I think that perception is somewhat inaccurate, but understandable based on local news, Fox News. and ubiquitous GOP advertising. Fear is a great motivator, and the GOP uses it to great effect. I’m sure the strategy will have some success this year. Crime generally goes down and has done so since 1990, it's why when it goes up, it's noticeable. If you notice, in 2001, crime spiked by 20%, but corrected itself in 2002 and dropped 15%. Interestingly enough, the spike actually took place from Oct 2001 to Feb 2002... that's why the drop didn't cover the increase. Trying to remember... what happened in September of 2001??? Thoughts? Anyway, other than that, the only other time there was a spike without a correction was Obama's last 2 years in office. It's obvious that the Summer of Love in 2020 (thanks to the "Defund the Police" movement), being behind that increase, but Biden's first year should've seen a correction. Instead though, it's only dropped slightly. You can call that a win, but it's well over 25% higher than 2019. In the real world, that's a loss. Calling 2022 a win is like a business saying that in they profited $500k in 2019, lost $300k in 2020 and lost $275k in 2021 saying, "hey, we got better"... despite the fact that you're still in the hole over the last 3 years.

The right won’t believe it anyway due to timing. And I can sorta understand that but what they aren’t considering is that it actually makes sense this could occur near an election. Republicans have spent months (on top of previous years) demonizing Pelosi and the democrats for the election so, yeah, it’s more likely to incite violence at those times. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fox is the No. 1 MSM in the land thanks to its popularity. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/News_media_in_the_United_States And Fox often is wrong. https://www.politifact.com/personalities/fox-news-channel/ Of course Fox has been wrong, but they were right more often than their counterparts. I find it rather amusing that suddenly you can't change the meaning of words, when the left has been so insistent to do so for so long. Almost as amusing as watching the MSM have to admit they lied about the validity of the laptop, or that Russian Collusion was a hoax. They constantly protect Democrats and attack Republicans. And I do not deny that Fox does it in reverse. But based on Fox being right more often I do tend to give their reporting a little more credibility, though I will still partake some of the liberal media. I just wish the liberal media held Democrats as accountable as they do Republicans. I have seen Fox rail against Republicans, you NEVER see the others doing that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fact check websites are nothing but tabloid information. I never said Fox was more wrong than the others. The definition of "mainstream" is being twisted here. The media entities RLLD listed didn't include Fox, and his definition of mainstream is popular sources that produce information with which he doesn't agree, such as CNN, MSNBC, WoPo, New York Times, ABC, NBC, CBS, etc., and cites some examples of when they supposedly were wrong in their reporting. Well, as you noted, Fox does get stuff wrong. Fox is the most mainstream of all mainstreams due to its position of being the No. 1 most popular information source in the land, and it's top show host, Tucker Carlson, is No. 1 in the land as well. By definition, Fox most certainly is mainstream. That's just a fact. Thanks for underscoring my point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BunnysBastatrds 1,886 Posted October 28, 2022 2 hours ago, RLLD said: I did. I still consider them the opposition to power. For years they were mostly a joke, I know I did not watch them. But then something happened, the Democrats lost their mind when Trump was elected, and the reporting from the MSM (the dominant entities in news at the time) went into a dark place. They shed any assemblance of impartiality and became the mouthpiece of the Democrat party. They enthusiastically went after Trump, as they should ANY president, but this was different. You had the Russian collusion hoax, which they have never apologized for. Over and over they were caught lying, promoting Democrat talking points, being vile racists in some cases. Turning to Fox was organic, they seemed to be the only outlet that was making sense. When the truth came out in the end on topics, they seemed to be correct time after time So now, the impropriety of MSM has elevated Fox news. Still not MSM, but once Republicans are back in power, I could see them becoming that. They lost their minds when they lost the house and senate during the Clinton years, and the impeachment of him.
