    Fox is pretty awful these days but I don't think any of them are healthy.

    Again, I think almost all news networks are poison but honestly you nailed it here. Really well said

    Pathetically weak response. I don't think Steele was a source for the GOP-led Senate Intelligence Committee that spent 3 years investigating the Trump campaign's cooperation with the Russian attack on our democracy. By the way, the Committee was critical of the FBI regarding the Steele dossier. But that doesn't negate the extensive contacts and cooperation between the Trump campaign and the Russians.

    Face it . . . . You can't handle the truth!!!

    Learn something . . . .

    I painted with too broad a brush. It is Carlson and Hannity.
    I watch CNN often. They don't think negatively of conservatives at all, which isn't to say one of the talking heads (who I usually ignore) might say something negative. But you have to omit, OB, they are nowhere near as hysterically negative as C and H. That's all I have ever lamented - Trump and Fox, and not even the former's policies or those of conservatives. I don't agree with most of the policies of conservatives, but I have always respected the role they have played in this nation's history, believing that reasonable people can differ. C and H show no respect, and in fact demonize, liberals, and that is not only unfair, but dangerous. You're not my enemy, and I hope I'm not yours.

    How many times just on this thread have each of those networks been mentioned? They win again. That is all they require..relevancy.
    I walked away from any and all political discussions and with few exceptions completely ignore any news that holds specific bias to any extreme.
    What is more troublesome to me is with a world, country, city, town, neighborhood or family in constant change that news shows highlights conversation..My major concern is after all the lies and b.s Trump and Republicans have put in your face how can regular people relearn what the standard of ethics and honesty is. Take a look around...everything is me me me and there is little desire for community anymore. I say pull down your Trump flags and 2020 political signs (to include the "Fu..Biden" one) and rejoin America! Turn off your brain killing propoganda and go fishing. It was much better in this country when apathy ruled. Much better than the mouths that know little and only repeat idiocy in group form.
    I will retreat to life again while many of you hash out what the great philosphers and thinkers from a tv tell you.

    I just looked up some numbers and comparing the big three networks to Fox it is not even close. ABC, NBC, and CBS would have 15 million viewers compared to the 2.4 million viewers that FNC has. I really think FNC gets in the heads of the left.

    LMFAO at somebody posting a meme from facebook about TRUTH that is not based in any provable proof that it was ever said by the person in the meme. Also laughing at the fools that took the meme posters word for it and bought into the coolaid declaring the post a Winner.

    Modern "journalism" is gang raping journalism. So there's that.

    Since you're so interested in truth and proof, maybe you answer this question I asked you earlier:

    Cnn is awful quick to jump on any story that follows their regular agenda. To me that is lying. Do you think if I reported a hangman's noose hanging in my garage CNN would be all over it? How about if Dale Earnhart Jr found one hanging in his garage? Do you think CNN would have been all over it without a thorough investigation no questions asked?

    So you post an untrue meme then when it is proved to be a lie you delete it. How honest of you. That was the first meme of yours I ever checked and it was a lie. Maybe we should be checking out all those stupid memes you post.

    The lie was that Bubba Wallace had been the victim of a hate crime. Reporting hearsay and fabrications without thoroughly investigating it is lying in my book.

    I'd ask you to post the story where CNN said he was the victim of a hate crime, but I suspect you won't. So here's the deal: After NASCAR issued a statement that the noose was found, calling it a "heinous act" and starting it's own investigation ... and after the Department of Justice issued a statement saying that it was looking into the case ... then CNN wrote a story quoting both of those statements.
    If you consider any part of that a lie, maybe you should rethink your definition of truth.

    Here is CNN's story, which you claim shouldn't have been written.

    Bubba Wallace: Dept. of Justice is reviewing the noose found in NASCAR star's garage stall - CNN

    Apparently some people are unable to distinguish between a story reporting that the possibility of a hate crime was being investigated and a story (which was never actually published) reaching the conclusion that a hate crime had actually occurred. There is a real distinction between the two alternatives.
