Good poll results. I'm glad to see people questioning the narrative.

I would not trust Fox for the time of day. They are motivated more than any other to spin the news. The others have lesser problems in that regard but Fox was bad from the get go. The primary motivation is to sell advertising and they do media surveys to decide how to pitch their slanted views to keep an audience and sponsors.

However, if you would go to the link I provided, you'd understand what I was talking about, but you probably agree with burning buildings (ppppssstttttt, behind the guy doing the news) and generally unruly night, don't worry about the burning building behind me....
You mean where he says " fires have been started"?

I do agree that MSNBC is biased, which is why I never-ever watch them. Not as bad as FOX, but bad enough to be on my black-list. I put on CNN while waiting the the Heat game to start and it looks like that anchor is going to fall asleep on live TV. She does not look well at all.

So, you agree that burning buildings would be considered "generally unruly night" that's not just a shrub on fire, that's a building.....

I have waited 50 years for them to get the weather right and I am still waiting so do not even get me started on trusting them with the news!

The media can't be trusted for anything. No one has the balls these days to call a spade a spade. Don't want to upset a certain side of folks.

They do not care about the the truth, and simply call it entertainment.
But if lies are all they can come up with, like the Chinese say, "why do you watch government propaganda?"
