    Then stay on topic instead of derailing with your brilliant off-topic thoughts.

    If CNN (which I hate) is the same as Fox News, please show me the court cases where CNN has argued no reasonable viewer would believe one of their hosts.

    I would definitely agree that Tucker Carlson is to Fox News what Don Lemon is to CNN.

    The report says Fox News, just because the thread title says Tucker doesn’t mean anything to me.
    I’m sorry you’re incapable of discussing tangible topics, I’ll stay in line so as to not disrupt your delicate sensibilities.

    You shouldn't apologize like that for not understanding what you're reading or what the lawsuit is about.

    Have a cookie. :)

    Sorry for offending your “team”, I guess CNN means that much to you.
    Keep up the stereotype though bud, you do you.

    Quit apologizing. So unAmerican...

    You must be seeing red because I quoted you and called it a "sad clown line".

    No, I'm not calling you a sad clown, but you definitely like mashed peas n carrots more than unchewed meat n taters.

    Hey criticize CNN all you want but instead of these platitudes of enlightened centrism, provide some actual nuance or else no one is going to really respect your takes.

    For example, with CNN I can list specific issues with them. They treat politics like a game show. Often they care more about political intrigue and gossip rather than discussing actual policy issues. They are everything you would think a news orginization completely fueled by shareholder interests would look like.

    In terms of bias, I definitely have an issue with people like Chris Coumo inviting his brother who is a governor and a political figure to be so chummy acting as if this is a campaign event praising the governor. It shows a lack of objectivity and is a problem.

    But it doesn't touch the relationship between the actual president of the US and multiple fox news personalities. They are pretty much a part of his campaign. I mean for goodness sakes Trump calls and talks to Sean Hannity every other night.

    You could never upset me, caricatures and stereotypes are just there to laugh at. You’re amusing.

    Of course, I could give specifics but don’t really have the want or energy to. And I never said anything about enlightened, those are your words. I don’t claim to have any heightened perspective on any of it.
    If you can’t look at the news/media objectively and see they are all biased and opinionated then there isn’t much to say, you believe your side is right.
    They are all guilty biased influence over their followers.

    Okay. This seems rather pointless. Yes no one is objective. We know.

    Sounds exactly like the Trump cult believing him even when the facts prove he's lying over and over and over. They are already in the brain washed stage. Truth is fake and Trump's fantasy world is now real to them.

    It is pointless, you did try to be somewhat objective in your post but it still leans towards your political side.
    I am just of the opinion that there is no good media, they all twist facts to appease their viewers and influence opinion. I would just rather have facts (real facts) and formulate my own opinion.
