For those that use the term “Faux News”

I know you are but what am I

Hannity does lack objectivity but as he has said hundreds of times... he is not a news reporter and makes no claim to be one. He is a commentator. So is just about every person on CNN and MSNBC but they claim to be objective reporters which they are clearly not.

I expect Hannity will be #1 on the list, and I think it is reasonable to say he lacks objectivity.

Hannity openly admits that he is not a journalist. Why do people have such a hard time understanding the distinction? Fake news is coming from fake journalists, not opinion guys like Hannity, Levin, Rush, etc.

What if we ONLY talk about the hard news coverage?

It's lacking on almost every network, to be honest.

I don't really care to tell you that MSNBC's hard news coverage is better than Fox's, and I'm not sure I know how it compares, honestly.

If I had to guess, I'd say Fox is better than MSNBC and may now be a little ahead of CNN, but again, it's rare to find hard news not infected with cable editorializing. Plus, it's hard to spot sometimes. A "bombshell" in the Russia investigation on CNN may not get reported on Fox at all, or if it is, it is probably presented as part of a hard news story about whether or not Mueller is abusing his powers or something similar.

Similarly, stuff about the "memo" on CNN I'm sure is presented in the context of a Republican attempt to push back at the ongoing investigation of Trump, etc.

I'll push back against liberals who bizarrely claim that Fox is biased but CNN/MSNBC are less biased. But otherwise, I think it's futile to try and rank three extremely biased and overall, shitty, cable news networks.

Literally everything you just posted is proof of fake news on the other side

And sexual harassment? Yeah it's not like anyone at any other major network has been accused of that recently

Also stay tuned for wire tapping

and his name was most definitely Seth Rich

Does it really matter though?

When Hannity is pushing Seth Rich and people buy into that, why does it make a difference that he calls himself a pundit?

You are too smart to not know the answer to that question.

I personally turned it all off a few months ago. I cut the cable. I do still listen to talk radio, however.

I don't think there is an answer. It largely doesn't matter.

If people cease to care about the distinction between journalist and pundit, why does it matter if pundits caveat their bullshite by noting that they're not journalists?
