Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for December 07, 2021

Nutters get ratings.

They’re nutters like a Fox.

They should be in a cage with a sign that reads, “Do not feed the nutters.”

Since when is a newscaster not a nutter?

I miss Walter Cronkite, once the most trusted man in America.

lies, damn lies and cable news…

I have, once or twice, paused on Fox Spews for a few seconds. Even the ads were incredible BS.

PS: I have also tried to listen to a “liberal” radio show. I WANTED to like it, but the truth is that it was shrill and uninformative.

Yup. That cable “news” channel is still guano loco.

Is Stephan writing about CNN or MSNBC? With the arrival of John Malone at CNN and the departure of Chris Cuomo, there’s hope that the nutters will be balanced by moderates. Is there any hope for MSNBC? Probably not.

There are fewer and fewer of them. They keep getting fired for “human resources reasons.”

Fox News?

But a lot of people don’t seem to want open minds.

(Sigh…) It always happens- every time this kind of discussion comes up, there are the detractors who keep on thinking it is FOX that is the freak show. Let’s review:

CNN, ABC, MSNBC, WP, other left-leaning media:

1) Russian collusion in 2016- got it wrong

2) Steele dossier- got it wrong

3) Hunter Biden laptop- got it wrong

4) Nick Sandmann- got it dead wrong

5) Jussie Smollett- got it wrong

6) Kyle Rittenhouse- got it wrong, NO racism involved

7) Darrell E. Brooks and Waukesha- silent on Brook’s racism

I could go on…

As opposed to FOX news reporting the truth. And have the leftist media ever apologised? No. Have they ever taken responsibility for misleading the public? Hardly! Don’t hold your breath.

I grew up on Chet Huntley and David Brinkley, and Walter Cronkite. How far we are from the news reporter that doesn’t editorialize.

You don’t have to be a terrible liar to work at FAUX, but it sure helps. (4-way entendre.)

How do #neoBolsheviks feel about peaceful democracy in a republic?

The #fake_GOP is against it.

A failed practice insurrection “led” by cowards and losers is still an #insurrection.

If that’s a paid channel then the joke’s on you, Rat.

If it’s Fox News, gotta agree with Rat.

Rat to confirm there are still nutters just look in a mirror, thus you save electricity ;-)

i would watch news but it’s all opinion and shouting

Fox News: an oxymoron.

Yes CNN is awful and full of nutters. That is why it is Called Commie Nutter Nonsense.

OR was it all the nutters at MSNBC – Morons spouting Nutters BS continuously.

Nutter Butter Cookies

I can’t believe that Rat hasn’t got a flat screen yet.

I can’t watch the news anymore. I prefer to read the news! What I read on the news sites is the same old news at 6 and 11. Sensationalism has gripped this country! Scare tactics, warnings, alerts, breaking news! They can shove it!

Is Rat watching CNN or MSNBC? They’re nutters for sure!

Where’s Les Nessman when you need him?

The Right: Rat must be watching CNN.

The Left: Rat must be watching Fox News.

No news is good news.

I hear that “news channel” lost over 50% of its audience when Trump left office. That’s what happens when you put all your news in one basket.

Rat must be watching CNN or MSNBC

They’re ALL nutters – Fox, CNN, MSNBC. None simply report the news anymore, it’s all slanted.

George Orwell was right,ahead of his time.

No, Rat is right: They’re just nutters.

Some of these loons still claim that Donnie Loser actually won.

A news station that doesn’t curate current events to fit their social and political beliefs? No such thing exists.

Destroy the TV

Pretty much any station…

I miss George Putnam.

It is too bad that one can only get a variety of opinions by watching different news feeds. There was a time when you could get news rather than opinions, but that is gone.

Dan Rather,Walter Winchell, smokey stover also full of it

truth by Jeff beck mo bettah

I sometimes watch local news if I know something big, like a fire, is happening. Otherwise I prefer to read my morning Chronicle. I can read the articles that interest me and ignore the rest.

“NEWS” Channel?!? Rat found an actual NEWS Channel?? Where? What’s it called? All I have in my 100s of channel choices are Commentary and Spin and Party propaganda channels…

Yup! Nutters all the way down.

I agree but what are you comparing them to?..……

Amen

Honesty, integrity, journalism. Together is an oxymoron.

If they’re on TV, they’re nutters.

This is why I don’t watch the news. Everything is “nutters”, at Rat puts it.

If it’s Fox News they should be de-nutters.

Yup!

Yes, he was! RIP Mr Cronkite.

Howard K. Smith fed it to us straight.

He gives them a chance to change every day. That is open-minded.

Gadzooks! An open mind can be filled with many things … like facts.

One of the best cartoons ever was Arlo & Janice where the teenage son was watching TV. The father came up behind, watched for a while, then asked “Which one is Beavis and which one is Butthead?” “This is ‘Crossfire.’”

Do you think Pastis writes this stuff and then says to himself “ Yup, that should get em’ going.”

Fux Spews, Fux Spews or Fux Spews…..

Fill in the name of your unfavorite news channel….

Did it ever occur to you, Rat, that watching such TV is a form of self-abuse?

Be glad he’s at least entertaining other viewpoints, Goat. The journey of a thousand miles, yada yada.

I remember when Cronkite was visibly emotional announcing JFK’s death……
