This morning I was taking my son to school. 7am news break pops on for the local talk station. They use the syndicated Fox News deal. The clips they played were from both Hochel and Fetterman. Ok, whatever... The quotes themselves were not earth shattering. Hochel was putting down the republican by blaming guns and lack of background checks. Fetterman's quote was actually fairly articulate, not great, but not bad. He was speaking of how he had a stroke, "and Mr Ozz won't let him forget that". Sympathy play I guess.

Then the Glenn Beck show started. They were playing clips of both debates, and all four players involved. The Dems sounded absolutely horrid in comparison, not only to their competitors, but also the clips I had just heard. My kids, with no prep, public speaking experience or knowledge of the facts, could have done better.

It surely looks as if the establishment holds the reigns. The ministry of truth is so big already, we can't even see it.

Welcome to the party ;) they have been running cover for Biden since he announced his candidacy and for Fetterman throughout his campaign. Hochel mostly gets a pass because it's NY but that is changing because of all of the video of the crime happening. If she would have just fired DA Bragg it would have made a big difference but now Zeldin is looking like he'll win and Bragg will get the axe anyway.

For the most part I get my news from the smaller sites, so it just really caught me off guard.

They hope we forget, but it's hard for me to forget what even Fox News did on Election night to Arizona in 2020...

Etched in my brain, all the Bullshit that was witnessed by all who bothered to see.

Attack Pubs? Check. Pulpits? Check. Newspapers? Check. You Pesky Peasants. You're going to eat bugs, and like it.

I've had a lot of people ask "why are you changing the channel, wasn't it on fox news?"

Um no, fox news (national) is bleh and I would question leaving in on while the dogs are home alone. However, local phoenix fox news is a Cal Worthington spot for used democrats. KTAR is no better. It's widely viewed across the valley as conservative. I've tried to listen but my ears keep squinting.

We are in a strange time, especially for the elderly. Getting information is extremely easy. Vetting that information is more difficult. So they (the old folk) all fall back on what they believe are trusted sources and those sources are definitely manipulating their demographic to lean only one way.

I believe local stations like fox news here in phoenix will die out with the older generation.
