cannot listen to the truth if it lasts over 6 minutes to tell it. They'd much rather listen to a nice, short lie (30 seconds or less) that they can then repeat to all their right-wing friends and all be outraged together. The truth, if it's going to take 6 minutes to relate, just won't cut it for a FOX viewer. I guarantee 90% of FOX viewers stopped listening to this before Shep hit the 1 minute mark.

Trump's snide accusations were all lies and he knew they were but he wanted to "get her". The man is without conscience or integrity. He will not apologize as he doesn't know how to about anything. He truly is scum. Never have we had a president this despicable. I hope Shep's report goes far and wide so the whole world knows just how malicious Trump and these repubs are towards Clinton who is the most vindicated politician in America after being attacked incessantly and always found to be innocent. We need more truth about Clinton's attacker's lies. I shed tears for all she has had to endure from these heartless sociopaths. I can disagree with her but she has never deserved to be scandalized. Her accusers are incapable of feeling shame but they are shameful and whatever they throw at her should return to them 100 fold.

It's a made-up pile of BS, created by alt-right (neo-Nazi) idjits to deflect from dRumpy's criminal activity.

I had to watch a Hannity video where he claims it went to Canada and Asia. I searched and found on Fact check it went to Canada for processing and then supposedly came back to the US for use in power plants only.

These people are impervious to evidence and logic. We can't even agree on a common reality.

any FOX reporter can remove the greasy film of FOX lies from their skin at the end of their day. It's like being a short-order cook. The smell, feel, and taste of grease remains with you constantly, no matter how hard you try to remove it. The taint of FOX is impossible to remove.

...If Trump were TRULY concerned about Rosatom's ownership of an American mine, he could have signed an Executive Order on January 20, 2017, mandating a divestiture.

He didn't. He won't. He doesn't care. Or rather: He cares about the issue only to the extent that he can use it to whip up Clinton-hate.

Visited our FRiends...and found not a single good word about him, and a LOT of homophobic slurs.

Not only can't they handle the truth, they will do anything possible to avoid hearing it, and deny it when it is staring them in the face. Several of them went on at length about how they watch Faux all day (except they turn it off as soon as Shep comes on), and how they are becoming some sort of 'deep state liberal mouthpiece. Anything that criticizes their limited worldview or doesn't completely support their warmed narrative is dismissed out of hand.

His message obviously didn't get through to a single one of the commenters in their thread about it. Now he's the 'fake news' reporter on Faux, according to them. Lots of total whackjob conspiracy theories about why they keep him on the air.

I'm going to take a shower now...

fixations that can't be crossed. Some are predisposed for this behavior and Fox News has used it to their advantage for viewers. Fox News is much like Joseph Goebbels during WWII, Germany.
