A primer for the conseravtive snowflakes.
Journalists aren't supposed to be 'fair and balanced' for 'fair and balanced'd' sake. This is a fake meme that Faux News has been putting out since they began. Hence Faux is not news or journalism, it is heavily biased opinion and qualifies that channel as the propaganda outlet for the Republican party. They aren't news.
Real journalists are tasked with opposing power and speaking truth to power. We have a steaming turd in the White House so their job is never ending. And CNN isn't alone in its opposition to this Kim Jong Un wannabe Trump.
They're duty is to expose and oppose him on every illegal and immoral thing he does. Don't like it?
Then turn over to the Republican propaganda network at Faux and melt into your easy chair listening to words that you need desperately to hear. They are lies, but soothing lies so get your pillow and blanky and find your bliss.
Liberal News spawned Fox. It was the logical response to news that was totally Liberal, totally one sided. I miss the days when National News actually "Spanned The Globe" to bring insight on a changing world. Even within the US there are so many issues being ignored while our so called "News", Fox or otherwise gives us the view through the soda straw of biased politics.
The major news networks grew naturally out of the culture. Faux News was created specifically to be a propaganda outlet for the Republican political party.
The false equivalency that conservatives LOVE to argue on every issue is nonsense. It is a big lie. The normal news networks like ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, HLN actually report news. Researched by journalists. Opinion shows are scarce on network news channels and a little more numerous on cable channels.
Faux News has nonstop opinion shows to tell the gullible viewers how to think. They sprinkle in some weather and a few other stories so they can keep the illusion of being a news channel. They aren't.
Republicans have a whole new gaggle of gods they bow to regularly. The false equivalency is one of their favorites. The never ending 'ad absurdem' is another they kneel to. It would be easier to just accept reality but why do that when you can be outraged every minute by Faux News or some con-radio talk show assbag.
