    IN THE TANK, only represents one relationship with media in the tank. Well, two, the NATIONAL ENQUIRER.

    Wait, do you mean that ABC, NBC etc are not aiming for dollars in revenues?

    What i particularly enjoy about FOX is they NEVER put on a news program that lacks both sides views of things. Democrats totally forget who juan Williams is I guess or Shepard Smith or others working for FOX.

    I watched PBS news hour today, which is normal for me, and again it is a program designed for DNC fans to enjoy.

    Fox News gave America a second chance from not having a totalitarian MSM.

    I don’t care about what Johnson did with his Johnson. The guy’s been dead for over 45 years. The fact that he escalated the Vietnam war at the urging of his handlers from Brown and Root was pretty scummy.

    That is not why he escalated his war with Vietnam.

    NBC, ABC & CBS are not news channels; they are networks distributing programs which include a morning and evening news show which are not commentary in nature. There is a difference you know.

    Fox News Channel is just that, a news service. Furthermore what Fox does is during the course of their news programs is to add in opinion pieces from both sides which shoves aside objective reporting and instead relies on an opinion generated to sway the audience one way or another.

    Can you elaborate more on this to help us understand why you think it is a program designed for DNC fans to enjoy?? Can you describe the programming elements which led you to believe what you believe

    How can you not define FOX as you did for the networks? It and CNN came out to feature news but FOX has a strictly news portions of their programs. We see all of FOX judged only by the talking heads part.

    PBS loads its discussions with Democrats. Most of the time they do not include republicans nor counter views to the Democrats. PBS loads the program to endorse Democrats and reject Republicans. A lot of we viewers complain a lot over PBS. It is not my sole opinion.

    I think they are an ok news source to watch in general for everything but political news. However, they do have a very heavy right-wing biased so I suggest also watching something else too so that you can hear some other perspectives too.

    The reason why is that Fox News Channel is just that; a news service. The networks supply not only news programs, but sports and entertainment programs as well. Both Fox and CNN originally came out to feature news, but have evolved into what they are today. People now have a choice to see/hear what they want to

    PBS loads its discussions with Democrats. Most of the time they do not include republicans nor counter views to the Democrats. PBS loads the program to endorse Democrats and reject Republicans. A lot of we viewers complain a lot over PBS. It is not my sole opinion.[/QUOTE]

    This is why you have choice nowadays to select the news program of your choice; don't like Fox, then go over to PBS or CNN or CBN, etc.

    I voted that it is neither here nor there because it is like The New York Post; similar to The New York Daily News; the only difference between them both is the wording which promotes the slant. I have long abandoned the old Left/Right, Liberal/Conservative paradigm because it is ALL about casting dispersion to continue the rule of that which is illegitimate.

    I would have a strong sense of indignation because of my overwhelming sense of being openly insulted, if I watched and/or belief what the Ministry of Truth (any and all MSM so-called news outlets)!

    They should just rename Fox News to State Run Television.

    Its nothing more than a Trump sounding piece.

    Sure, Fox puts some spin on the news. This is especially true of Hannity and sometimes he gets so spun up that even I have trouble sitting through all of it. But when compared with the crud, lies and the crap on MSNBC, NBC, CBS, ABC, and all the rest of them Fox is the best there is on the air. No contest.

    Apparently actively promoting fear and divisiveness, making wild unsubstantiated accusations against anyone who challenges the right, ignoring facts, misrepresenting, fanning anger, spouting bigotry and hate and exhibiting gross hypocrisy is what constitutes a "beacon of light" and "refreshing" to the majority of its audience.

    Tragically cable news has, for the most part, become nothing more than "political opinion tv" with only a passing interest in actually reporting the news. Watching them, one could easily gain the impression that not much really happens beyond the political partisan bullshit conflict, except police/white on black violence, routine mass shootings, tragic accident or hurricane.

    They aren't tRUMP's fake news network, but certainly his base's fake news network.
    tRUMP just happens to be the figure head at the moment.
    10 or so years ago, tRUMP was a CNN leaning person. But I think a black skin prez triggered something.

    they are flip sides of the same coin imo
