If Fox was gone tomorrow the Right would find someone or something else to follow. Conservatives are of two types, one type are conservatives because if furthers personal goals, like racist and business owners and many others. They vote for personal gain. The vast majority of the right are simply told what to think by the right wing noise machine and vote because they are told what to think. Rush was right when he denounced his followers being called ditto heads.
Brain dead whiny liberal liar thinks we elect Presidents by popular vote. More evidence of what a massive failure our liberal educational establishment has been.
Oh, I'm well aware of the Electoral College. Trump won that, but he wasn't the most popular candidate, which means his policies and the policies the GOP support also aren't the popular policies. So you can cling to your technical win, just like you did with Bush the Dumber 18 years ago. And just like Bush the Dumber, this isn't going to end well for Conservatives. In fact, I fully expect you to try and re-brand again just like you did when you re-branded to teabags because you couldn't bear the responsibility of supporting Bush the Dumber for 8 years.
1. GDP growth for Q1 2018 was 2.3%. GDP growth for Q4 2017 was 2.9%. So is 2.3% > or < 2.9%?
2. The stock market on January 2nd, 2018 was 24,824.01, the stock market close on May 10th, 2018 was 24,772.42. So is 24,824.01 > or < 24,772.42?
3. Health insurance premiums will rise as much as 50% thanks to the Trump/Russia Tax Cut.
4. Oil prices have shot upward, particularly after news of Trump violating the Iran deal.
5. The Russia/Trump Tax Cut has caused deficits to go back to $1T.
NEXT!
Which is less of a % of growth than Obama had over the same period. And a small nitpick, but that was the DOW the day Trump was inaugurated, not elected:
Trump inaugurated, 1/20/17: 19,827.25
Current DOW, 5/10/18: 24,796.58
+25%
Obama inaugurated, 1/20/09: 7,949.09
DOW as of 5/10/10: 10,785.14
+36%
Is 25% > or < 36%?
Depends on when in his presidency you're looking.
Wasn't KXL supposed to reduce oil prices? What happened there?

I remember a country that was pre fox news
it was becoming more liberal everyday
the republicans were amping up their election cheating and kept getting caught
they saw the writing on the wall
the people were rejecting them because the facts proved they were evil
they needed to find away to keep the facts from the people to retain votes
so they killed the fairness doctrine and created fox news
then mire and more people were not getting the facts
the right started growing again.
FOX NEWS MUST DIE

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FCC_fairness_doctrine
The fairness doctrine of the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC), introduced in 1949, was a policy that required the holders of broadcast licenses both to present controversial issues of public importance and to do so in a manner that was—in the FCC's view—honest, equitable, and balanced. The FCC eliminated the policy in 1987 and removed the rule that implemented the policy from the Federal Register in August 2011.[1]
The fairness doctrine had two basic elements: It required broadcasters to devote some of their airtime to discussing controversial matters of public interest, and to air contrasting views regarding those matters. Stations were given wide latitude as to how to provide contrasting views: It could be done through news segments, public affairs shows, or editorials. The doctrine did not require equal time for opposing views but required that contrasting viewpoints be presented. The demise of this FCC rule has been considered by some to be a contributing factor for the rising level of party polarization in the United States.[2][3]
The main agenda for the doctrine was to ensure that viewers were exposed to a diversity of viewpoints. In 1969 the United States Supreme Court upheld the FCC's general right to enforce the fairness doctrine where channels were limited. But the courts did not rule that the FCC was obliged to do so.[4] The courts reasoned that the scarcity of the broadcast spectrum, which limited the opportunity for access to the airwaves, created a need for the doctrine.
The fairness doctrine is not the same as the equal-time rule. The fairness doctrine deals with discussion of controversial issues, while the equal-time rule deals only with political candidates.

Deficits are not debt. And we only had ~$10T in debt because of your shitty Tax Cuts, your shitty Wars of Occupation, and your shitty economic collapse thanks to your shitty deregulation of the mortgage industry.
Obama inherited a $1.4T deficit from Bush and brought it down to $500B in his final year. Now the deficit is back to $1T, thanks entirely, 100% to your shitty tax cuts.
And this is without even mentioning the fact that Bush the Dumber was handed record surpluses that could have paid the debt off by 2010, but y'all doubled the debt instead.
BTW - when Bush the Dumber was doubling the debt, you were completely silent. How come?
I am 58 and I too remember the times before Fox. I agree with you about all the above, but I am very reluctant to restrict any school of thought and/or news outlet. One of the most disturbing things Trump talks about is removing news credentials from networks he disagrees with. No, I don't think we should do away with Fox or in any way restrict their ability to air their twisted version of reality. But it is our duty to point out untruths (lies) where ever we find them, and hope in the long run, America is still good.
So in other words, Trump won. STFU you dumbass.
Yes, and it was still .8 to 1.4% higher than during Obama. Were you born stupid? Or you work hard at being stupid?
Trump was inaugurated on January 20th, 2017. Therefore, the DOW has indeed climbed by 4,969 since his election. Thus it has not gone down unless you're a dishonest leftist dumbfuck on steroids; is that you?
This is just a moronic lie intended for gullible brain dead low information lying leftists like you. It worked!
Oil prices go up and they go down. They were above $4 a gallon during Obama's Presidency. Trying to pretend that they are tied to Trump is an idiots game; which is why you are playing it. You're and idiot.
Obama created $10 trillion in deficit spending. Brain dead whiny lying leftists like you cheered. Trump has been in office 14 months and idiots like you now whine about $1 trillion? STFU.
Tax cuts don't cause deficits; Government spending more than it takes in causes them. Tax cuts don't cause reductions in revenue. We do not have a REVENUE problem in this country, we have a SPENDING problem which, the Republican congress and this President will address in due time assuming the rest of America isn't as brain dead and clueless as you apparently are and elect Democrats to take over in the fall.
Now run along; life is too short for your special brand of stupid.
He did bring down the costs if you qualified for a subsidy. There's a very famous example of Julie Boonstra. You know who she is, right? Let me refresh your memory; Boonstra was the fat, ugly, diseased GOP sow who went on camera and claimed that Obamacare caused her health care to be unaffordable. However, it turns out that Boonstra was lying (of course, Conservatives always lie) and her insurance company confirmed that she would in fact be saving $2,400 a year thanks to Obamacare.
And you can keep your doctor -you just need to choose an insurance plan on the exchange that your doctor accepts. It's called "being an adult".
Why else would you be screeching about Affirmative Action if you didn't think someone got a job you thought you were entitled to get?

I am happy to whup your ass all across these boards when it comes to economics. It'd be like the Boston Red Sox playing a t-ball team.
Bring it on.
Isn't that like a whiny lying liberal. First you make the moronic claim that the DOW has gone down because of Trump. Then when you are proven to be a lying idiot, jump to the next moronic claim. I call this the Liberal circle of stupidity. Where a liberal erupts with a moronic claim, then when proven to be moronic, jumps to a new moronic claim only to end up back at the original moronic claim.
Very true. Conservatives have daddy issues so they always end up doing what authoritarian people tell them.

they could not do what they do if we still had the fairness doctrine
Its why the republicans had to kill the fairness doctrine first
ailes and Nixon planned for a fox type news
I'm sorry, but do you have some sort of issue with reality and markets? Gas prices shot up here in California; the Democrats added .15 a gallon tax. Does that help or hurt the poor?
I am amused that you think oil prices don't move up and down every year. This is almost as moronic as when another mindless idiot claimed Trump was destroying the economy when the DOW dropped by 5000 points.
