    Fox News viewers have been shown to have basic facts wrong at an alarmingly higher rate than any other news outlet. Facts about government, facts about the economy, facts about creationism. It goes on and on. But at least they are well-versed in adult diapers, selling gold, and Viagra.

    Don't know if I'm rare. But I go to left biased media to get my news.

    I've found it the absolute best way to confirm how screwed up they are.

    Oh my gosh...
    Fox news is not "right wing".
    Fox news is moderate at best. Hannity and Carlson are the only two people on there that are close to right wing. The channel is mostly always R establishment. If you think the R establishment is "right wing" you need to get out more.

    Is Fox news better than the others...maybe a tad, at least the BS they make up isn't from the point of view of a hard core socialist mental degenerate POV. The other networks are the epitome of fake news and don't just "lean left" they are so far left they've knocked the end of the scale out. Fox news seems right wing to many now because the left has gone so damn far left that everyone has lost perspective on the actual breadth of the scale.

    Oh and John Stewart is a POS. The only way I wouldn't pee on that nitwit is if he was on fire.

    This stuff is pure gold...

    " This morning, because many of our nation's reporters and folks will not tell you the truth, and will not treat the wonderful people of our country with the respect that they deserve. And I hope going forward we can be a little bit — a little bit different, and maybe get along a little bit better, if that's possible. Maybe it's not, and that's okay, too.Unfortunately, much of the media in Washington, D.C., along with New York, Los Angeles, in particular, speaks not for the people, but for the special interests and for those profiting off a very, very obviously broken system. The press has become so dishonest that if we don't talk about it, we are doing a tremendous disservice to the American people. Tremendous disservice. We have to talk about it, to find out what's going on, because the press honestly is out of control. The level of dishonesty is out of control"

    "Now look, fair trade. Not free, fair. If a country is taking advantage of us, not going to let that happen anymore. Every country takes advantage of us almost. I may be able to find a couple that don't. But for the most part, that would be a very tough job for me to do."

    Corporate news is profit driven. They tell the narrative they believe their viewers want to hear. That is why Fox and Friends peddled their stories about President Obama's intention to declare marshal law, nullify the election, and send the dissenters to FEMA camps. That is why Dan Rather published his story about G. W. Bush going AWOL when he was in the Guard. Snippets of "it could happen," embellished with ideology. Occasionally a grain of truth. The scary part is that so many people swallow it hook-line-and-sinker.

    Imagine if President Bush and President Obama went duck hunting and Bush's dog walked across the water to retrieve a duck. Fox would report that the dog was the reincarnation of Jesus, and MSNBC would report that Bush's dog was afraid of the water. The honest eye witness would tell you that the dog walked across the ice and retrieved the bird.

    News stopped being news a long time ago. I think most people with a little life experience and average intelligence can see the media has an agenda. Depending on what station you watch it will be obvious what it is. I enjoy flipping back and forth between fox and msnbc, CNN etc etc. If you have done this for any length of time the reality of the situation will become obvious. Stories will be spun and/or buried depending on the prevailing views of the station.

    For the last 8 years we heard how great the president was and what a great job he did. For most people the world didn't get much better over the last 8 years. For many it got worse. The very groups the democrats have pandered to for years finally realized they were being played and voted for trump.
    Obama deports criminal illegals he's doing the work of the people, same deportations different president and he's a hateful racist.
    The hypocrisy and deception goes on and on. Both sides are guilty.
    I believe most people see it for what it really is. I thought the media would get a little more balanced after they lost the election. It appears they have chosen to go all in instead of restoring credibility.
