Fox is #1 rated and can afford a big law suit hit. #1 means they must be doing something right. I do believe cnn rated the lowest would have to close up shop if they were hit with any type of law suit like that. I do not watch either.

[GoRedSox!]

The greatest fiction in the news media today is about the “mainstream media” and how liberal it is. That notion is a pure myth, but it plays like David vs. Goliath situation, and so it is perpetuated.

Fox News is as much a part of the mainstream media as any other. It’s been around for almost 30 years, and has led cable ratings for over 20 consecutive years. Their audience is roughly equal to, and in some years bigger than, CNN and MSNBC combined. Fox News is the cable news Goliath, not vice-versa. And while much smaller, Newmax and OAN are out there for those who are even farther to the right of Sean Hannity and Jesse Watters.

Add to that the dominance of online media (Fox News, Breitbart, Epoch Times, Daily Caller, Washington Examiner, and many others). The left does not approach this in online unique visitors.

The place where conservative media absolutely dominates is talk radio. Rush Limbaugh was the king while he was living, but talk radio is still dominated by the right. There are many right wing talk radio programs, but you would be hard pressed to find any on the left at all.

And then you have podcasts, again dominated by conservatives starting with Joe Rogan. The left has some, but they are not in the same league.

The one part of the media that is totally dominated by the left is the newspapers. But readership continues to plummet and hundreds of newspapers close each year.

I am not putting this post up to take sides. I recognize a right or left bias when I see or hear it and most of the media is not straight down the middle. But the notion that conservatives are the little guy fighting this gigantic left wing mainstream media is false. Conservative media is bigger in totality, make far higher profits, and they are certainly just as much a part of the “mainstream media” as all other media.

Some may not believe this, but ask yourself how DJT media’s new stock, even after the price decline, values his media organization at $4 billion even though they reported revenue of only $4 million last year and lost tens of millions of dollars.

There's a reason for those ratings disparities...

For the longest time, only FOX leaned a certain way, while EVERYBODY ELSE leaned the other way. There was a plethora of choices.

Of course it made sense that Fox's ratings were much higher... It was the only game in town for many, many people...

To me it's not much better than Newsmax, Breitbart, or MSNBC.

If I want to read about actual news I usually check with Reuters or Associated Press, and I check with CSPAN for live government streaming every so often. If I want to see something live that isn't something going on in the government, ABC and CBS usually have a stream going online.

I don't watch normal TV at all.

Unfortunately, Associated Press has gone woke. Notice how many stories written by AP in the local paper us "They" or "Their" in place of "Him" or "Her" or "His" or "Hers".

You do realize that that has been thoroughly debunked, haven't you?

Yes, all the "real" (cough) news outlets immediately jumped on that bandwagon. But they were all wrong.

The UV light comment was factually correct. It has been used in lung infections for some time.

And he NEVER said to inject bleach. Period, Full Stop.

April 23, 2020, live on CSPAN2, a press briefing. He used the word "disinfectant." But yes he did suggest that Deborah Birx would be looking into the possibility of injecting disinfectant into the body to "cleanse" the COVID.

It absolutely happened, and you can check the CSPAN2 archives for the press briefing in full.

Does it make you suddenly incapable of understanding what they're referring to? If not, then why does it matter? Are they causing you to lose your job, your home? Have you been kicked out of any restaurants? Been arrested? How has "they" harmed you? Maybe show us on the dolly so we can be clear.

The tl;dr version of the above:

People who watch news "shows" believe what they are instructed to believe. The belief depends 100% on who is doing the instructing.

It's why I refuse to watch news "shows."

There are many disinfectants such as hydrogen peroxide and alcohol to name a couple. But the media had to latch on to bleach as though it was the only one. They're either totally ignorant or completely biased.
