Sometimes news is newsworthy not because it is particularly revelatory but because it confirms something obvious that lacked confirmation or because it provides something broadly understood with a sense of scale. This certainly applies to the revelation — uncovered by the New York Times’s Jonathan Martin and Alexander Burns and reported by CNN’s Brian Stelter — that President Biden views Rupert Murdoch, founder of Fox News, as “the most dangerous man in the world.”
Obvious in broad strokes but now confirmed and with a sense of scale.
But this top-line assessment of the face most associated with the right-wing cable network misses an important secondary assessment included in the Martin-Burns reporting. Fox News, the president feels, is “one of the most destructive forces in the United States,” as the reporters put it. This is the more important revelation as it recognizes the breadth of Fox News’s influence even beyond the elder Murdoch.
There are four elements outside of Murdoch that make Fox News a uniquely damaging part of the American news landscape: its strength on the political right, the demonstrated way in which it shapes its viewers’ beliefs, its grip on Republican power and the views of its leadership.
Fox News has a unique partisan power In December, The Washington Post and University of Maryland conducted a national poll that included an assessment of where people get their news about politics and government. Among Democrats and Democrat-leaning independents, a variety of sources — CNN, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, NPR, the Times, The Post — were identified as a main source of news by at least 3 in 10. Among Republicans, though, only two were: local television and Fox News.

Don’t ignore that Fox News, LIKEWISE, buried the Hunter Laptop story.
Tucker Carlson is the only reporter in the world who takes an independent view of Ukraine/Russia and he is enemy #1 as far as the FakeNewsMSM/globalists are concerned.
as critical as we can all be about Hannity at times, there is no other MSM reporter who delved into Russiagate as deeply as he did... with a team that included John Solomon, Sarah Carter etc.
Laura Ingraham is the only reporter in the MSM worldwide who brought together a credible covid medical cabinet - Risch, McCullough, Bhattacharya, Malone et al.
kudos to all three.
bury the FakeNewsMSM, and that includes much of Fox and Murdoch media elsewhere.
Local news is mostly all liberal. At least they cover crime.
I can’t take 4 minutes

For sure.
He has on commie guests, they make a counter point to him and he doesn’t rebut it. He actually gives them a platform and most often he isn’t intelligent enough to debate them coherently if at all.
What difference does it make how many sources Democrats get their news from if those sources are all singing the same song?
We should trust them and only them for our vision of Truth, Justice and the American Way.
Listen to the Mockingbird...media, that is.
“with a team that included John Solomon, Sarah Carter etc.”
John Solomon has his own 6 pm EST show for 1 hour on Real America’s Voice, same channel as Bannon’s Warroom. The Solomon show is excellent and he frequently breaks news that has not been heard yet.
WaPo wants us to believe it’s not news unless Biden approves of it. LOL
There are four elements that make CNN News a uniquely damaging part of the American news landscape: its strength on the political LEFT, the demonstrated way in which it shapes its viewers’ beliefs, its grip on DEMOCRATS power and the views of its leadership.
There, fixed it
It’s “damaging” that there is any alternative at all to our Leftist corporate groupthink. Nobody should be allowed to question our propaganda ever.
Two idiots talking over each other.
Dangerous to the left; not to America, however.
Yeah, but did you know he concealed carries and is a martial arts master?
“...but now confirmed and with a sense of scale”
Translation - Joe gave us the word to take down Fox.
Has the WaPo investigated Hunter’s computer yet?
It’s the Bump still blathering
Oh, Philip Bump, retard.
maybe they should also look at which of these “news” outlets told us for years that “Russia Collusion” was real, that hundreds if not thousands of various “hate crimes” were real, that Trump was “literally Hitler”, that gays only wanted the right to be married, that there were “weapons of mass destruction” in Iraq, the Covington Kids were “racists”, that the riots of 2020 were “mostly peaceful”, that January 6th was an “insurrection”, and that’s just a very short list of their lies.
I know, FOX was also in on some of these as well, particularly the WMD hype, but CNN, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, NPR, the Times, The Post, were and continue to be up to their eyeballs in these lies.
Agreed....FOX News primetime is our saviour. Watters and Gutfeld, too.
I do believe, however, I could recreate a Hannity radio show(TV too, probably) from past monologues and segments on each and every issue and no one would notice that it was “previously recorded”. Every friggn’ time I pop in I know what speech is coming——word for word. ‘we’re like a newspaper with reporting, opinion, blah, blah...
or , he knows what its like to be poor with all his various jobs, washing dishes, hanging wall paper, ....
or ‘here’s how Joe could stop inflation; restart Keystone, open Alaskan oil ....
or ‘I’m a conservative. I believe in abcdefghi and j......’
or ‘I practice martial arts every day and could knock you out in a second
Sean desperately needs some new thoughts. We’ve heard it all before.
