Alternative opinions to reality and/or the truth?
They (you?) just can't abide the thought of having any contrary opinions.
Did you mean to say?:
They (you?) just can't abide the thought of having any contrary opinions that are not connected to reality and/or the truth.
Not unlike young Earth creationism being a contrary opinion in regards to evolution?

Video: Jon Stewart vs. Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday
This belongs in both the "Fox news = false news" and "The "Liberal" Media" topics. Maybe I'll do both, but I'll start here. Maybe someone else can post it at the other topic, and keep me from being a spammer.
Found at: Video: Jon Stewart vs. Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday - Little Green Footballs
I don't know how to embed the video here, so go there to see it. About 24 minutes, and IMO well worth watching.

I'm calling it a fake
As little as I think of Michele Bachmann and/or Fox news, I couldn't find any support for that being anything other than a satire fake.
Are you trying to say that was a real event? Then source of the photo, please.

Re: I'm calling it a fake
I guess the symbol in the upper-right indicates something is fishy.
Besides, I find it hard to believe that Fox news would be so ignorant to accept Benjamen Franklin as having been president (they would have been the ones putting the caption up), even if Michale Bachmann had said such a thing. Or do you think that Fox news would be out to make MB look stupid?
The comedy is in the fact that you cannot tell whether or not she actually said that.
I think this should have gone into the "Humor" topic. Fox news has plenty to call them on without hitting them with something that they didn't do.

Roger Ailes obit at "Rolling Stone"

Much more at cite.
He had sort of slipped under my radar, in my personal listing of "America's greatest assholes".

Re: Conservatives should (like the rest of us ) not trust the media.
A candidate for the Democratic Presidential Primary got 496,000 votes (out of around 9 million cast ) against Clinton in 1996, but was blacked out by the media.
In 1996, a political extremist promoting bizarre conspiracy theories ran for the Democratic party nomination. He did this every election - 1996 would be his fifth consecutive attempt (and not the last). Weirdly, this was not considered a major event by the press.
"A candidate for the Democratic Presidential Primary" gets his/her name blacked out by LamarkNewAge.

Report: Fox News Contributor Leaves Network He Calls ‘Propaganda Machine’
Report: Fox News Contributor Leaves Network He Calls ‘Propaganda Machine’ - TPM – Talking Points Memo
quote:
A Fox News contributor announced in a lengthy and scathing email to colleagues that he had not renewed his contract with the network, which he called a propaganda machine for a destructive and ethically ruinous administration, BuzzFeed News reported Tuesday.
Retired Lt. Col. Ralph Peters wrote in the email, which BuzzFeed obtained and published, that he felt Fox News is assaulting our constitutional order and the rule of law, while fostering corrosive and unjustified paranoia among viewers.
More there.
Moose
Added by edit: I restored the Buzzfeed link to where it belongs in the above quote. Go there to read entire e-mail content.
Edited by Minnemooseus, : Put Buzzfeed link in where it belonged.
