I like the way you used the word "slanted." That's more appropriate than "Fake" or calling reporters "liars."you probably can't give examples because you don't actually know of any.
OK, I watched CBS Evening News last night. Lead story was Families Brace for Sudden Deportation, implying that the Trump administration was swooping down to deport entire families solely on the basis of one family member not being a legal resident. No mention was made of criminal activity being the principle criterion, nor that this is a continuation of the previous administration's policy.
Also featured was a report on how well armed ISIS has become and how difficult it will be to evict them from Mosul. This is in obvious contrast to how, just prior to the election, Obama had ISIS on the run and "coalition" forces were sweeping through Mosul with little opposition.
This type of slanted news coverage is on display every night on every major network.
Try not to take this wrong, but the media is treating illegal immigrants and their situation like abused puppies. The emotional impact sells the story and pulls in viewers more than the drier, more factual reporting on the details you listed above. We NEVER want to defund PBS, the only station left that isn't 100% chasing the $$$.
