Wow. Someone willing to criticise the “Lamestream media”. You never see this happen anywhere. What a brave and principled guy he is.

People say to me sometimes, ‘Kevin? Oh he’s a proven liar, with a history of making things up to further his career at the expense of everyone else’ and I say ‘you seen this vid of him owning libs?’

Fair play to Kevin McCarthy for telling CNN some home truths. CNN with their made up hoaxes for impeachments and prosecutions.

Just so weird, you lot

High level of professionalism, that. I don't think the word 'wannabe' has ever been used by anything calling itself a news network, outside the context of the Spice Girls.

Just more proof, if any was needed, that they are not a "serious" "news" organization

The addiction/drug policies in these Dem cities again make the problem worse not better. I don't think it has to be a universal approach to at least alleviate these problems but I will admit that some joined up thinking would help. Plenty of rural(mostly Republican) areas have massive drug issues, I don't see too many of these people moving to Dem cities because of their enlightened policies but no doubt some probably do.

One reason I(and others on this thread) should be for greater states rights is a bit of A-B testing on these policies would be great. Let's have the coastal states set up the most liberal policies going on drugs, homelessness, mental health issues. Let's see if the war on homelessness can be won. I know what I suspect the outcome would be but it should at least be attempted. If it fails it can be thrown out as a bad experiment. If it succeeds it can then be copied by backward Republican states.

Fox gave a pretty good summation of the Christian right's view on homelessness yesterday.
Honestly, I've no idea how these people can draw a straight line between politics and faith

One more reason to turn off Fox News. Which is a shame, America really needs a thriving Fox News.

thriving fox news has torn the fabric of America to shreds for advertising dollars for a generation now.
Ailes and Murdoch are both responsible for this countries decline.
Fox is where decency went to die.

Especially when you consider that veterans make up a not insignificant % of those people he is advocating stigmatizing.

Yea, I know the first amendment is sacrosanct in this country but for me this falls in to a gray area not dissimilar to shouting fire in a crowded theatre.
Using the most viewed national news channel to call for people to stigmatize the homeless because they're on deaths door anyway is going to lead to deaths.
I don't even think I'm being hyperbolic.

And the King will answer, "In truth I tell you, in so far as you did this to one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did it to me."

it's also Watters being desperately sensationalist in the hope of claiming Carlsons 'king of the idiots' crown
