    Fox News won a court case by 'persuasively' arguing that no 'reasonable viewer' takes Tucker Carlson seriously

    I mean...I agree. Only problem is...the judge assumed that Fox News has reasonable viewers instead of a collective IQ somewhere near 4.

    This changes everything. @KingCheetah will have to re-think his whole life view now.

    Wasn’t that basically the same defense Alex Jones used once?

    Fox News should be required to play a warning before and during Carlson’s show expressing this ruling.

    Fox News, CNN, MSNBC-any media really are all misleading and pander. Not a single one reports accurate information.

    All of them actually report mostly accurately even Fox News. It's how they spin the information that is vastly different between each outlet.

    Literal fake news is mostly seen by right wing sites that base all their revenue on click bait and memes on social media.

    Cherry picked statistics and opinion pieces aren’t accurate information or an accurate representation of all of the information.

    Parts might be facts, but not all of the facts.

    The problem with left wing and right wing types is they believe their “news”. It’s extremely prevalent on both sides.

    Actual quote from my Florida neighbor...

    "If you're looking for a good, unbiased news source try OAN"

    I politely smiled and nodded and now try to avoid talking to him

    @Cohete Rojo may need to re-examine his life after this case.

    So is CNN "left wing" to you?

    Majority of media is liberal leaning imo. There may be extremes on either side.
    CNN is Fox imo

    CNN is as much left as the New York Post is right.

    Both sides false equivalence. It goes something like this... one side airs the President's nonsensical rantings without pointing out the lies and the other side airs the President's nonsensical rantings and then tells you which parts are factually false.

    Pretty standard answer from someone with a political side. Your side is right, when in reality neither side is right.

    This is a common refrain from people who can't accept basic facts and pretend there are two sides to the truth.

    I see you are an enlightened centrist.

    No, there’s one truth and liberal media nor conservative media are speaking that truth. You’re blinded by your bias to that fact.

    Definitely more centrist but not enlightened.

    The sad clown part of this line is that Tucker's segment isn't FN's programming for news. It's as much news as the Daily Show, but you're pretending it's the same as whatever CNN is breaking..

    Mashed peas and mashed carrots vs unchewed unpureed meat n potatoes.

    ALL THE SAME :rolleyes:
