Fox reports the news with a hard bias to the right. The fact such bias exists is a given. But the way in which they apply that bias is still just in the way they report the news. Correct me if I'm wrong (I don't watch much of either network), but Fox is not really out there trying to create news.

CNN also reports news and with a bias to the left. But I feel they go above and beyond merely reporting the news in that they actually attempt to create their own news about their political enemies. Just look at their stance towards Trump. In this way, I feel as if CNN view themselves as political operatives and not just reporters, whereas Fox, biased as they are, are more concerned with reporting the news from a conservative standpoint.

CNN are much more activist. While Fox is a useful tool of the Relublican Party, there's a line of separation there I feel. CNN and the Democratic Party are officially sworn allies and all Chinese walls are virtually non-existent anymore.

Not gonna argue your perception of CNN, but if you think segments of Fox News were not activist against Obama then I don't know what to tell you.

There is no line of separation, they carry trump's agenda full throttle.

What FoxNews is better at is spinning shite. CNN comes off incompetent on the spin factor.

Okay.

I know Trump does not necessarily equal Right but that is how the political landscape is aligned right now. That is, if you are reporting against Trump you are more than likely reporting against the Right.

A recent Harvard study indicates a 52% negative reporting toward Trump for Fox News and 93% negative reporting by CNN. So Fox News is actually pretty "fair and balanced" according to this study and pretty centrist...not hard right.

I think FOX brings in some pretty good counter left leaning talent...not all the time but a lot of the time.

That's the difference to me, FOX invites people that can BTFO out of them in a debate and challenge my biased beliefs.

The others are just echo chambers.

Fox gets the hard news right a high percentage of the time. But from a journalistic standpoint, they also fall way short of the neutral ideal in certain time slots. Fox and Friends can at times be a CNN-like, but from the right. Shepherd Smith interjects with his liberal lunacy almost daily like he thinks he has an opinion show. The 5 pm Bret Baer hour is the best hard news on television. And of course the opinion hours from 9-11 are just standard Conservative opinion-based shows and not objective journalism..

Not really interested in getting into a pissing match on which one said worse things about the sitting president. My point spoke for itself.

CNN will retract when necessary and will fire people for fricking up.

Not so much for Fox News.

CNN will cut the feed to your live interview if they do not like what youre saying.

Would/Will FOX do that?

Fox produces their news like news and their entertainment like entertainment.

Their news reports are fairly straightforward and guys like Wallace and Baier are very well respected. Their entertainment personalities are big, boisterous like radio shock jocks - always fighting or joking and with plenty of eye candy.

Even at their worst moments during the Obama years, I never saw Fox News pull a CNN/MSNBC and report news as being bad or wrong for America. At the very least they'd report, then toss to an analyst to do that.

It's like there's no distinction between the hard news and the op-ed on CNN, because they don't have anyone particularly credible reporting and no one particularly entertaining to bloviate. Am I supposed to laugh at Anderson Cooper or cheer/boo at something he says? If not, then why is he offering his milquetoast opinion out there?

There is a difference between 'spin' and 'fabrication.'
