Because Fox news isn't far right leaning. Just because you're a keyboard warrior and hand pick what you want to deem as "news" doesn't mean its accurate or worth a shit. Its the reason Donny got banned from everything. He was a big mouth and couldn't piece together any accurate information. If this country is so bad then piss the fuck off and leave. That's the beauty of it, you can come and go at your leisure. But you'll never be happy until your lord and savior The Orange Being returns to the helm.
You dolt. The same story was reported across most every news source , including FB where you obviously get yours. The story isnt right leaning, it’s Biden’s own words on video. What part don’t you understand?

I’m not a huge Trump fan and that story has nothing to do with Trump. Again, I recommend you seek professional help.

And I’m not going anywhere, sparky. Love to chat, come see me, I’m easy to find.

You must not be very good at reading between the lines. Or you just thing the Capitol riots were completely justified and the police being killed was entertaining. But I'm sure you're one of those big mouth back the blue people that wouldn't dare admit it in person but surely empower the hillbillies that were at the Capitol.

No police were killed sparky. Where do you get this shit? Do you not even read your own liberal “progressive” news sites?

You can be hard working and still an idiot. That proof can be found by reading through these batshit extremist posts from "credible" news sources.
To prove you're not an idiot, name your credible news sources.

Again what is/are your credible news sources. How much has your MSM had to retract because they were out right lies? Have you seeked medical treatment for your TDS?

Why read between the lines when the facts are clear? Doing so usually just leads to Again name your news sources, I bet they are all just biased opinion spouters that claim to be factual. TDS is contagious to those who cannot think for themselves. I believe you are a super spreader.

Back up your claims or STFU.

I've been off the Internet for a couple of days only to find a few pages of this thread polluted by a troll and many honest but otherwise wasted-time responses. For me, a misinformed or brainwashed person will make their bogus statements and move on, where the troll just keeps figuratively banging his head on the wall watching with joy as others bang their heads on the wall even harder. I've been sucked in by this too many times and probably would have been here, had I not been able to see the big picture before jumping into the trees.

The disrupter does raise one point that's been troubling me about some of the conservative-leaning news sites going the way of phony click-bait headlines and reports that are exaggerated to the point of becoming false. I'm afraid that zerohedge has gone onto my list of such sites, and I rarely believe what I read there without confirming it elsewhere. They are still a good source but the wheat has to be separated from the chaff. Everybody on this thread has been doing pretty good on that with the links that are posted.

Understand your point.
I will say that as an aggregator ZH publishes a lot of stories that are not their own. But they do a better job than most MSM of actually citing their information to a source. I find them highly accurate overall. Cant say I can recall I story I’ve bookmarked reposted that has turned out to be far off the Mark.

They do certainly provide opinion, mostly on economic issues and the markets, but then so does CNBC, Marketwatch, WSJ etc.

They weren’t particularly fond of Trump and would often publish pieces that weren’t complimentary.

I browse a lot of “news” sites each day, most add far too much opinion for my taste.

Disney tries to run away from the evidence of its racist push

(Opinion with verifiable citations and source documents)

The most blatantly racist item in Disney's employee training was a checklist that required them to tick off all the items showing that they possess "White (heterosexual, cis-gender) privilege." Because the checklist goes to the heart of Disney's laughable denial, here's the Rufo tweet with that checklist so you can see it for yourself:
Next, participants are asked to complete a “white privilege checklist”: “I am white,” I am heterosexual,” “I am a man,” “I still identity as the gender I was born in,” “I have never been raped,” “I don’t rely on public transportation,” and “I have never been called a terrorist.” pic.twitter.com/hcTVp9Tnz1

Disney tried to wriggle away from the inevitable backlash following those revelations by claiming that Rufo had misunderstood the documents. Rufo wasn't having any of that, and in a strongly-worded, fact-filled rebuttal, he emphasized that the documents are incapable of being misunderstood. They're just straight-up racist:

Disney has released a statement claiming that my reporting "distorted" their antiracism program. This is false. I published direct quotations, contextual screenshots, and the original source documents in their entirety.

Disney is distorting the truth—and I won't stand for it. pic.twitter.com/w7eEcKyduq
— Christopher F. Rufo ⚔ (@realchrisrufo) May 10, 2021

Disney claims to value "inclusivity," but the company has:
-Used slave and child labor in poor countries
-Filmed 'Mulan' near Uighur concentration camps
-Censored content for the CCP
-Shrinked a black actor in Chinese promotional materials

The Magic Kingdom is a house of lies.

I challenge Disney's executive team to walk the walk: they should complete the "white privilege" checklist they provided to employees and share the results publicly.

Otherwise, they're fake antiracists, using buzzwords to deflect attention from their moral transgressions. pic.twitter.com/WTw7VoJtTy

Disney's statement about my reporting is only two paragraphs, but contains eight falsehoods, misrepresentations, and evasions.

I've annotated them here. Do better, Disney. pic.twitter.com/RMJmQhclSs

I strongly encourage you to boycott Disney for as long as it thinks its mission, both within the corporation and through the products that it markets to young people, is to promote the fantasy of transgenderism, the lie that America is a systemically racist country, and the eugenic theory that Whites are inherently bad. And if you need a little more encouragement to boycott Disney, just think of all the young Disney stars in the past 20 years who have become complete nutcases because something is deeply wrong in the formerly wholesome, patriotic company that Walt created.[/QUOTE]

Our family stopped supporting Disney many, many years ago. There is Way too much deception from this company...
