Fellow political enthusiasts.

I'm interested in your opinion of both Fox News Sunday as well as its host, Shannon Bream. 
I arguably watch much too much news and new shows including not less than 3 hours of Sunday news shows.
I hope I'm not wasting my time, All evidence to the contrary notwithstanding.  I'm interested in the opinions of my fellow political junkies.

Since you pinged me specifically...

I haven't watched television since M*A*S*H was in first runs. However, I poked around YouTube and found her recent interview with Lindsey Graham(crackers) and I wasn't impressed. She basically fed him questions and let him talk without ever challenging his falsehoods. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXQOeDHm16E

For Fox overall I consider them a wholly-owned propaganda arm of the Republican party and not a credible news source. I just dug out a FB post I made on July 31, which was right after the NABJ where Trump claimed that Harris "turned black". Here are the headlines I captured:

The Guardian: Trump repeats lies and attacks Kamala Harris's racial identity at panel of Black journalist
subhead: Chaotic event hosted by National Association of Black Journalists saw Trump lie about abortion and immigration

Washington Post: Trump questions Harris's Black identity. Harris says Americans "deserve better"
subhead: Donald Trump also berated a Black reporter who questioned him about his record of offensive comments about Black people.

NY Times: Trump Falsely Questions Harris's Identity as Black
(no subhead)

Fox News: Vance praises Trump after former president's heated Q&A, brands VP Harris a 'coward'
no subhead, but photo caption: 'SHOWED HE HAD COURAGE'

The Guardian gave the most accurate assessment of that interview, IMO. WaPo watered it down some, NYT watered it down a lot, Fox completely failed to report on the shitshow that was Trump's NABJ interview.

Media Bias Fact Check considers them a questionable source with an extreme right bias and a mixed record of factual accuracy: https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/fox-news-bias/

Watch them Larry. Shannon is good.

Compare this: Fox in general has a liberal on every panel they have. 
Harold Ford Jr.
Jessica Tarlov
Marie Harf
Juan Williams
Geraldo Rivera (although I haven't seen him lately)

Not sure any of the other main networks have any sort of mix at all? I haven't watched them enough.

Lol on Patti's comments.  Fact checking. Did you watch the last debate on ABC? Fact checking on *both* sides right?...

Fact checking obvious lies. There should more. Trump lied over 30 times. Harris about 4. 

BTW. MSNBC has plenty of conservatives, just no MAGAs.
