Is Fox News Any Different?

It's pretty commonplace for CNN and MSNBC to get blasted on here for reporting "fake news," but what is the opinion on Fox News? It seems to me they have misrepresented the truth as much as any other network over the years. I don't watch very much infotainment, but I always hear cries from both sides of the aisle about the ridiculous reporting done by the opposition, and I've done my own research on media bias. I guess I'm really just perplexed why anyone would trust anything reported on the infotainment networks, regardless of the bias they portray.

Was that Fox News that was caught 3 times last week reporting fake news?

Fox News tried to end Trump about 35 different times during the nomination process

Fox News sucks, but CNN and MSNBC, in the past two years or so, have gone into a different stratosphere.

No it’s not

I hate CNN as much as anyone, but what makes Fox News different? It's the most watched network and have done some pretty shady reporting over the years. I guess I just don't understand the uproar over Trump's negative coverage when Fox News did very similar stuff throughout Obama's tenure. I'm not taking sides in this. I don't trust network TV at all.

I don't really watch much of their programming. The only things I consistently watch are Tucker, The Greg Gutfeld show, and Media Buzz.

I don't see them "making up" news like some other media. They might get wrong what is reported to them and FOX then turns around and reports it but they don't instigate fake news like CNN and MSNBC do.

Wrong, you are confusing the opinion shows with the news shows. Fox News never reported that there was any evidence that people were going to go to jail if they don't have insurance nor did they report that Obama was a Kenyan.

All TV networks report stories without proper vetting. It's how they rile people up, increase viewership, and make money.

This sounds similar to "if o-care is repealed, millions will die!". In reality, they all suck. I just feel that Fox News sucks less than the CNN/MSNBC's.

I stopped watching Fox during the election and have not returned. The news agency no longer has my patronage.
That said, I still don't think they rise to the level of CNN in blatantly misleading viewers.
One is worse than the other, far worse, but I don't trust any of them completely.

I don't recall Fox being big on the birther stuff outside of Hannity.

Every news outlet sucks equally, has an agenda, and is generally not worth watching
