I don't watch FOX so I need some help here. Is this to be taken as humor, satire or literally?

Wasn't Bonino the asst FBI director who said he was paid to lie when he worked at FOX? Imagine being a viewer who believes what they say is true, even when they tell you that it's not.
I think most people understand that Fox, MS Now, and most of these talk shows are "entertainment" or opinions and not news. It seems as if the basis of TV news these days is manipulation and opposed to information.

Jesse Watters Primetime averages between 2.6 million and 3.2 million total viewers, firmly cementing it as the second most-watched show in all of cable news, trailing only Fox News' The Five

I haven’t watched a tv “news” program in years. Just recently started watching CNBC again, Kernen keeps that show grounded.

I wonder how much longer these channels stay relevant as the medium for news seems to have switched to online as opposed to cable. We barely watch TV in my house, pretty much just sporting events.

Unfortunately I don’t believe this is correct. Most people are too dumb or easily coerced. Definitely agree with last sentence

The mental health studies out there pretty much confirm everything he just said. Over "educated" liberal women are statistically some of the least happy people in our country and their outlooks both professionally and romantically have never been worse in modern times.

Question for the long standing Clemson residents: did Ned get dunked on this hard before all of us Iowa and Nole immigrants came over?
Yes, he's long been called out for being a both sides boy. However, just like the other resident magas, he's gotten dunked on more and more with the influx of normal/rational individuals from the Iowa crew.

Lonely male syndrome...
It's a growing phenomenon around the world. Angry men is big business. Watters is a charlatan. I doubt he believes 10 percent of what he says. It's about feeding anger to him. Anger against women is growing as the world changes around men. There was a really good article in the Economist a week or two about the extreme rise of misogyny in China. Not enough women due to the one child policy, and more and more women are educated and having careers, unwilling to saddle themselves with a bum. That anger is resonating around the world right now.

As previously mentioned, doubtful this guy believes most of what he spouts, but he knows his audience and what they watch to hear.

He's gonna win every "punchable face" contest he ever enters.

Right, but we have already had numerous discussions about the brain drain of America being incorrigibly drawn to stupid sh*t like Fox, so your point seems unnecessary and superfluous.

Before I comment on the video clip (I watched it in its entirety), let me preface by saying I never (intentionally) watch Fox or any cable news. I know who Jesse Waters is and that he’s really bad at comedy, but that’s about it.

With that said, I am missing what there is to be outraged about in that clip. It’s clearly an opining segment on a network known for opining and providing conservative entertainment, not actual news. So, his commentary seems right on brand. On top of that, while a little awkward at times in his delivery, nothing he said was jaw-dropping or worthy of pearl-clutching. In fact, I will go as far as to say the goofy mother f#cker nailed it, because he did. Everything he said about college degrees, work experience, job opportunities, financial situations, disillusionment, frustration, anger, etc. was accurate.

I honestly don’t know what the left is butthurt about other than the video showed Jesse Waters while his lips were moving. Perhaps because the commentary would likely be excluded from appearing in any modern rendition of the Feminine Mystique? I genuinely don’t have a clue. Then again, I am merely slightly less dense than the average American, middle-aged male conservative not requiring Pete Hegseth testosterone injections to keep my man card, so dafuq do I know? 🤷‍♂️

Btw, you’re still gay. (Get over it.)

Try again. Fox alone owns that admission in court.

The claim that CNN admitted in court to being "entertainment" rather than a news organization contains a false premise. CNN has never made such an admission or legal argument in court. [1]
People really need to stop disputing facts, or pivoting to non sequitur outrage porn about a chick with a dick.
