I'm not basing my opinion that Fox is a propaganda arm on their political slant dude. It's literally the history of the organization.
Let me ask you, who from MSNBC, CNN, etc. could be called the Democrat equivalent of Sean Hannity? Literally nobody. And he's only one person. Bill O'Reilly, Glenn Beck, Tucker Carlson also have no equivalent and they're just the ones off the top of my head. Now tell me that CNN is in the same tier as the network that has hosted dozens of weekly shows with slant orders of magnitude worse than even the most biased CNN reports with a straight face.
I dont even know why fox's strategy in how they convey their bias is so significant to you. Ill admit i cant name any names on CNN because i havent watched CNN (or fox) because of how poor of a job they both do for many years now. But a political slant (which is exactly what both of them do) without providing a fair representation of both sides of the story and letting the audience decide for themselves is exactly the aim of both news stations.
Why, how, and how many toes the anchors have isnt really important, only that the stations have a pretty similar effect on their viewership and both sides are partially responsible for the widening divide between right and left in this country. I am telling you with a straight face that they're both bullshit man
E; im actually mildly amused that you even hold CNN in such esteem. But as i said, things that you tend to agree with, including extreme views, sound much more neutral.
