I like how right-wingers can recognize hyperbole and sensationalism in this story, but think Fox News and Alex Jones are completely legit.

Sensationalism and hyperbole have been part of journalism since journalism became a thing and it's not limited to left-leaning publications.

ETA- most of what's watched on Fox News is not news, but news-based opinion and editorial. Read AP and Reuters and stay away from the idiots trying to scare you.

I'm sure you aren't really dumb, but the nonsense you typed above kinda makes it look that way.

1. hyperbole and sensationalism are long-standing aspects of news, HOWEVER, injecting a left-wing agenda-item into the article IS NOT the same thing, and not even all that close.

2. bringing up Alex Jones in a compare/contrast argument alongside NBC News is something you should hope no entity ever uses to measure your IQ. Good god, man!

3. most conservatives and many "right-wingers" disavow Alex Jones. I think he is about 95% dipshit.

4. The FoxNews argument is rather nuanced. Their many ADMITTEDLY opinion shows should not be confused with their newscasts. Libs like to ignore that.

5. Fox's newscasts do lean right, but barely. They only look that way because of the remainder of the 97% of the media that leans SO far left.
