what they do. Some couldn’t even graduate High School ffs…

And now we have folks like Ben Shapiro trying to tell us what an “alpha male“ is… Ben is the furthest from an alpha ANYTHING. Tucker Carlson? Sean Hannity? Those are Alpha men?!?! Now I see why they are clinging to their guns so hard…

Another win for women, and yet another lost for sexist low life’s. Low the new drip feed of content

its not the fact they are changing the lead role. its the fact the have to make the white male look weak and pathetic and dumb. just saying. look at the way male characters are today. no muscle tone. you don't see a female calling for help any more because they have to be brave and strong just like every woman in the world lol.

Well that was a ride.....anyway

GTA6 female protagonist w/e makes 0 difference honestly couldn't care less.

GTA6 self censoring in order to not offend, sorry no miss me with that, GTA is supposed to be an extreme caricature the offensive content is there to hold up a mirror to some of the more stupid things people do/say and go look see how we've turned this up to 11 and it's obviously stupid to everyone yeah that's you when you start going down that road. Better yet when GTA was at its' best they did it to everyone and everything. From the direction GTA online took I'm not even sure that Studio is capable of producing a GTA game worthy of the name anymore.

That doesn't matter to me. I think the character creator in GTA SA is the best option and let the player decide.

Could be okay, could be catastrophic.

TLOU2 had TWO female leads and ended up as the GOTG last gen.

This is Rockstar North, top 4 S tier developer. It will be a 95+ MC masterpiece.

According to who? Abby was a trash character.

The game will be a shitshow.

Female lead, No offensive jokes and live service. Who honestly makes these decisions? GTAV was the most successful game of all time and your trying out ways to change what made it successful?

I'm not going to boycott it I just most likely won't be interested.

I think having a female protagonist in GTA is fine, I also like it when they let you choose which gender you want to play as in games like in Fallout 4 as one example.

The whole franchise went downhill with GTA IV and V, meaning the story and characters evolved into being hilariously entertaining, most of all TREVOR in GTA V, but the gameplay more or less really started to suck and i asked myself what happend to all those clever and entertaining missions in all those other GTA-Titles besides IV and V...even that you could switch through 3 different characters in GTA V, that game left alot to be desired gameplay-wise.

When i want to watch kewl and funny characters playing along some good story, i go watch a movie, if i want to play a game i want to fu**ing PLAY IT.

Now "PLAYING" as to how i understand it, is something similiar to "complete missions" with "shooting people" and "stealing cars", not spending hours with driving from point A to point B, where i then actually start "PLAYING" the actual fu**ing missions and if i fu** up, i can shove my ass through miles of highway again just to get to the mission starting-point...again.

Yeah i know...you guys just love driving from A to B for endless hours, coz it gives the game that great portion or realism you love so much about videogames.
