And so, what we have here from Fox News is a perfect example of “I’ve got mine” or “I’m going to appease the alligator, hoping he eats me last.”

On Friday’s Fox & Friends, Kurt Knutsson gushed over Microsoft’s NewsGuard blacklist as “fair” and a “good idea.”
Knutsson said:
This is a filter. So Microsoft has decided, in their latest mobile browser called Edge, that they’re going to make this as part of the browser that you can just simply see a badge. … What it does is it comes in red if it’s “unreliable,” and it comes in green if it’s “reliable” or trustworthy sources.
…
The [browser] add-on is from NewsGuard Tech and its former journalists … that run it. There are actually human beings behind it, and it’s actually a good idea. When I looked pretty closely at it, it’s pretty fair. They’re giving some criticism to the left, to the right–pretty right down the middle, and they’re calling it like it is.
Watch the full segment here at the 36-minute mark.
Knutsson’s only concern is if Silicon Valley, is if Facebook grabs control of NewsGuard, but as is, with establishment types running the blacklist, he thinks it’s pretty freakin’ awesome.
Well, of course, the backstabbers at Fox News love this blacklist. Why wouldn’t they? 1) Fox News is not blacklisted and 2) Fox News’s competition at Breitbart News and other right-leaning sites are blacklisted.
And so, what we have here from Fox News is a perfect example of “I’ve got mine” or “I’m going to appease the alligator, hoping he eats me last.”
Question…
What is Fox News going to do when Microsoft and NewsGuard add Fox News to this blacklist? more here
“I’m going to appease the alligator, hoping he eats me last.”
First, Die now ,,,
Phooey. It wouldn’t be from MSFT and wouldn’t be getting the attention if it weren’t more of the same old bullshit designed to stifle any but establishment stuff.
“I fart in your general direction.”
“I fart in your general direction.”
Bravo!
“…..former journalists … that run it.”
“There are actually human beings behind it,”
Don’t those 2 sentence fragments seem contradictory?
If they weren’t such scoundrels, they would make the badge colors red and blue — Republican bad, Demoncrat good.
Another nail in the Faux Propaganda coffin.
Hey Fox News: Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries.
GTFO
This is actually funny – unless you remember how many ignoramuses there are in this nation.
In any event, any news ‘filter’ is a tool for fascists. Right, Chi Comms?

Ask Terry Schappert if the above statement was made on FOX News Channel. Go on, dare ya. Just because the video has been pulled doesn’t mean it didn’t air or didn’t happen or doesn’t exist.
To hell with FOX. Finally taking of their Conservative mask.
Fox News isn’t Fox News anymore and their programming shows it.
When was the last time they broke a major story?
Why are people surprised at this? Fox News is, was, and always has been nothing but political opinion programming. It’s not news, and it’s definitely not conservative.
