The constant diatribes about Fox News is getting old. CNN and MSNBC are the same way when it comes to the liberal point of view, yet you and others making the fox comments fail to point that out.
So cite the misinformation coming out of CNN? Like any real news outlet, they occasionally make reporting errors where they publish retractions. Unlike Fox News, they don't just make things up. That's the whole disconnect in 2017. The college educated blue part of the country lives in a world of facts. The poorly educated Fox News viewers live in a world of mythology. When faced with facts that contradict the mythology, they chant "Fake News!". We're getting a ton of that in this thread.
The problem in the United States is ignorant people. That's what perpetuates the cycle of poverty.
The thing is , even if Fox were to post anything negative about this administration, it would be underplayed and relegated to off peak viewing. The real function of the fourth estate should be to keep government honest. Not grease the skids for incompetence and failure and lies.
While the MSM is decidedly liberal, there are many outlets that take their responsibility quite seriously. And perform their function admirably. Fox does not! Breitbart does not! Even responsible conservative journalists will not defend either outlet.
Yes, all outlets in the rush to be first and break news, make mistakes. Some actually acknowledge when it happens and should be commended for that. Never heard of Breitbart printing a retraction.

If you don’t see the bias in CNN, you are part of the problem.
There is bias, and then there is completely lack of journalistic integrity approaching propaganda.
I would find it difficult to rationalize state run media in the DPRK, Russia or China by calling it "bias".
I would prefer to see all news outlets hold any politician to the highest standards. I would be amazed to see Fox News even make an attempt to hold this administration to those standards.
To be fair, if they did, their viewers would revolt and smash their Keurigs!
I can't believe the % of people who are in favor of random drug testing. Do they not care at all about the Big Brother state? If you don't trust the government, you sure as h*ll don't want them doing drug testing. This is a perfect example of how we lose our rights. It starts with a maligned group (the homeless, welfare recipients, etc.), then next thing you know, they find other reasons to test more people. How can people not see this? It's classic stepping stones technique. Get people to give up their rights in step by step fashion by dividing them against each other.
i don't trust the gov't and i don't want them in my business. i also don't get a monthly stipend from them.
if i ever needed welfare i'd be fine with taking a drug test to get the money. the premise behind welfare (and im using this to include all forms of govt help- food stamps section 8 etc) is that you can't afford necessities on your own. it seems pretty reasonable to require you not be wasting money on drugs and that you are lucid so you can better yourself and get out of the bad situation you're in.
And it doesn't always work, or for whatever reason people, yes even rich people, occasionally have unprotected sex, that is how real life works whether you like it or not is irrelevant.
why do people like you always try to use the exception to prove the rule?
it's like when someone says a fat person could have some bad lucky thyroid condition. while true 99+ pct of the time when you're fat it's your own fault.
poor people don't have some sort of disproportionate bad luck when it comes to birth control failing when used properly. and if anything poor people and ANYONE not ready to be a parent should be extra careful with regards to making sure it's used properly.

There is little difference between CNN/MSNBC and Fox. Media has stopped reporting the news and presents in a way as to how they want you to think. Having any kind of bias as a news orginization means a complete lack of integrity.

So you were home schooled? You never drive on public roads? Unless you are a survivalist living in the boonies off the grid, you're enjoying the benefits of living in a social democracy.

Wow! Really?
Other than Fox and the nutty right wing conspiracy web sites, everybody else is out there fact checking the steady stream of lies coming out of Washington DC. For example, here's the New York Times recent collection on Trump.
That is not fully answering the question. What specifically is a “fair share”. Quantify it for us.
You want specific numbers in respect of general conditions and circumstances. The flaws here are in your questions, not in my answers.
