Fox News leading today with...
... illegal immigrant murder of Mollie Tibbetts in Iowa.
... Trump rally in West Virgnia
... interview of Manchin's GOP opponent, Patrick Morrisey
... Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez's lament of a coffee house closing
The President's lawyer and campaign manager are both convicted and Fox News, the next news day, buries it on TV and their website. Is it any wonder their audience is so terribly uniformed and this country is so divided?

Triggered much? A simple click on foxnews.com and I can clearly see a story about Manafort and Gates just under the Molie Tibbetts story. MSNBC is 100% trump bashing, but CNN features Mollie Tibbetts, Manafort, and Aretha Franklin.

Fox News - kicking the fake news's ass in the ratings and triggering liberals since 2002
Fair and balanced

10 years from now, will American's even know who Mollie Tibbets was? I think her murder was tragic, but there is no way its the major news story of the day. The convictions of Manafort and Cohen are HUGE news stories... stories with far-reaching implications on this Presidency and future ones, as well. Fox established itself as the Republican News Network, but now its taking it even further. They are Donald Trump's personal news channel... truly state news.

I'm sorry, when was Cohen's trial?
Maybe you will care when an illegal gets around to murdering a young female in your family. It's a pretty damn big story when this happens in Iowa. This isn't Cali, Texas, NM, Arizona, it's middle-America Iowa.
Cohen, Manafort- Trump voters don't give a **** unless Mueller can prove the two of them acted WITH TRUMP AND RUSSIA to steal the 2016 election. It's been 18 months and Mueller is at the plate 0-2 in the bottom of the 9th with two out. All he has managed to do is foul off a couple of 100 mph fastballs.

Ahem*
I am Ooooofended by your assumption here.
I am properly uniformed for my position, each and every day. 7 days a week, actually.
Uniform consists of shorts and a t-shirt. Oh and a big asss cup of coffee.
Bigly.

What do those stories have to do with "Russian Collusion"?
That was why this whole dog & pony show was started... Russian Collusion based on a phony dossier.
Seems to me that if an investigation was started based on false information that ANYTHING garnered from it would be off the "poison tree" so to speak.
Guess this justifies the same treatment to the next demmie to occupy the oval office.
As for Ms. Tibbetts I think it's FAR WORSE that a innocent LEGAL citizen is killed by someone here ILLEGALLY who would be under the protection of the left and their sanctuary cities.
In the grand scheme, which means more.

Molly Tibbet's family will remember who she was. If her life wasn't snuffed out by an illegal, she may have done something that would make her memorable to everyone. Your complete lack of empathy speaks volumes about you and it doesn't speak well.

LOL. I lived overseas for some of the George W Bush administration. My cable only got CNN International and Fox News. But CNN International really doesn't show much American content (Its rather useless with shows about Sailing and Fashion). If I was watching Fox News and they weren't talking about Bush, I knew to get on the internet because that usually meant something big was happening and I needed to jump on the net to see what they were trying to downplay.

Its not necessarily about her individually. Its about Trump saying these illegals are a bunch of murdering thugs, fake news being outraged, and Trump once again being right and showing what a problem it is.

Not how investigations work. Other crimes get uncovered during one, you don't get a pass on them because that's not what you were investigating. Those crime STILL are subject to prosecution. Really don't know why this silly argument keeps being made. A Trump hooker murder gets uncovered, no one is gonna argue "what's that got to do with collusion". Well, no one but the TDS Trumpers.

of course her family will remember, but its not a national news story. There will be roughly 50 murders today in the US... all of them tragic; yet this is may be the 3rd time in the history of this country that a sitting President has been implicated for a felony. We are headed for a constitutional crisis, probable impeachment, and possible conviction of a sitting President and yesterday's events were huge. I realize for the Fox crowd it might be a nothingburger, but for the rest of the country that lives outside of the bubble, this is the biggest Presidential story/scandel since Watergate.

You are living in the past. No sitting president will get impeached because Obama has already left office.

I'm curious, why is the far right focused on the tragic Tibbets murder and not say, the murder of the Watts family in Colorado?
Undocumented migrants are NOT a bunch of murdering thugs, any more than white Christian evangelicals are (I'm sure I can find you any number of cases where the perpetrator was a white evangelical).

RE: Fox News leading today with...
Now Obama's abuse of the powers of the presidency is bigger than Watergate. Nixon had some idiot subordinate hire some amateur crooks to spy on the hapless McGovern campaign. The FBI and CIA were not involved and they would not participate in the coverup when Nixon tried to protect the idiots who had done the "plumbing."
Obama's administration had the FBI and CIA heavily involved in spying on the political opposition and covering up those crimes, weaponizing the IRS, using the Justice Department to spy on unfriendly media.
And the Democrats and media are protecting the Obama administration. The media went after Nixon and the Republicans told him he had to leave, people like Barry Goldwater and Howard Baker.

You can't figure that out or are you just being obtuse?
Weren't you just in another thread bitching that Trump was never vetted? Was this illegal ever vetted when he was processed through proper immigration channels?
