I watch all sources actually. Isn't the saying the truth is somewhere in the middle? I also make my rounds to fringe news groups both Left and Right and also foreign.
95% of people are blinded by the source of their information. Even traveling to foreign countries, there is a hint of truth that we just don't see in America. That said, there is also a clear bias, spin, domestic personal touch that fogs the actuality of typical Americans.
I watched NBC and CBS nightly news for decades. I read Time, Newsweek, the NY Times, Washington Post, LA Times and Boston Globe (depending on where I lived).
During the election I noticed some alarming things. They'd report a Trump speech or rally claiming he said or did horrible things, shocking things. I couldn't believe it so, thanks to youtube, I was able to watch those speeches and events in theirentirety. Usually Trump was misquoted, quoted out of context, used dry humor and you could tell by his body language he was kidding or using hyperbole. The crowds were insulted by the leftist media, if one person made trouble, they'd only show that instead of everyone else having a good time. Trump crowds were better behaved than crowds at most sports events.
The news was and still is censored. Besides,Trump hatred and the hysterical reporting 24/7 is exhausting! I don't know how the Loonies can stand the constant emotional manipulation.
I had never watched Fox News, had heard of Rush Limbaugh but never listened, never heard of Hannity or Laura Ingraham. But in a quest for truth I started watching and listening and haven't gone back to any of the Fake News. The conservative media don't fawn over Trump, they aren't afraid to criticize him. Unlike Left wing media, they also report his accomplishments.
Anyone who watches please explain. They are just low forms of entertainment. The last gasp of a dying industry. You could learn more from E! or Nickelodeon.
I watch CNN because it's the only news channel I get. I don't have cable, satellite or over-the-air channels available. That said, I read a number of different sites.
The main issue is that “news” is no longer about reporting and journalism.
It is about selling you a worldview.
Exactly. As Cronkite said, we aren't here to report facts, but to mold opinions, meaning TELL YOU WHAT TO THINK. The worldview the media is selling you is largely Far Left Progressive except for a very few minor outlets.
