Fox - biased media --- YES of course - Hannity, Pirro, Napolitano, Carlson. They work for Trump. That's where Trump gets his pool of advisors. Ask Bill Shine.
But 'news'? No way anything that comes out of those people is news. It is propaganda and lies. Fox & Friends is Trump's little fairy godmothers--make him look good, no hard questions and lots of fawning drool.
Got the expected hypocrisy from the righties. They rail against media bias and then defend it when it suits them.
The difference is, that most “righties” KNOW that their “journalists” are biased.
Lefties are often in denial about the bias coming from their news sources. They want so desperately to believe that their reality is the true reality.
Trump has drawn these “news sources” out into the light, so I think only the leftest of lefties can still ignore the bias of their own news sources. Their bubble has been shattered. There are no truly trusted news sources anymore.
Are Sean Hannity and Jeanine Piro the best examples of the biased news media that many on the right are always railing against? Many feel they can perceive a media bias in how members of news organization portray issues and politicians. In this case, we have media persons that work for the supposedly most watched news network in the nation out on the campaign stump appearing on stage at rallies with politicians and advocating for how people vote.
Wait....I thought they weren't considered to be part of the "news media." Make up your minds, people.
The FACT is, both Hannity and Pirro host conservative gab programs, and neither one is part of the "news media."
But since you're looking fot the best examples of a biased news media, allow me:
That'd be George Stephanopoulos, Hillary supporter/campaign donor, and news anchor and political correspondent, found to be so biased in that capacity Because of those things that he was booted from covering the election--until he was allowed back in.
Then there's Donna Brazile,ABC news contributor and political "expert," called upon (unlike Hannity and Pirro, BTW) to pontificate on every Sunday Morning public affairs program. Apparently, you've forgotten how she fed town hall "debate" questions to Hillary.
Yeah, those would be my two, right off the top of my head.

That's not actually what is happening. The thread is nothing more than an effort to discredit those who have a different view/opinion than the OP. Hannity has thrived and survived on Fox for more than 20 years.
Picking Hannity & Pirro who have been tested by fire over a long time and survived assault after assault by the left is not the low hanging fruit. The left went after their advertisers too and failed.
No leftwing nutter on a message board is likely to do them any damage but could gain them more fans among newer, younger conservatives that may not be as familiar with them.

The OP isn't 'picking Hannity and Pirro'. Hannity and Pirro went up onstage last night and openly and unapologetically campaigned for Trump. The thread is about them because of their brazen and open bias. They're not even attempting to pretend to be unbiased any more.
There's no 'discrediting' going on on the part of the OP - Hannity and Pirro managed that all on their own last night.
Fox should just rename itself 'Trumps Propoganda machine' and have done with it.
