Is fox news really news?

Fox, CNN and MSNBC claim to be a s refer to themselves as news when they are all actually opinion / entertainment programs. People watch them because the viewer is seeking reinforcement of his or her worldview or to be persuaded to adopt a particular worldview. Watching any is an abdication of one’s independent thought process.

This may be TLDR, but hang in there with me. Consider the following chart graphically illustrating the 15 most watched shows in cable news as of January 2022:

What does that tell you? To be fair all news channels have some form of bias or another. I took three classes in journalism and used to write for my school newspaper. I noticed news outlets began moving from strictly reporting facts, to blending the news with entertainment, to using movie industry techniques that increase viewer interest, to journalism taking a back seat to "infotainment" style as it attracted more viewers and thus increased ratings. In retrospect, even newspapers in the 1700s printed questionable rumor-mill articles against opposing political figures way back then as well.

To get an idea of what side of the spectrum a report is trending, try going to Ground News (https://ground.news/find?url=https%3A%2F%2Fground.news%2F), paste an article's address, and view the results on the next page. For example, AP's take on "No letup in fighting as missile strikes keep hitting Ukraine" at:

You'll get a better understanding and be better informed about the article's political leanings. Hope this helps explain things.

Then, you shouldn't watch any 'NEWS' station.

Eh...they show little parts and that's it. It's almost like a sham strip Club where you want to see what's going on and the Ladies just pull off their socks and nothing else.

That's what Fox News is. Including Sky news and News Max.


If you want to see some real shit....it may do some research.

[i][b][/b][/i] CNN and MSNBC are just as bad. But they lean left, far left.
Pick your poison.

But even Australia is heckling Biden now......

There is a misconception that Fox is quite different than CNN, MSNBC, and the other big 3 networks. It's not. It's called controlled opposition.

Theyre all pro, witch ever side.
Its not only fox

All news stations are biased in one direction or another. Fox makes up a load of stuff, and then once I saw CNN report food shortages in the U.K. that never happened either.

I just don’t watch news now unless it’s local community stuff.

Fox News is listed as an entertainment station

TV news is a shitshow in the US
