    The thread is about state media
    Which is only in non democracies
    He’s just following everyone else posting corporate media . It’s all the same, tv shows competing for viewership and money

    most of you probably own these companies in your mutual fund

    Corporate media is definitely guilty for peddling their own hypnotic messaging and lying through omission. Liberals are more used to parsing data than Cons and will even spend a minute or two reading the fine print, but they can't complain about things not on their feed...

    Also, while you're fine tuning your sources. Understand there are lies of commission and lies of omission.

    IMO, Con sources seem to do the former more to build a narrative. They understand people track things easier if it's 7 points or less. Fox News commentary has 7 themes they routinely cycle and reinforce. "her emails", "Looters", "Benghazi", "Government Swamp", "Media Lies", "foreign invasion", etc... whether it's 30 minutes or an hour, don't break the 7. If there are 3 breaking topics. Address those, fill in 4 themes. 9 is the max.

    Lib sources are more guilty of the latter, either not to "dilute the message" or offend someone (corporate parent, advertiser, government patron). Lib media gives the aura of "reporting everything", which Trump and Bannon will attest to abusing (to break the 7 rule). Under reporting is a real problem and gives Con media legitimacy if only for weighting and more God awful source sifting.

    I don't know about the biases of international sources, but using those in your "source weighting" is almost necessary if you value facts.
    Reminds me of that ugly spat between O'Reilly and Keith Olberman angered their masters for pulling back the curtain.

    Odd how media trust among political sides shifted quickly in the last 15 years when libs were angry at them for Bush and lying to oversell the War.

    I will be honest... I have no clue about what fox news is claiming President Biden is doing, but if you read their article, the headline claims one thing and the article claims another...

    Biden gives DOJ green light to resume Obama-era 'slush fund' payouts to liberal groups
