Wouldn't it be refreshing if the news was separate from opinion as it seemed years ago. In the 70's/80's it seemed like there was news and there was opinion, they were distinct and separate. Over time its morphed into what we have today where you can't tell fact from fiction which necessitates you not believe any of it. Much of the time you can't even trust the fact checkers, what have we done?

As far as some making fun of new yorker's admit it, they've earned a little fun pokin.

Was that the tv network that was fined for purposefully lying about the news to increase their ratings?

No, that was Fox that was fined heavily for not reporting truthfully on election results and those voting machines.

I do flip on MSNBC once in a while but they are a bit over the top in some of the opinions held by their journalists. But I prefer CNN and the regular CBS news stations but do check out NBC and ABC on occasion for the national news.

Entertainment posing as news is how I would describe FOX and some of the MSNBC "news" shows.

Totally unbiased, I'm sure

Fox and MSNBC are not lying, what they are doing is delivering what their audience want to hear, even if it's not based on facts. I watch two news programs, ABC at 6:30pm simply because it flows into Jeopardy. The other is PBS which delivers both sides and does not rely on ratings or commercials. That freeing them to put forward news not propaganda.

I watch FOX news for accurate information. There is a reason they are number one in watched news.
