I don't know why but I feel like the fox shows are OK with being opinion based news and heavy right leaning.

I do know that CNN pretends to be neutral and unbiased when they are most definitely not. See the sad face pick when the Toddy favorite, Ossoff, lost.

Fox was incredibly unwatchable at times during the past 8 years. They didn't stoop to making shite up or threatening meme-makers, but Barry couldn't even tie his shoes without Fox assembling a panel to discuss how un-American his knot was.

Their saving grace is that Obama IS in fact un-American.

Fox News is soap opera garbage that can't really pass for news















And it's a thousand times better than CNN

Fox has Special Report which actually does a good job of reporting news. Now I know their All Star Panel is opinion but they always seem to have a panelist from the center left, center and center right.

On a side note I always value Krauthammer's opinion. It's always backed with logic and data. However in the age of Trump, for a man's opinions that I do respect, he has never been so wrong recently (the past 18 months). His opinions make logical sense but they seemed to be based on mostly limited data or mischaracterized data.

Don't forget Gumbo, that was all about attempting to get their sausage smoked on company time.

Greta's problem was, she wasn't Andrea Tantaros. The camp cooks didn't want to use her smoker.

Shepherd Smith interjects with his liberal lunacy almost daily like he thinks he has an opinion show.

When did this start?

For a long time I would use Shep as an example of a good journalist = not allowing his biases, in any, in his reporting.

Sometime in the past 2 years that changed, and now I find it hard to watch him - possibly because he is such a disappointment.

AMEN - the one show I try never to miss.

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


You are wrong. The news shows on Fox actually report the news as news. Their pundit shows of which they have many does have a right bias but they generally have at least one person form the left on their shows.

CNN does not report the news anymore. Every show they have is pundit reported "news"


CNN also does not admit that any of their pundits are liberal/leftists even though everyone of them are.

Fox doesn't hide the fact that their pundits are right leaning.

Roger and Bill weren't fired because of reporting. They were given large settlements to leave for alleged sexstuff/harrassment. Greta left on her own.

Shep just opened his show with editorializing. I agree with him, but editorializing nonetheless.

He's a never Trumper. I will give him this though, he makes no excuses for it and states it right up front.

Shep is right now all in with Muh Russians. Total editorializing. This is after editorializing in his first segment on German protests. It's pretty much non stop now.

Do you think that Seth Rich bullshite FOX was pushing a few weeks ago would fly on CNN?

CNN has fired people for less.

both suck but CNN takes the suckage to another level. They pathetically obsess over shite, try to create "news" and will flat out lie if they think it will push their agenda. They don't hide the fact that they are an arm for the leftists. I thought they would have learned a lesson when they got exposed for being the Clinton News Network but instead, those regressive retards doubled down.

I like Baer. He is solid. I also like Chris Wallace. They are slanted but not over the top and I'm OK with that.

The only person on CNN I can stomach is John King.

They've been doing this a lot, lately.

ETA
But as to your point, of course you forget those who were fired at FOX.
