I've been debating as to the best thread in which to post this. Since the "politics" thread has devolved into the "Braineack bashes all media except FOX" thread, this seems appropriate.

As a TV news guy, I'm a little bit shocked that this whole bit made it to air, but as a TV news guy, I'm also aware that the majority of network-affiliated stations don't actually have a TD sitting in a chair in front of a switcher anymore. The newscast is largely automated, based on a pre-prepared rundown, so there literally isn't a button to push to break-away anymore.

Anyway, here's Ivory Hecker who, until yesterday afternoon, was an assignment reporter at KRIV, the Fox affiliate in Houston, TX:



So... yeah.

and for the record, I haven't watched FoxNews in at least 3 years. I get all my actual news from terrorist alt-right white nationalists online.

That's one of my very few "hard no" turnoffs.

Not the first thing I noticed, but it's something which, once seen, cannot be un-seen.

Fingernail extensions / French manicure / all related things are right up there with facial tattoos for me. I realize that not everyone may agree here, just being honest.

That salad dressing looks a little odd. Also, it needs to be tossed.

Look at it this way gents, Joe just took himself out of the running so there's one less guy vying for her attentions.

But you wont elaborate.

But wait, I thought they were BLM.

Then they were ANTIFA!

Then they were "tourists"

And now aren't they all FBI plants?

Or do we need your boy Tucker to explain to us who they are this week.

it doesn't matter who they are. Treason is a very specific charge that none of them committed in even your wildest wet dream. Sedition would be the more appropriate charge, even that is a stretch from that mostly peaceful protest.

The fact that they are being held without bail is wrong. Watching you cheer the disgusting erosion of our rights because you dislike who is being stomped on makes you look alot like a fascist.

What erosion of rights? The ones you make up because you feel like they should be rights? The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that the Constitution permits holding a defendant without bail pending a criminal trial. No absolute right to bail exists.

Mostly peaceful, LMFAO. People died. Traitors Seditious morons stormed the Capitol to prevent the transfer of power, people died, and yall play it off like it was just a big whoopsie daisy!

I'd love to know what your reaction would have been if Trump won and ANTIFA! stormed the capitol in the same fashion.

You are making a whole lot of assumptions right there. We generally don't charge or arrest people for assumptions. Also bail isn't the rights being violated, the first amendment right to protest and petition the Government would be the rights trampled.

People died in the BLM terrorist riots, several of those riots attempted to create their own country, sedition achieved. Why isn't the fbi holding them without bail?

I see you. When black people riot and destroy things, they're terrorists.

When Trump fanatics do the same to the U.S. Capitol, they're just exercising their first amendment rights.
