Losing Friends

Looks like the orange menace is losing friends by the truckload lately....

Fox News Stars Push Back as Trump Demands Loyalty: We Don’t ‘Work for You’

Several Fox News personalities pushed back Wednesday against President Donald Trump after he escalated his public attacks on the right-leaning outlet for its occasional anti-Trump voices.

In the middle of a typically chaotic tweetstorm spurred on by his morning TV viewing habits, the president took aim at Fox News anchor Sandra Smith for having the audacity to bring on the Democratic National Committee’s communications director Xochitl Hinojosa to discuss the upcoming Democratic primary debate.

“Just watched @FoxNews heavily promoting the Democrats through their DNC Communications Director, spewing out whatever she wanted with zero pushback by anchor, @SandraSmithFox,” Trump tweeted on Wednesday. “Terrible considering that Fox couldn’t even land a debate, the Dems give them NOTHING! @CNN & @MSNBC are all in for the Open Border Socialists (or beyond).”

Besides blasting the America’s Newsroom co-anchor, Trump went after a few other Fox News stars who he has recently singled out for not carrying his water on-air.

“Fox hires ‘give Hillary the questions’ @donnabrazile, Juan Williams and low ratings Shep Smith. HOPELESS & CLUELESS! They should go all the way LEFT and I will still find a way to Win - That’s what I do, Win,” he wrote. “Too Bad!”

The president concluded his online tantrum by complaining that Fox News was “letting millions of GREAT people down” and that he needs to “start looking for a new News Outlet” since the one-time “Fair & Balanced” channel “isn’t working for us anymore!”

Almost immediately after the president’s tweets, Fox News senior political analyst and former news anchor Brit Hume sounded off: “Fox News isn’t supposed to work for you,” he wrote.

Hume wasn’t the only conservative Fox star to fire back at the president. Fox News contributor and radio host Guy Benson essentially repeated Hume’s remarks: “We don’t work for you,” he stated.

Furthermore, Benson also said that Trump was “working the refs,” agreeing with Axios’ Sara Fischer that Trump was playing to a “fringe culture” of rabid supporters whom the president hopes would help push Fox News to intensify its already largely pro-Trump coverage.

MediaBuzz host Howard Kurtz, a former Daily Beast columnist, also took a mild swing at the president’s criticism, writing, “our job is to cover both sides.”

In recent months, Trump has made it a habit to regularly scorn Fox and make it appear that the network is not sufficiently loyal to him, his administration, or his followers.

Most of these attacks have centered on the so-called “straight news” division or Fox’s liberal commentators. Brazile, for example, has been a favorite target lately.

While Trump’s recent attacks haven’t been addressed publicly by network brass, many of the news-centric figures have publicly rebuked the president. For instance, earlier this month when Trump trashed Fox’s polling, telling reporters that “Fox has changed” and he’s “not happy with it,” Special Report anchor Bret Baier said on-air, “Fox has not changed. We have a news side and an opinion side. Opinion folks express their opinions. We do polls.”

This all appears to be part of the president’s ongoing insecurities about the network’s loyalty and subservience to him. This past spring, following Fox News’ highly rated town hall with Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders, The Daily Beast reported that Trump began telling aides to “keep an eye” on Fox, expressing concerns that the network would provide even the remotest positive coverage of Democrats.

And then last month, The Daily Beast reported, Trump began grilling his closest loyalists and confidants at the network—including primetime star Sean Hannity—asking them all the same question: “What the hell is going on at Fox?"

In the end, while Trump sweats Fox’s “straight news” programming and publicly courts other alternatives, those inside Fox News actually feel the president’s repeated attacks are extremely helpful, as it allows them to rebut widespread criticism that the network often acts as “state media,” especially in light of a constantly revolving door between Fox and the White House.

“Everybody wins,” one Fox opinion-side staffer told The Daily Beast.

Wonder if MSNBC and Lawrence O'Donnell lost a friends over his latest fake news.

MSNBC should open its broadcast using with the same guy who opened CBS newscast years ago. Remember the show would start with that guy's deep voice "Theis CBS news."

This one would be "This is TDS news."

To be fair, they'd open themselves up to lawsuits from CNN, CBS, NBC and ABC for copyright infringement.....!

'The bleeding hasn't stopped yet' for U.S. dairy farmers
https://www.yahoo.com/news/dairy-farmers-trade-war-182208360.html?ncid=facebo...

American dairy farmers are hurting.

“It’s not been easy,” Patty Edelburg, vice president of the National Farmers Union, told Yahoo Finance. “We’ve lost a lot of farms in Wisconsin. Last year, we’ve lost close to 7,000 farms. We see the numbers haven’t stopped. The number of farm bankruptcies and the number of farm sell-outs in Wisconsin just hasn’t stopped. The bleeding hasn’t stopped yet.”

Total U.S. dairy exports have been down since trade tensions ramped up over the last year: As of June 2019, total exports were down 8.1% year-to-date compared to 2018, according to data provided to Yahoo Finance by U.S. Dairy Export Council, and exports to China dropped by over 7%.

“Since the tariffs were first imposed, U.S. dairy product exports have plummeted 43%,” a recent note from Wells Fargo Securities Economics Group stated. “With exports down so sharply, many farms have run into trouble.”

YES.

What's the matter mark? Too hard to comprehend?

Here's the quote:

7000 dairy farms closed in Wisconsin this year?

YES.

I'm having a little problem with the math. You say 7,000 dairy farms have gone out of business. Let's say that is 10% of the total number of dairy farms in Wisconsin. That means before, there would have been 70,000 dairy farms total in Wisconsin. I'm having my doubts that thete are 70,000 dairy farms in the entire country.

So explain it to me cause I don't understand.

The numbers are incorrect. Patty Edelburg is not a good source for accurate numbers although it could be possible a zero was added to 700 as that's considerably closer to the actual number of closures in 2018.

The USDA recorded 2,731 farms closed in the entire country 2018, almost a 7% drop by my calculations.

Look through NASS for WI:

https://quickstats.nass.usda.gov/

Wisconsin Agricultural Statistics Service (WASS):
Number of Licensed Dairy Herds: 7,619 herds (August 1, 2019)
Number of Dairy Cows: 1,268,000 dairy cows (July 2019)
Average Number of Cows Per Dairy Farm: 166 dairy cows (July 2019)

This can be verified with the 2019 quarterly export information, its printable and accessible at the bottom of this page:

Way to spoil it Eegore...... Of course 7,000 dairy farms didn't close in one state in one year. Like I said, if you just think for yourself a minute, at 10%, that's 70,000 total dairy farms. There's probably only a handfull of cites in Wisconsin with more than 70,000 people.

Which begs the questions, if you TDS infected souls were so easily fooled by a statement so obviously false, what other fake news have you been fooled by? And, what other fake news, not so obviously silly, have you and others believed?

Some of you believed it was possible a 17 year old straight A student from a prominent family organized and participated in gang rape parties pulling students from a relatively small group of Catholic high schools where the same girls were raped numerous times and no one ever found out or said anything.

Seriously, you guys must have a brain, use it.
