"shame on their bias", that is true and they are not obliged to follow one or the other. But CNN blatantly lies to its viewers, political style. I don't think Fox goes out of its way to elaborate fake news to make the left look bad, the left does that on its own pretty well. I stand by my view, CNN is a POS fake news purveyor. Sorry if that disturbs your sensibilities. Go Chelsea!
I just want to be fair they both are equally bad. Remember how Obama and Hillary were chastized for saying they would sit down with North Korea and negotiate? FOX ripped him a new one repeatedly. Said he was weak and would sit down with terrorists. When Trump said he would sit down with NK, FOX hailed him as a candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize. Obama was ripped apart by FOX for not denouncing Farrakhan, Trump is ripped by CNN for not denouncing white nationalists or claiming good people on both sides. Neither side sees their own hypocrisy which makes it entertaining for me. They both do it, it is about raitngs and catering to your audience and CNN does not get viewers by praising GOP and FoX does not do well criticizing Trump. FOr me, I am a true independent (not Independent Party of Jill Stein) where I lean socially liberal and fiscally conservative and believe in George Washington's original view on the destructive nature of political parties. So I feel I am pretty even on calling bull shit both ways. CNN used to be a boring straight forward news network but is 4 hours of morning talk show and the evening is 4 hours of political talk shows. Nothing else happens in the world except what Trump said or tweeted and the panel of 5 asshats with the opinion. They rose up strongly with the Obama administration so felt vindicated and mainstream. This election showed their bias fully and they are happy to be the voice of liberals (both moderate and far left). FOX is pretty much the same being the voice of opposition for many years and ripping into Obama and giving the non-coastal states a voice and outlet of their frustration. The growing voice is what lead to 2016 election. Now they finally are out in front. The made their bones with O'Reilly and Hannity et al attacking Obama and now their party is in control they took the lead. Both have gone too far to ever come back to normal news, it does not make financial sense. MSNBC is in same boat as CNN. Bias is fine if it is acknowledged. But both networks tossing around the words "fair" and "unbiased" is funny. I do think Trump repeating Fake News is extremely dangerous. See how conservatives automatically take any news item criticizing Trump as fake news and not believable. The mind control is pretty scary because EVERY president is open to criticism and does things wrong. Impossible to disagree with that statement. ANything Obama did as gold from CNN and shit from FOX. And now the tables turned but it is worse because FOX was just seen as opinion against Obama. Now CNN is seen as lying and fake news and it sets the precedent to contorl and limit the media (things very against the heart of the democracy). ANy way...lot of bullshit above so let's just focus on...
