You know that's all in your head, right?

I don't have cable nor do I watch regular OTA channels, if I want information I am more than capable of going out there and finding it on my own, I can look at numerous different sources and then make up my own mind about it without needing CNN to tell me "Orange man bad" or Fox to tell me "Orange man good" ffs people there's a ton of information out there plastered all over the internet, just stop swallowing every single thing the lame stream media shoves down your throat, get off your butts and do some of the leg work yourself, problem solved. You're welcome

It's called punching up. The overwhelming majority of media in the U.S. leans left.

I'm opposed to it because it presents conspiracy as fact and it promotes hate and bigotry.

I am not opposed to it. I disagree with most of it and I don't listen to it. So I really don't care what the shock jocks are babbling about. They are cliches at this point.

They alt-right owns the radio airwaves--how are they 'silenced'?

Anything a prog disagrees with is "hate and bigotry."

Then, the news organization which they've spent a majority of their time bashing, suddenly becomes honest and reputable.
Adjectives don't care what you or I like, the writer does. If a writer uses them then they are inserting opinion. Opinions have no place in news.

1) Nobody is "silenced", you can find your political niche coverage easy. Corporations have found unmet demand with their content which explains the success and dominance of FOX.

2) I find it funny that "Faux News" is an acceptable insult but "Fake News" is some sort of Nazi era attack on the innocent media. lmao.

I’m a Liberal and I don’t care if there are Conservative media. I do think that it is not good for our country overall to have Media that are totally broadcasting to the Right @nd Left. Because that means that for the most part Americans only now here one point of view and that’s what they want to hear. The on,y ones that have benefited from this total split are rich media moguls and politicians

I'm a lefty liberal and I think that conservative media is great. I even listened to Rush Limbaugh daily for many years. I always get information from both sides. Many right-wingers I know only listen to talk radio and watch Fox news, exclusively.

So I declare this thread to be a fail.
