    This story comes from a conservative tabloid. Is there any verification that this actually happened? Perhaps from a legitimate news source?

      Any story that comes with a photo of a cop and a living dog is valuable to Fox News.

      Are you suggesting everything from a conservative source is “fake news”?

      That was one of the first little bits of verbal diarrhea that we saw from a certain oompa loompa looking motherfucker back in the day… You remember? The guy that turned most of the conservative side of the house into a jonestown cult? Don’t listen to the other guys news stories because blah blah blah they’re liberals and we don’t like em?

      It’s ok I guess, do the exact same shit you claim to hate… I’ll be over in the corner there with my popcorn and shit. At some point I’ll abandoned all your forums like I’ve abandoned theirs, whenever y’all go full batshit.

        Fox “News” testified in court (multiple times) that no reasonable person would accept their stories as factual. They testified under oath that they are not news.

        As for the rest of conservative media, every word uttered by a conservative is deception or manipulation. Every single word.

        You can’t know what’s real and what’s a lie on Fox News, so the correct response is to believe nothing they say unless it’s corroborated. But if you have another source, what do you need Fox News for? There is literally no reason to ever pay attention to Fox News except to keep tabs on what bullshit they’re feeding to their audience.

          It’s a very short article, woman left her microchipped dog in a stroller after she was told it couldn’t fly without a crate, and they intend to charge her.

          There’s nothing about race, gender, sexuality, age, no mention of anything that would immediately get identified in a typical left/right biased article. There’s absolutely zero politicizing, so why would there be any concern for factuality?

          I don’t have a clue what fox news even looks like anymore (I don’t really give a shit what outlet is hosting any given article, but I’m not going to actively looking for fox news articles, and I’m not prone to visiting righty communities that would post them), but clicking this and reading it gives me absolutely no indication that I need any grains of salt to go with it. I can’t say the same for like 99% of the articles that get linked…

          The “oh no… Fox… Lies!!! Everything is false!!! Beware!!!” Seems more like righty shit than lefty shit, so I’m gonna say something :)

            Fox lies. They are world famous for it. This is not a sleight or an insult. It is not a commentary on weak or partisan journalism. It is a fact. They are liars. They have testified to that in court multiple times. That makes them a tabloid. They admit that in courtrooms. Their veracity should never, ever be assumed.

            No one is picking on you. We are simply questioning the source, since the source itself admits to being questionable.
