What part of "policy" are you confused about? What part of "a child might have been separated from their parent by mistake" equates to "border agents are actively stripping kids from their parents on purpose, per the orders of the POTUS?"

The problem isn't CNN. The problem is people who can't understand basic facts trying to discuss issues with people who can. It's easy to call CNN fake news when you can't even think your way around facts.

What does "one channel" matter? There is a finite audience pool. Which is why Fox does the best in ratings because they don't have other right wing stations to share with. For your arguement to be valid you would have to show liberals switch between CNN and MSNBC for instance. I doubt that is the case.

Moreover, you left out radio, Why is that?

Never said that. Generally speaking, most people would agree that news is presented with a left wing bias. Obviously fox would be an exception to the rule. Really, I’m trying to help you guys out because I feel that I’m able to comprehend trends pretty well. Trump deserves negative coverage. But when the coverage is overwhelming negative (to the point of 93% on CNN), do you think that helps or hurts the democrats?

I’ve already mentioned radio. You guys are missing the point I’m trying to make. The news, regardless of source (cable, print, social media, etc.), is GENERALLY presented with a left wing basis. Certainly you all must be cognizant of that.

Do Trump supporters think it's healthy that Fox serves as "State TV" for Trump? It's all they know.

Trump got what... 63 million votes. Do you think they all watch Fox News?

That would depend. For instance NYT and WAPO are always labeled as left wing by the right but are not. There opinion page does not make their news reporting biased. In fact, even Bannon would say he would give leads on stories to NYT because he new they would investigate it to the end regardless of where it ended up. Yet conservatives claim NYT is biased. Its a canard.

So? Hillary got 67 million votes. What does that have to do with anything? We're talking about news media. Fox drives a very very right wing, worship Trump platform. There is no other way to say it.

Ok, well I will just leave you with my advice. It doesn’t help Democrats when the news overwhelmingly attacks trump. And yes, I understand that fox is probably the exception. Present stories more favorably and critique the negatives, sure. I don’t think the media has quite learned that lesson yet.

And I will simply say, Trump supporters trying to give "helpful advice" while reluctantly admitting that their own Fox News source is blatantly biased, is not helpful. Trump won by the narrowest of margins and because 35,000 votes over three states didn't go the other way, it does not mean Trump has overwhelming support or even majority support. He won a minority election. Trump supporters will not admit that out loud but perhaps they should at least acknowledge that to themselves. That CNN offers an alternative point of view does not mean they are wrong.
