Fair and balanced media is an unobtainable ideal and certainly doesn't exist among any corporate news rags.

If you're trusting any corporate media to tell you balanced truth they're either lying to you and you don't realize it, or they're lying by omission (very common in MSM).

Even the Associated Press has made some pretty egregious errors triggering retractions or walkbacks, especially in the last few years.

Which corporate news outlet doesn't have a history of egregious lies and errors?

Unfortunately, for most of the population, it’s whatever they read/watch. For many conservatives, Fox News is gospel, and for many liberals, CNN is gospel.

Interestingly when Fox and CNN cover the same political event they can both come to opposite conclusions at the same time that present a victory for their side.

It really is like there are multiple realities.

But luckily enough, CNN and Fox are both more irrelevant than ever. There's a reason no young people watch. Young people get news from YouTube, Snapchat and other new media sources from people they trust.
