Fox News slowly but surely changed into the propaganda arm for the alt-right and GOP. They gave up all pretense of being fair or balanced in the last few years.

That's often times the best Trumpers can do when trying to argue with liberals.

You serve up a platter of facts for Trumpers. They quote you, completely ignore the facts you stated (because they can't refute them), and then they go off on some off-topic, random rant. Deflect, deflect, deflect.

That is when you know you've won the argument.

Although, their new slogan is 'Most watched. Most trusted.' Obviously the antipsychotics haven't kicked in yet.
I think they should use most watched, and that is it. Those progressive media watch it too obviously; fox gives them a lot of material to talk about. Without bashing fox, they would be out of job. (example, youngturks)

" Fox News Is Ditching 'Fair & Balanced' as Its Slogan... "

It never made sense.

CNN hasn't done that with Kayleigh, Lord or even Conway. Try again.

MSNBC has really stepped up their programming, especially in the morning.

Fox is getting tired and is simply repurposing the same people with different names for the shows and have lost 3/4 of their leading primetime lineup (Greta, Kelly, O'Reilly) while Hannity has gone full Glenn Beck.

Really?

Oh, that's ridiculous.

Actually, many Dems go on FOX and Dems are commenters. Does CNN do this? Every time I watch CNN they have 5 people with the same viewpoint. Do you actually find this to be an informative way to get both sides viewpoint, by only seeing one?


Things change and the slogan has been around for awhile, updating networks has been around for a long time. I remember NBC replacing the peacock.

No, it really never did.

Everyone knew it was biased. It was no big secret.
