Question about FOX news

[ChadT41]

Unfortunately, I trust news on Facebook more than any of the mainstream folks. If something in particular catches my eye, I run with it, looking at all sources on a websearch.

Why did I even open this thread.

Just change your name to Pandora.

Yeah, everything is Breaking News now. It's aggravating, because usually, there's nothing "Breaking" about it

You mean it's broken?

Problem is most fox news viewers are watching thinking that they are watching hard hitting journalists who are reporting facts. The reality is fox news is in the entertainment business and should be viewed as such. And no this is not a political statement either before you all get your panties in a wad. Roger Ailes said it himself. I dont care about any of the three main 24 hour news channels

That’s not political at all. Honestly. There is a reason it is called InfoTainment.

With the exception of two shows on the network, One America News Network is the only news network I've seen that doesn't include opinion, just straight-up news.

Journalism shouldn't necessarily be free of opinion, as long as that opinion is built on reliable information and involves critical thinking. Most of the opinion shows on the big cable news networks fail to meet these requirements from what I've seen, and far too many of them involve multiple people yelling at each other. From what I've seen of OAN at my parents' house, they are not without a slant to their reporting, but I don't necessarily have a problem with that as long as it is sane. As you mention, they do have a couple of opinion shows which are just as bad as anything else.

Which is why I listen to POTUS on SiriusXM. It has a right wing slant, but not unreasonably and reports more news than you get from the big three

I’ll look at it later. But I’ve looked at “fact check” websites before and actually I found them to be very biased themselves, take things out of context, etc... I haven’t found one yet that doesn’t have a left leaning slant.

As soon as I saw the thread title I knew it would end up there sooner or later.
