I have to admit, that toe sucker guy looks exactly like the kind of guy who'd suck toes. I can't explain it.


abagofdicks

His face is like “yeah, look at me”

We have an image ability to sense the type of person who would suck our toes against our will at night in a hotel room. Evolutionarily beneficial


faithplusone01

doesn't look a thing like Paul Scholes to me

Fox 17 feels like I’m always watching a low budget public access channel. CODE RED: it might sprinkle.


Beautiful-Drawer

CODE RED! There may be a cloud later, or possibly light from a star! Get to your shelters now! No joke, they are ridiculous with the code red bs. And the forecast via their app changes drastically every 30 minutes.

That’s Sinclair for ya.

Holy shit, a Dolly Parton *rock* album?


BlondieBabe436

It sounds awesome, apparently she collaborated with a lot of people like Steve Tyler and Paul and Ringo of the Beatles and other legends, plus created new songs with a more Rock n Roll sound than her normal Country genre. Comes out in November and I am soo looking forward to it!


Ok_Character7958

Because she was inducted into the Rock’N’Roll hall of fame. Said she needed to do something to deserve it.


AnalogWalrus

To quote Stereogum's news post about it: "Dolly Parton's rock album 'ROCKSTAR' has dozens of legendary rockers and also Kid Rock"

Well now Morgan can't yell any slurs for 6 weeks so that is a big win for the city.

Interesting. I assumed that was just how he warmed up.

We have to start relentlessly mocking these people.


lecorbusianus

That requires them to have the capacity for shame, which *gestures broadly*

Yeah I know.

Dude...you might be onto something here. Are you saying that news is biased? Crazy.

I took one back in the day too. It was crazy how “by the book” everything had to be. Not ethically, just in a “that’s how it’s always been done” kind of way.

Fair enough, I chose not to work in news once I graduated so I couldn’t tell you who works at those stations

Redditor discovers media bias!


[deleted]

It manifestly would not matter if they did run it since the GOP has convinced themselves it's a set up. It would be framed as a deep state sabotage.


0Bubs0

Oh please... The DNC wants trump to win the nomination. Moderates hate him and he motivates the dem base to come out and vote against him.


Ok_Character7958

What does that have to do with anything?


0Bubs0

The implication of the post. That conservative media protects trump man while the righteous liberal news outlets speak truth to power. I'm replying that contrary to OPs opinion I feel it is actually the liberal media and politicians who benefit more from trumpism than the conservative media. Precisely for the reasons I stated. Clicks, ad revenue and trump is a clown as a candidate and sucks, so the dems would love to run against him again.


filmfotografie

I stated no opinion other than it was interesting. I said nothing about why there is such a difference in the stations. I believe you created a narrative in your own mind about what the post was about because you can't point to a single thing in the post that says what you seem to think it says. I am not saying there is anything wrong with you creating your own narrative, several other people who seem to be on the opposite side of the political spectrum from you have done the same thing. I do wish you wouldn't try to put words in my mouth though.


0Bubs0

Yes yes such a clever use of innuendo. Your message was pretty clear, not sure why you are insulted. Nothing wrong with your opinion.


filmfotografie

I am not insulted and I said that there was nothing wrong with you creating your own narrative about my post. But it is a bit odd to promote your opinion as fact, especially about what someone who you don't even know said. My message wasn't clear because there was no message, but this shows so well why we are divided. We all think we know what the other side is thinking yet we never actually ask them what they are thinking. People are blinded by their isolation in America and this is compounded by their belief that they aren't isolated. We all need to reduce the amount of assuming we do and increase the amount of conversations we have with people we don't agree with. I have lost friends because I am willing to talk to people they disagree with and really listen to what they say, but I think this is something everyone needs to do but that almost no one is willing to do.


0Bubs0

Oh come on, when you put an ellipses at the end of a statement about how something is "interesting" that indicates to the reader there is an omitted sentiment you are asking us to interpret or understand. Since you intentionally didn't state what that was, I the reader am left to assume you want me to figure it out. So now I guess please solve the riddle that I failed to solve. Why did you find it interesting that one of five local news channels didn't have a front page article about the trump news?


filmfotografie

Not because Fox 17 was right or wrong to not feature the story but because it shows the division in our country, that's why I found it interesting. It was an obvious, visual, and easily understood example of what our country is going through right now. It was compounded by the fact that Morgan Wallen was the top story on 17, someone who is disliked by the left and more likely to be embraced by those on the right. The differences between what the stations featured on their websites perfectly encompassed America today. And yes, I do want you to think about what this represents and to make decisions about what it represents, but instead you thought about what I thought it meant and even in this discussion you don't seem willing to let me tell you what I thought it meant if it disagrees with your pre-conceived notions. But again, this is the norm in America today, we think we all have the mystical ability to know what is going on inside the heads of people we know nothing about. I invite you to say "I think the OP is trying to say this or that" but you made a declarative statement about what I was thinking as if it was a fact when it actually wasn't factual at all. This is the problem.


Ok_Character7958

Your mind inserted a whole lot of personal bias in that. It was simply a “6 news channels led with x news. 1 news channel didn’t cover breaking national news at all, as they consistently do”


0Bubs0

>“6 news channels led with x news. 1 news channel didn’t cover breaking national news at all, as they consistently do” The ellipses indicates there was an unspoken omitted point the author was making. I filled it in using context clues and the words they wrote. Just like you filled it in with your own words above. Which is exactly what OP intended when they wrote the post lol.


Ok_Character7958

You can remove “Trump” and replace it with a number of things and it would still be true though. It’s been pointed out by many people at various times. Remove the word “Trump” from the statement and your reply makes no sense. Because your reply is not about how Fox reports on stuff and about “liberal wet dreams” about Trump. You also generalized a whole bunch of people on your personal bs. I’m liberal and don’t give a tiny little shit Trump is running. I live in deep red GOP country and none of the Deep Red “Democrats are the devil” voters I know give a shit Trump is running either.


ChrisTosi

Republicans seem to be the ones who want Trump? They seem to keep voting for him?


Beautiful-Drawer

As a moderate Republican, no, we don't. Some of us have morals, civic integrity, and common sense.


ChrisTosi

What are you doing about it? Do you continue to vote for Republicans pandering to Trump's base?


imwithstoopad

Haven't seen many of your kind around the last 15 or so years though, not entirely convinced you still exist


Nefilim314

Damn I needed a good laugh.


Careless-Employ-6872

This is hilarious to me since Trump is the only President to EVER do what he said he would do during his presidency


0Bubs0

The trump biden election simply proved people will vote their party line no matter how terrible the candidates. There are still millions of moderates who would vote for either party depending on candidate and views. It's just the extreme left and the extreme right that tend to be more active politically and louder, so people forget 30-40% of voters are still moderates. Having a crazy ass guy as your opposition is helpful for winning elections. I'm begging you, liberal media and Democrat voters, on behalf of moderates everywhere, Please for the love of God stop plastering that dumb asses face all over TV every single chance you get. I know your ad revenue will suffer. But really, we will all be better off I promise.


MackTheKnife247

That's why I only watch channel 17. Why do you think all the other organizations are showing the same story?


Superman_Dam_Fool

Well… it is pretty big news given that the defendant is a former President. Why do you think Fox17 is not reporting the story.


[deleted]

Because they don’t cater to fascists? Edit: fascism is inherently right wing, no need to say “right wing fascists”


Bad_Karma19

Not really.


voodoocharlie

Dude that’s all media outlets. Especially when it comes to race bating. It’s all about whatever narrative someone wants to push.


MacAttacknChz

This attitude is how you end up like Mike Lindell.

Sure pal

You were expecting them to say unkind or true things about their supreme leader?

What to know about the Georgia probe into Trump’s 2020 election subversion Marshall Cohen Some GOP voters in this key election state aren't backing Trump. Hear why 05:16 Former Georgia Republican Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan Ex-Georgia Lt. governor's subpoena indicates 4th Trump indictment coming soon 01:31 Former president and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump looks on as he attends the ALGOP Summer Meeting in Montgomery, Alabama, on August 4. Haberman on Trump's 'shield' against indictments 01:16 ​ — Former President Donald Trump is facing a potential fourth indictment, this time in Georgia, where state prosecutors may soon bring charges over his attempts to overturn the 2020 election results there. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, a Democrat, launched the probe in early 2021 and has investigated Trump’s attempts to pressure Georgia officials into interfering with the vote tally, the “fake electors” scheme to subvert the Electoral College and other efforts to undo the will of the voters. Here’s what to know about the investigation. What is being investigated? Candidate Joe Biden beat Trump in Georgia by 11,779 votes, or about 0.23% of nearly 5 million ballots cast. Biden’s razor-thin victory was confirmed by two recounts and certified by Gov. Brian Kemp and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, both Republicans. Instead of conceding, Trump launched a multi-pronged effort to overturn the results, including a pressure campaign targeting key state officials. Trump wanted them to abuse their powers to “find” enough votes to flip the results, or to block Biden’s victory from being certified. They refused. “So look. All I want to do is this. I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have. Because we won the state,” Trump said in a phone call to Raffensperger on January 2, 2021. When these efforts failed, Trump urged Georgia lawmakers to convene a special session of the GOP-run legislature so they could overturn Biden’s victory. At the same time, Trump tried to weaponize the Justice Department to help him intervene in Georgia and elsewhere. He tried to cajole top Justice Department officials and federal prosecutors in Atlanta into falsely announcing that the election was “corrupt” and that Biden’s win was tainted by massive fraud. There were also efforts by Trump supporters to breach a voting system in Georgia, in hopes of proving that the election was rigged. Some Trump supporters also allegedly tried to intimidate a Fulton County election worker into falsely admitting she was part of a massive anti-Trump fraud scheme in 2020. Who might be indicted? Trump is obviously at the center of the probe. The foreperson of the special grand jury that previously heard evidence in the case suggested in a series of interviews that the panel recommended charges against Trump, and that there was a long list of potential co-defendants. CNN recently reported that Willis is expected to seek more than a dozen indictments. Prosecutors have notified some key players that they are targets of the investigation. This includes Giuliani, who was an unindicted co-conspirator in Trump’s federal indictment on 2020-related charges. The 16 Republican activists who served as fake electors, including the chair of the Georgia Republican Party, also got target letters, though some decided to cooperate with prosecutors. Which crimes might be charged? Earlier in the investigation, Willis said her team was investigating a wide array of potential crimes. This included solicitation of election fraud, making false statements to state and local government bodies, conspiracy, racketeering, violation of an oath-of-office, and involvement in election-related threats. What is the process? Willis’ team is expected to spend one or two days presenting their case before the grand jury. To secure an indictment in the Trump investigation, 16 of the 23 voting grand jury members would need to be present. Once that quorum is established, 12 votes would be needed to hand up an indictment. CNN has previously reported that some key witnesses were recently subpoenaed to appear, presumably as part of Willis’ upcoming presentation. This includes former Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan, a Republican who is now a CNN political contributor, and former state Sen. Jen Jordan, a Democrat. Duncan told CNN’s Fredricka Whitfield on Saturday that he had received a notice to testify in front of the grand jury Tuesday. Shortly after, independent journalist George Chidi, who had also been subpoenaed, shared on social media that he had also received a similar notice. When a grand jury approves an indictment, a prosecutor and court officials typically walk the paperwork to the courtroom of the presiding Superior Court judge. That group then usually presents the stack of papers to the presiding judge, who reviews and signs them, and hands back the signed papers. The group then walks the signed indictments to the clerk’s office, where case numbers are assigned. Who is DA Fani Willis? Willis was elected Fulton County district attorney in November 2020 after defeating her former boss, a six-term incumbent, in the Democratic primary earlier that year. She was sworn in on January 1, 2021, just one day before Trump’s infamous call with Raffensperger. She is the first woman to hold the post in Fulton County, which is home to most of Atlanta, and includes some of the nearby suburbs. (Biden won approximately 73% of the vote in Fulton County in 2020.) She is up for reelection next year, so she might be leading an historic trial while also campaigning for votes. Trump has hammered Willis throughout the process, accusing her of partisan bias and claiming she is only pursuing the probe to fuel her future political ambitions. His critiques are largely unsupported, Jones – who was one of the fake electors in Georgia – successfully sought a court order blocking Willis from further investigating him. Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney, who issued the order, said it was a “‘what are you thinking moment” for Willis and that “the optics are horrific.” But McBurney, who presided over the special grand jury and related matters, has also praised Willis’ handling of the investigation. In a recent ruling in a related case, he contrasted her professional conduct with the “stream of personal invective flowing from” Trump and his lawyers. “Put differently, the District Attorney’s Office has been doing a fairly routine – and legally unobjectionable – job of public relations in a case that is anything but routine,” McBurney wrote. What about the federal case? The federal election-subversion charges against Trump overlap with the Georgia probe in a big way, but the investigations are separate. If Trump is charged in Georgia, some procedural and logistical challenges may arise, such as deconflicting the schedule of the state case with the federal case. But the Georgia case – a state-level prosecution –still move forward.
