I get my info from a wide variety of sources.
Yes. Fox is trying to be ‘balanced’ by balancing lies and the truth equally. Not good.
ABC, NBC, CBS, NPR, PBS, Pacifica, NYTimes, LATimes, Boston Glob, WashingtonPoo, Time-Lies, Newsweak, RollingStoned, etc. do no better at presenting unbiased news.
At least viewers of Fox/MSNBC are told to expect SOME degree of slant in the presentation. I watch neither. And won’t suffer fools in the media who deny THEY hold any bias in their journalism, especially after they were caught red handed colluding on Journalist to shield Obama from criticism in the 2008 campaign and as he instituted his policies.
“It is, frankly, easier for someone to turn on either Fox News or MSNBC”
Hardly. In fact, it is SO hard to “turn on” msnbc that I don’t even try. Ever.
Not working, MSM.
Try again - AFTER you all go back to some college worthy of the name and take some courses that require something more than your high-school (make that PUBLIC high school) level of understanding.

FoxNews to the Right, is not even on the same playing field as it relates to MSNBC and it’s relationship to the Left.
FoxNews is generally biased to the Right, but it is by no means incapable of presenting Leftist views to counter the right. And it does so not infrequently.
FoxNews is nowhere near the biased anti-Left entity that the major media players try to frame it as being. It merely presents information without trashing the Right during the process. That being said, it does actually present bias at times, that isn’t pro Right. Whether by ignorance or by design, it doesn’t always get it right.
On times it does trash the Left rather hard. It’s the only news program that does. I think that is balanced, since every other national news entity trashes the Right non-stop, and they don’t have a nice thing to say about the Right ever.
MSNBC’s presentations are practically insane as reasoned logic goes. Trying to equate each as being fringe, MSNBC on the Left and FoxNews on the right, is a preposterous supposition.
I don’t watch either of those networks.
The better question from my view as a 30-something, is
What television news network has provided information rich news during my lifetime?
The answer to that leads one to believe Fox and MSNBC are no worse than what preceded them.
I would rather discuss breaking news here, getting a wide variety of opinions.
“a bad thing for democracy” Oh this sounds serious LOL.
What exactly is an MSNBC? (And how do you pronounce it?)
Strange, I thought ABC, CBS, CNN, New York Times, Chicago Times and others already accomplished this.
Not less informed. Less controlled, though, that’s for sure.
