I agree. Fox News wears what it is on it's sleeve. CNN proports to be a fair, truthful source of news and very rarely outright lies to people, but there is too much missing context, misleading headlines, and late corrections. It takes too much mental energy to figure out what is worth paying attention to on CNN, it is easier to just ignore it.

Isn't Fox New's official slogan "Fair and Balanced"?

If CNN is so neutral why do you assume that if I am against them that I like Fox News. News isn't a fucking red team vs blue team sport. I just want a good non-partisan news source. Fox News is terrible but CNN and MSNBC seem to be racing to be them.

I.... what?

I didn't say CNN is neutral, I don't believe that. Nor have I assumed you like Fox News, I didn't insinuate anything of the sort. All I'm saying is Fox News does not wear what they are on their sleeve; they purport to be "fair and balanced" which is plainly a lie.

Much like CNN is "The Most Trusted Name in News".

All news pretends to be real factual news. When has Fox ever delegitimized their own journalism?

> When has Fox ever delegitimized their own journalism?

In court. When their anchors get sued for slander.

When did Rachael Maddow join Fox?

Yeah, because the channel is called Fox News any rational person understands that shows like "Tucker Carlson Tonight", "Watter's World", or "Gutfeld!" are news and not entertainment/opinion. Same rational people are completely fine with trusting the legitimate news shows from respectable journalists on Comedy Central and HBO channels though.

There is no major left-wing equivalent to the Tucker Carlson original series Fox pushes. I’m not sure I buy that the left-wing media stoops to quite the lows that Fox does. The Patriot Purge series specifically intones that Jan. 6 was a false flag operation from the FBI to institute martial law and arrest Trump supporters - that, from the most watched cable news host in the US.

sounds harmless compared to Operation Northwoods: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Northwoods

but probably untrue since it was allowed on mainstream media. Anything that really threatens the narrative will be banned outright or at mission critical times, like this documentary removed from youtube after being available for 6 years:

Exactly. This article on Rolling Stone only gets published because there is a market for it, i.e., there are Right-wingers out there looking for 'evidence' that CNN is just as bad as 'fair & balanced' Fox News. In a free enterprise world, pieces only get published when there is a demand for it. I'm not quite persuaded by the Rolling Stone piece. To me, it has 'what about CNN' written all over it.

>>The "left wing" media pretend to be the only real/factual news/journalism, but can be just as biased and partisan, if not worse.
