Yeah, that low down sorry witch tried to destroy a teenaged boys life, all over lies. I believe he sued her individually...I sure hope he wins and puts a serious hurt on her.

We'll have to agree to disagree. You clearly have a strong opinion on the topic but as of yet haven't provided anything but that to support the claim.

You are assuming that a story that is *popular* on FOX would be equally popular on CNN and would help their ratings. I'm pointing out that the audience for those two are quite different and thus a story about say....the illegal murderer from Iowa would not be as popular with one audience as another.

When I was in high school in the 70's (this was before the internet), we learned all media is biased. We had homework where we had to take a news article from the papers or magazine and analyze it for bias. The word choice, the phrasing, the suggestions. As I remember, we were not taught that bias is bad or unusual. We were taught it is normal, but being unaware of it is the bad thing. I don't know if schools still teach critical reading.

There is bias and then there is disreputable reporting. AP is now biased left but still reputable. The NY Times and Washington Post, however, now outright lie and are in disrepute

Do you ever read your own links?

This year in particular, people who had been obsessed with politics and COVID-19 in 2020 are likely seeking a break. A big chunk of the cable news audience has drifted away for the same reason.

it seems like the line between news and entertainment is getting blurred. News shows all now have a slant it seems.

I want information and it seems like straight down the line journalism is dying. Stores don't appear to be vetted especially if it fits the acceptable news room narratives.

True. But NY Times wasn't like this back in the 70's. It used to be left leaning reputable. Now it is joke.
