FedEx does a better job moving packages then usps by far...

Depends. When it comes to rural areas, Fedex, UPS and other shippers often dump their stuff off to USPS. I've used all three and for money, I'll take USPS in most cases. Additionally, as Trump pointed out, USPS basically subsidizes Amazon.

FOX News vs. MSNBC Using 52,000 Transcripts, 283 Million Words

Researchers analyzed about 52,000 Fox News and MSNBC transcripts comprising some 283 million words to explore language style and social psychology to compare the 2020, 2016, and 2012 presidential elections.

"The audiences of each of the networks is highly partisan: about 93 percent of those who identify Fox News as their main news source identify or lean Republican,"
"The demographic profile of Americans who name Fox News as their main news source is similar to the profile of Republicans, and for good reason. Two-thirds of core Fox News viewers identify themselves as Republican, and 94% either identify as or lean Republican."

TV Is Americans' Main Source of News

Television is the main place Americans say they turn to for news about current events (55%), leading the Internet, at 21%. Nine percent say newspapers or other print publications are their main news source, followed by radio, at 6%.

And what does the fact that Fox News viewers are conservatives have to do with the 2 issues brought up? You may as well have said fire is hot. 1) You jumped to the conclusion that a conservative must be a Fox News viewer. Fox only pulls 3.1m viewers per weeknight. 2) What does the fact that Fox News viewers lean right have to do with the fact that ~1/3 of conservatives don't think Fox News is trustworthy.

No, you made that claim and I proved that you could not.

As usual, you think your claims or statements are proof.
They aren't.

I don't know why you think I don't work or that you know anything about where I live.

Unless you were lying, you posted the info here.
Were you lying?

94% of Fox viewers are right wing.
Are you suggesting they watch it, but don't trust or believe what they are watching?

Thx said Fox is 100% reliable. A $757 million lawsuit loss says they are not.
And they are generally known as the least honest of the major news outlets.

You should go back and read some of Thx's posts. Or maybe some of the crap Trump puts out on that sham chat site he has.
Now THAT is some cultist garbage.

I'll take that as an admission.

I read that as "Yes, I'm in a cult, but the other cult is worse.

Yes, Trump may have some cult-like followers, but they're still more rooted in reality compared to the lunatics on the left, but that's because reality has a right-wing biased. Liberals are just bat-shit crazy who can't even define what a woman is.

Pew Research said ~1/3rd of conservatives/conservative leaning people don't think Fox is trustworthy. Again I know that doesn't fit the left wing narrative that the political right is just sitting around waiting to get their misinformation and marching orders from Fox News. I'm not sure why this is so hard to comprehend. As far as I can tell it is "generally known" that all the major news outlets regularly lie, present the news in a very biased manner and are generally not trustworthy. If it makes you feel better about the world to say Fox is generally "known" to the least honest of the dishonest major news outlets, then feel free to die on that hill.

This...there's not a "news" organization on TV that provides better information than the commercials they run

I'm rural and the mail routes I used to run were even ruraler more packages get lost after the FedEx or ups handoff than before. I remember the post master saying usps loses money on amazon deliveries because of the price break they got (this was 5 years ago)

So you read something, and then create your own meanings from it?
Must be a right-wing thing.

So you're another right-winger obsessed with transgender, while pretending to hate transgender.
What's the obsession? How does someone's ****** identity affect your life in any way?

Are you similarly obsessed and upset with people who pray to the big magnet in the sky, and want laws created that will make the magnet happy?
Or, is that "normal" in your eyes?

94% of the Fox viewership is right-wing.
Are you saying 1/3 of their viewership doesn't trust them?

Did you catch the part of the survey that says the majority of the right gets its news from TV, but the majority of the left gets its news from print?

"Die on that hill".
Of all networks, Fox is trusted just a bit more than the National Enquirer.

Said because I know your liberal *** takes everything literal and that this statement would trigger you. Stop being so ******* stupid Rob.

You truly are horrible in discussing political matters. You just project, deflect, and throw out fallacies after fallacies.

I'm amazed how these other guys waste so much time on you. I'll just leave you to be willfully wrong and ignorant.
