I'm glad you recognize Fox conservatives are beneath the rest of humanity.

CNN Democrats give them a run for their money though!

Got that right. ^^

Enjoy your capitalist news products.

The New Republic became garbage. I still read The Atlantic sometimes.

You shouldn't pretend that everyone knows how biased and extreme Fox News is. There's millions of Americans who believe that Fox is the only fair network.

I've made this argument before, but I find it bewildering that people hypercritical of the media hold the profession up as if it's supposed to be pristine. The idea of objective journalism hasn't been around that long, and furthermore, there's no good reason to hold a group called "journalists" to an astronomically higher standard than Trump, Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, and others. Trump and Hannity have a vastly larger audience than the NYT and WaPo, and their audience believes what they say. So if anything, they should be held even more accountable when they get the facts wrong.

I'd have to disagree. I think there's millions of Americans who appreciate ANY news source that ISN'T so obviously left leaning. They don't necessarily think that FOX is always fair or right, it's just the ONLY other option to MSM in general.

why america is divided.. right here

i'm hearing a growing call for major media to be looked at as traitors to the nation, and every day i agree a little more.

The NYT and WaPo (and other newspapers of record) have a lot of influence with the functional elites of the country. Other media might have a larger audience, but the readership of these newspapers is extraordinarily powerful. When it comes to actual power, they punch far above their weight because the persons they influence are the decision-makers instead of the anonymous masses.

Because I'm arguing with a Deutchlander on the internet?
