So why is it that MSM considers outlets like Breitbart, Daily wire, Daily Caller and others fake news. The spreaders of "misinformation", note The following graph comes from

Breitbart, Daily wire, etc.. is, in my opinion, main stream media, and therefore fake news. Right along with cnn, fox, msnbc , etc etc..

 

I always get a laugh at people who think their preferred news outlet, which has literally millions of viewers or readers, somehow isn’t main stream. They all have agendas. 
 

4D chess moves and the left/right wingers can’t keep up (brains too small)

So where do you get your News?  Do you use one of the MSM outlets that published fake news about Russian Collusion for 4 years?

I try to stick to more financial related outlets these days, mainly Reuters, WSJ.  Not perfect or unbiased, but leagues better than fox, cnn and msnbc (the big 3)

 

anything I see on fox, cnn or msnbc.. i just assume they’re lying as always, and the truth is probably somewhere in the middle

I actually enjoy flipping between msnbc, cnn and fox.......we actually agree, the truth is somewhere in the middle.  While they all have agenda's of what "truth" they want to deliver,  CNN in wins hands down as most obvious.

Which side pushed the narrative about Russian collusion?  Didn't even do their due diligence to find the truth.  From Newt Gingrich's book, Trump:  " Harvard finds the CNN and NBC's coverage of President Trump is 93% negative.  Again, there was a huge, intense news media consensus that the so-called whistleblower at the center of the Democrat's impeachment plan could not be named.  Reporters and hosts of news shows would cut off Republicans and try to shame them if they insisted on trying to name this person.   So the news media created an entirely new rule that (without evidence) you could accuse the president of the United Sates of a crime, spur an impeachment effort, and remain anonymous.  This violated Trump's basic right to face his accuser.  It violated every principle of common sense.  Something as serious as an impeachment should require basic evidence." 

So, why didn't the main stream media seek to find this evidence?  Because they have gotten in bed with the socialist/totalitarian movement.  Which just so happens to be housed in the Democratic party!

If someone can’t tell that cnn is democrats version of news and fox is the republicans version of news. That someone is seriously lacking intelligence. The news is always somewhere in the middle. Both fox and cnn do provide good journalism. But that gets overshadowed by the opinion show people who get air time to voice opinions not news. 
 

News today is always agenda driven. They can only talk about What the ad people will allow them to. So what you hear is what Coca Cola, Koch Etc. Allows you to hear.

More from Newt Gingrich's book, Trump:  "For each minute the broadcast evening newscast spent talking about the president's successful economic programs, viewers heard 77 minutes about the Democrat's impeachment push, a massive disparity.  Overall, coverage of the president was 93% negative during the last 4 months, reaching 95% negative in January 2020."

It kills me to hear someone compare CNN and Fox and make the statement that they are equally bad or good however you want to look at it.  They either watch neither or don’t have enough intelligence to understand news.  CNN has been involved in so many cover ups and scandals over the years and now their lead anchor is providing cover for his brother’s sex scandal and is actually advising him on how to handle it.

The two are not even close in credibility but I realize it makes the fence straddling moderates feel smarter to say it.

The salient point is:  Pamfam10, or any other liberal here, doesn't watch Fox.  But they are an authority on the network!  LOL!!

I think many Liberals/Democrats confuse FOX News with the many opinionated show (Carlson, Hannity, etc).  The difference is, on the FOX News show, you get News.  On CNN, you get their version of the News, plus they’ll throw in their opinions.  We record & watch CBS every evening.  Fascinating to see their slant, and newsworthy events that show the Dems in a bad light are omitted.  Obvious to see why many Liberals are so uninformed.

Like I said, you don’t even understand what you’re talking about.  Sex scandals and skewing or covering up news scandals are two completely different things.  Bill O’Reilly was in a sex scandal but you would be hard pressed to find a more straight shooter, news wise.  If I turn on a channel and get the correct news and the anchor is promiscuous, no big deal to me.

They also didn’t try to cover it up or not report it a la communist news network and Cuomo.

As someone that watches FOX exclusively and by exclusively Tucker Carlson, (host of the #1 cable show). Fox believe it or not is actually Fair and Balanced. You have to look at their total line up and access the host, hostess or group for who they are and what they represent.

Hannity and Ingraham are total shrills of the Right, not far right but definitely not centrist. They match up with your cuomo and gay lemon, which in my opinion are far left. Fox's Wallace, Cavuto, Williams and Geraldo lean left, with the rest of the line up centrist to right leaning.

I feel at least on the actual news end of it Brett Baier, Harris Faulkner and Jon Scott give accurate and informative information. 

I do find it ironic that Fox which has the highest ratings is alway slammed by the outlets its killing in the ratings as if Fox forces people to watch, heck turn off the Airport Terminal monitors for CNN and they would get less traffic than mothergoose.com...

You have a strange way of connecting dots, no one is defending sex offenders here.  Fox fired their #1 guy over the scandal, something cnn would never do.  My main point was to simply highlight your ignorance that the two are equal.
