Saying CNN isnt left and Fox isnt right... LOL. Turning a blind eye to reality. Everyone knows there is no media source down the middle. Maybe CSPAN.

I didn’t say Fox wasn’t Right. I said that they aren’t OPPOSITE ENDS of the spectrum, and that neither of them is even on an END of the spectrum.

So, basically what I said then?

and Fox is on the furthest Right if

1) you only use those listed news sources
And
2) You group anything to the Right of the WSJ Editorial Board together in one lump... which doesn’t tell the whole story.

May I submit into evidence: OANN

CNN used to be a good enough news station but it's pretty bad now. It isn't "on the left," it's rather (somewhat cartoonishly) "oppositional" to the Trump administration, which means they're focused on him and only him except at times of pandemic. This, after having provided Trump with so much coverage and free airtime during the 2016 campaign. Yecch.

The issue with thw above is it does not take into consideration the sources or how factual the ”information” is.
You can always pick news items that are positive for one side or the other (the political slant), but yet still report facts or make it obvious it’s an opinion, not fact.

No, you can’t.

Yeah that’s what I was worried about.

CNN and Fox aren’t even close to being “opposite ends”, mate.

Never mind CNN not being far Left, Christ, Fox (depressingly) aren’t even on the furthest Right end these days.

Also, saying Fox “lean” right gives them an undue level of credibility

I think it all depends on how you see it some would say cnn are right and fox is further right. Hitler would probably say they both lean left. Or are centrists. They are all wings of capitalism anyway.

TBF Bernie only did half the work, the absurd state of modern capitalism did the rest.
