I think I see the problem.

It's all about money, folks. Fox News is decidedly right because someone recognized that, that particular demographic was underserved and it was a way to make money. Trust me, if the situation was reversed when Fox News started up, they would be a liberal news network.

2006:

"To call them a political odd couple would be a rash understatement. Conservative media mogul Rupert Murdoch will host a fundraiser for liberal New York Sen. Hillary Clinton, the Financial Times reports. The mating ritual of the unlikely allies has been under way for months. Clinton set political tongues to wagging last month by attending a Washington party celebrating the 10th anniversary of Fox News, the cable news channel owned by Murdoch."

All networks except Fox are full on attack of Trump....which is no different than 2008 & 2012....news networks today are a wing of the Democratic establishment. You can tell also some Fox show hosts, Meghan Kelly for example, are anti-Trump.

I've seen it time and time again where money has corrupted people morally.

First, Hannity IS NOT a NEWS show.

I note you complain about him.

How about the alphabet media and THEIR coverage, or lack thereof?

We are NOW seeing film about the dem protestors trying to break down the fence and burning the American flag.

Why DIDN'T we see that DURING the dem convention.

They sure showed the repub protestors a lot, with NO VIOLENCE

When the "news" show anchors, which are paid "millions" show an outright bias we don't hear much about it.

The "news" is NOT supposed to be bias at all.

All we hear from the left is "Hannity" said this and Hannity said that.

Again, he is NOT a news show.

You are correct. My approach is to go to an Internet news compilation, read a bunch of articles on an event or topic, including foreign sources, then "average" the reports to try to ferret out the facts.

It is interesting that when you play connect the dots with Hillary, it always turns out that there is "stench" involved.
and people like to talk about FOX. At least FOX had some democrat contributors, regulars and even some true libs. The only thing worse than CNN is MSNBC.

My guess is that Morning Joe with MSNBC might actually like Trump more than he's putting on.

However, the DNC has likely made it clear nothing positive even in the slightest is to uttered about Trump.

And Joe wants to keep his job so he gets with the program.

CNN, had Anderson Cooper hosting the show which he is a NEWS ANCHOR and he was stacking both tables of people more for Hillary and just 1 for Trump which is Lords.

then you had Wolf and Dana 2 news anchors popping out the champagne and dancing on the floor after Hillary's speech........I never seen that in any other channel but I could be wrong.
Saying that over and over again... it looks like you are jealous.

Not true. He's gone back and forth and once upon a time he liked Trump, but Joe loves the republican party more. This is not an act, and he does not have to worry about his job.

"...In the wake of Thursday night’s Democratic National Convention speeches — in which Trump was completely savaged from every angle — Scarborough told Republicans on Friday that the time has come to start rescinding their Trump endorsements..."

"...While it would be difficult to explain to their constituents why they’re un-endorsing Trump, Scarborough urged them to simply tell them the truth and explain that he’s unfit for office..."

Morning Joe begs Republicans to rescind their Trump endorsements: ‘You’ve got to cut him loose’
