Once Fox News was accepted as a legitimate news source, the die was cast.
I watched it ALL the time when it first came out until I figured out I was only getting one side of the story.

We now have a president that is so hated by the left, that he is drawing out the true feelings of the CNN staff. They can't contain themselves, and deniability is no longer plausible.
Yes, Fox hid their bias. They proclaimed themselves 'FAIR AND BALANCED".
CNN thinks they are being politically neutral by having people like Santorum and Lord as part of their regular panels. Yes, it's obvious what Jake Tapper thinks but they allow other voices on there.
Perhaps if Trump hadn't made the media his scapegoat throughout his campaign - his coverage would be a bit more favorable.
I think CNN is owning it now. I've noticed a distinct change in how they comment on things.
You have to know -- that both these networks have news shows but for the most part they have entertainment shows that use the news as their source.
If you can't tell the difference I can see how it would be confusing and upsetting.
I think they are owning it because of ratings. They are selling out. They realize that the almighty dollar outweighs an air of respectability. In some ways it's good. If you are going to be bias anyway, don't try to fool your audience into thinking you are something you are not. In other ways it is sad. There are not many places left to go for unbiased journalism.

We reap what we sow.
Please. "Fair And Balanced"? That was always tongue in cheek. If you didn't get it, that is on you.
Their commentators always referred to themselves as conservative.
I admit that I sometimes watch Fox News. I however watch it solely for the comedy and absurdity aspect to see how far it will go as I consider it parody rather than a news channel. It typically doesn't disappoint in these areas. I can understand why so many of its staffers have have been so uneasy with it and its blatant agenda. With the rampant sexism and aversion to fact, I would not want to work there.
"The Truth" is something that will never be allowed to be expressed on Certainly Not News (CNN)
The Left's hypocrisy is almost funny if it weren't so sad...If anyone objected to Odummy's policies, they would scream Racism but people that work for certainly Now Tnews behead Trump in effigy and call him a piece of sh*t and that's fine with these Liberal Nazi Haters.
I'll just leave this here (note source is not CNN)
President triggered this host with the truth, he can't handle it like Griffin and many other far left out of touch liberals.
We need travel restrictions from third world hellholes that breed terrorism, period. We need tougher vetting procedures for people coming to live here, period. We've already seen what happens when you don't, now try to act responsibly to prevent it and protect your people.
