When has Faux News ever reported fairly?

it's like watching a TV show specialized in fraudulent speaking.

Fairness? Proven pathological lying from narcissistic Trump. or Different journalists from different media organisations reporting on Trump.

President Trump is not the arbiter of what is "true". ❌❌❌ STOP THE COUP! ❌❌❌

The only correct response: "So the president's saying, 'waaahhh, it's not fair,' and that's why there's no more freedom of the press?"

P.O.S.

I don't fucking care 'if the president doesn't see if happening that way'! It's in the fucking constitution - you can't just ban them because you don't think they're 'playing fairly'!

Zero morality. Zero principles. Just 100% capitulation.

Yeah well, the President is a convicted felon and is only one branch of government.

Fairly, just like Fox does. What a joke.

Assmuncher Will change his twisted tune in a couple of months Press is more important than your insurrectionist ass bare ass o

Where in the constitution does it say they’re obligated to report “fairly?”

Barasso: "The press has an obligation to report fairly." Wtf? Election of 1800, Adams vs. Jefferson, 2 guys responsible for founding documents, ran for office during a time when newspapers might actually make up some crap about a politico. The press must not start riots. The rest, fair game!

So? Who gives a flying f@ck how he sees it, Senator. You are either for the 1st Amendment or you are not. If you are not, which basically you are saying, then resign. You are violating your oath.

Whenever I see any of the four Republican senators who are MDs all I can think about is their confirming RFK Jr to lead DHHS. Nothing any of them say about anything has any credibility.

Wouldn't it be cool if just one reporter had the ovaries or balls to remind Republicans how Trumpet used that same media to VILLIFY Obama saying he wasn't a "real American"? All LIES about his birth certificate! The media reports FACTS & #DonaldTheDictatorWannabe calls it fake news. BIG DIFFERENCE.

"The press has an obligation to report fairly"...and Fox is invited.

Ha what unbelievable BS!

And they were fair during Obama and Biden? BS

The majority of Americans that voted wanted for your president twice so FAFO. If you want a different president the order side needs to frame the policies they will push for and spell out in detail how they will benefit the American people. Cut through the white noise and don't go off message

Because he is a fascist and this a$$clown support him.

As many Americans we do not respect the logic or tge deed.

The current press are a bunch of pussies.. since they don’t stand up to the orange clown it won’t seem any different with them not being there anyway.

Also, Wyoming is over-represented in the Senate. Don't forget there's only one Congresswoman from Wyoming, but yet two Senators. You could combine Idaho (2), Wyoming, Montana(2), the Dakotas (one apiece) and Nebraska (3) into one state and STILL have fewer Congressman than California (52)...

Imaginary interaction: Welker: "Do you agree with Biden's ban of Fox and Newsmax?" Barrass[h]o[le]: "This is a complete outrage and unconstitutional! I am encouraging my colleagues in the House to bring articles of impeachment!"

That will be because the 🍊 🐓 is delusional not because it is true

AHEM: supreme.justia.com/cases/federa...

Great, so another president can exclude Fox and OANN and so on, I guess. Thanks, Sen. Barrasso! Glad you see it that way. Such a douchebag.

No. There is no mention of an obligation to report fairly. They are supposed to report truthfully

TRANSLATION: "I don't realize that 24 months from now I won't be able to retrieve my pathetic lapdog legacy from the annals of history. I'm a fucking pathetic weakling whose grandchildren will know I did this."

Constitutional obligations and moral obligations are not the same thing.

“The president doesn’t see it that way” but how would a sane person see it?

So fuck the Constitution. Got it.

1st Amendment does not require fair reporting.

It's funny because not only is that not how freedom of the press works, but that is literally the kind of treatment the press is supposed to be guaranteed of being free from under freedom of the press ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

They have no such obligation. If they did, who should decide what is fair? A draft dodging raping felon?

Doesn’t matter what these jackasses think about fairness, Barrasso knows it’s not true

Report fairly = follow the 'state script' or you're banned.

If the press had a constitutional mandate to report fairly, right wing media wouldn't exist, and wouldn't ever have existed. Fox News could rename itself to the Fox Framing Network and it would be more accurate.

Geezus, have ANY of them actually read the U.S. Constitution? He has absolutely zero idea what the First Amendment even does, but it definitely has no bearing on what Twitter did.

New OSHA Regulations are needed to protect reporters

Congratulations to "Senator" Barrasso. Today's 2+2=5 Winner!

So Trump is the arbiter of fairness??? That is beyond cynical.

Barrasso is so obedient. No, the President doesn't get to silence freedom of speech or of the press. The people he doesn't like tell the truth and Trump hates reality.

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

The objective of the press is to be factual, not "fair", whatever that means.

That is some serious weasel words stuff there

Follow up question "So when the next president bans Fox and Newsmax you'll be ok with that?"

Barrasso also known as asshole is a Pedophile loving Nazi. Pass it doen.

Kristen Welker has proven herself to be totally incompetent. Did she ask Borasso if Trump was a member of the press when he was banned from X and FB?

So when the Dems get power no more Fox or News max or Bari Weiss bullshit you good with that?

So some place in the constitution, presidents can decide if the media, or anyone exercising our right to free speech is being fair. Someone show me that entry in the constitution. Epstein files

But the same lackey has no problem with Fox 'news' and their 24/7 cycle of lies.

What a cowardly sack of shitstains the gop is

We just want them to report truthfully not fairly

To which the only reply is "So What?"

What a coward. Barrasso could care less about the American Experiment. Disgusting.

Someone please tell the senator that Donald Trump is president, not the sole arbiter of everything that happens in the country.

Trump "not seeing it that way" doesn't reflect reality. It means he's a very special little boy who is violently allergic to anything that pierces his little narcissist bubble.

There’s no such thing as fair. There are only truth and lies. 🤷‍♀️

This POS knows that there is a HUGE difference getting banned from a private company Twitter and being censored by the US federal government. These Republicans think we are all as dumb as their voters.

Well the president's right. Most of the press bow down and kiss his feet. They'll be the ones to stay. It's only the truth seekers he wants banned because his whole presidency is based on lies he wants repeated. If he wants respect and accolades, he's going to do something worthy of that.

🤦‍♂️

Where is the outrage from the right wing comedians who had to replace laughter with podcasting because they aren’t funny?

trump is not the nation's arbiter of fairness! 😠

Absolutely shameful. From a US Senator no less. The whole point of freedom of the press is so that one individual can’t decide what is correct or “fair”. And to compare what the president is doing to the work of private businesses to ban individual users of their platform has to be gaslighting.

Orange doesnt get to decide.

Can't even answer a question by himself.

Welker should be wearing a "just say no" t-shirt. Would probably make the interviews a lot more concise

Thought the press had the obligation to report truthfully.

Allowing a pathological liar to determine what's "fair" doesn't appear to respect or value the First Amendment. So cut the evasive bullshit, senator. You support a despotic grifter's propaganda state.

There are multiple strong rational voices in the House, Jason Crow comes to mind. CNN, MS NOW, and Politico reporters should hold pressers with the emerging Democrat leaders and ignore the whiner.

The president’s feelings don’t matter. End of story.

Barrso posited a totally false equivalence saying in Trump was banned from Twitter and Facebook. Trump is not part of the press so his being banned is NOTHING like banning the press from the White House.

The problem with the orange menace, is "DJT can't handle the truth."

Barosso is just another spouter of bs to cover for the crimes of the orange fat one.

Accurately, not fairly.

The press has the obligation to report the truth. What Trump doesn’t like is the truth. And the truth is that he is the most corrupt & incompetent President we have ever had.

He’s insane

These Republicans have no substance other than "defend the president at a costs"

Facebook and Twitter are not the president of the United States. They can ban anyone they want as they are under no constitutional requirement of freedom of speech. The govt of which the president is the chief officer cannot ban freedom of the press. That’s why that protection exists!

The idea that the press must be ‘fair’ in order to be free is completely contradictory to the entire concept of press freedom. Fairness is a matter of opinion, freedom is not.

The senator lacks the courage to confront the truth.

The 1st Amendment doesn't come with any obligation to anyone's views.

The press reports Trump's own words and actions. Trump can go pound sand if he doesn't like it.

They’ve been bending over backwards to the point it is painful.

Barrasso is an idiot and a traitor to the Constitution. If the POTUS is allowed to block news outlets based on his own opinion of "fair reporting" then WE DON'T HAVE A FREE PRESS!!! Trump and Barrasso are MAGA TRAITORS!!!

Full traitor mode. Fuck these people.

Constitution is not about Trumps feelings.

Shall we now talk about FOX and the others of that ilk?

Fuck that guy.

Another waste of time Republican interview

Send him the final decision regarding what FOX news had to pay for the lies. 876 million was it? Maybe he forgot

Anything short of constantly blowing sunshine up his ass is considered unfair though.

GOP: "Only reporting that figuratively sucks Trump's cock is acceptable reporting." What a bunch of whiny petulant crybabies.

Here’s the thing, the constitution doesn’t give a fuck if the pos potus thinks reporting is fair.

The fact this is coming from the Republican Party is stunning.

He left out the word honest that goes with fairly

Is he referring to Fox?

Well, tough shit!

Whether the rapist likes it or not, they are speaking the truth. Maybe the rapist should stop doing stupid shit and stupid shit wouldn't be said about him. There's a fucking thought

This is the exact bullshit voters hate

YOU ARE NOT THE JUDGE OF WHAT IS FAIR!

What a non answer

The president isn't tge arbiter of what is truth or not, especially with all the lies he spreads. We never had fake news until we got a fake president.

Trump is a compulsive liar and narcissist who can never accept any failure. This guy decided he will say anything to flatter that ego.

The free and fair part is Trumps issue. The fact that he is so narcissistic and can’t bear to see anything but the highest praise is why he did this. Every decision that man has ever made is crap.

Why don’t we just ban AprentASS ? There’s no story to get out of his gums. Lies and put down on others is not what we are

Lily livered coward

So remove him 🤷

Reporting "fairly" and reporting truth are not always the same thing.

Except, even if that were true, That Doesn't Fucking Matter Republicans do not value freedom of the press. They value freedom for THEIR press.

Sniveling coward.

He brought up Hunter Bidens laptop as an example of the press not doing their job covering the important stories. 🙄

The press's job is not to please politicians. Their job is to keep us informed so we can hold them accountable

Ok. And he may have his own opinion, just like every other citizen of this country. He may not force others to only hear/read his sole opinion. End of story.

This is the same a hole who voted for RFK Jr to become the head of the HHS

BARRASSO: Kris I want to ADDRESS this issue. [WELKER nods] You KNOW I am sensitive to the freedom of the press WELKER: Absolutely BARRASSO: BUT!

He's a piece of shit! Vote him out too! Enough of these old biggots and weirdos and their money grabbing friends and families!

Who is this guy? (Yes, I know who he is…that’s not the question) This mook just popped up on our radar after spending years doing f all for his constituents in … WY? He needs to show up more often, and then we can take him seriously.

This man needs to realize his legacy is in the toilet.

STOP....having these sycophant apologists, who will never say the truth, on your shows......STOP platforming them.

Someone should tell that moron that Facebook and Twitter are not 'the press' - they are private companies that made the choice to ban Trump. Why are these people so f-ing stupid?

Kiss that ring real good, John Barrasso.

Its embarrassing to watch this, its like trump is grafting his complete lack of shame on the US.

And the follow up should have been "Do YOU think the press has been reporting fairly?"

So, the answer is yes.
