Indeed.

In addition, the OP obviously knows nothing about the many instances in which CNN, MSNBC, SeeBS, NBC, et. al. have concocted stories and edited tapes.

If you ask a typical right-winger, chances are he/she truly thought this fake story is real, together with all the other fake stories within their conservative circle.

CNN can't really expect anyone to buy into their sudden conversion to ethical behavior. Liberals/socialists wrote the book on how to avoid ethics by being sanctioned as an official propaganda machine.

Does anyone think it'll finally set in with the alt-right that they are in the minority come Tuesday? How does the Republican Party heal after this? I'm not overly liberal and have voted for Republicans in past elections, but this party is so dysfunctional I can't see them unifying come Wednesday.

If this isn't the pot calling the kettle black I don't know what is.

No, that's lazy think. There are some networks that obviously take it to a whole new level.

Michael Phelps took drugs, Amy Winehouse took drugs; but there is obviously a huge difference in how far they took it.

FOX has shown itself to be fair and balanced when it comes to the news far more so that other news sources. They have stories against Trump and treat (D's) fairly.
CNN & MSNBC for two are running anti-Trump stuff and pro Hillary stuff 24/7 trying to drag her across the finish line before more of her corruption is exposed.
I dont watch FOX News that much anymore, but when I did, they actually ran a news segment in the middle of the day where they didnt talk politics at all.

That is not what "fair and balanced" is. That's simply talking about another topic.

Fair and balanced reporting is to allow both sides to say their peace and then have a reporter/journalist analyze it or show data about that situation.

FOX, at least from what I have watched, doesnt do that. The few Democrats who they have on their shows are Moderates like Joe Manchin or people who havent actually worked in Democratic politics since the 1970's and were low level at that. Those people tend to only be brought on to cover controversial issues or when they 100% already agree with the talking heads of FOX.

Further more, the nightly news commentators are themselves biased(saying they belong to the (C)onservative Party and not the (R) epublican party doesnt make them any less biased). They also dont pretend not to be biased.

I dont get the argument of calling FOX fair and balanced unless you are just as biased.

as for MSNBC, they dont claim to be unbiased.

CNN calling out anyone for fake stories...that's hilarious.

The difference is that they don't "fall" for fake stories, they just flat out make them up....apparently after talking to Hillary's camp in emails back and forth for awhile discussing who is going to say what, what questions will be asked, cut out this paragraph it does't look good, add this in, take out that word and use this world instead - it will make people believe X....this thread is an embarrassing fail for the OP.
