History repeats itself, even though they already paid out 787 million dollars for lying about Dominion Voting Systems and still has a 2.7 billion pending lawsuit from Smartmatic, and their support was designed to help Trump. But what can they do when the ones who watch their propaganda channel are mostly red hats?
I think they tried to distance themselves from Trump a little after the Dominion case. They covered the various Republican debates well; but now that it seems the Republican candidate will be Trump, they have renewed more coverage of him. I watch both sides and the middle as far as media. The distortions made on most channels of what Trump says requires a balancing media, which is what Rupert Murdoch realized so long ago as the major channels tilted left. To me it is refreshing to hear a candidate in their own words and not 10 second sound bytes with 5 minutes of opinion and a panel following to try to gin up outrage.
Fox was founded as the media wing of the GOP. Now that the GOP has transformed itself into the MAGA Party, it is completely consistent for Fox to transform the Trump channel. In fact, it was completely Magadonian with Donald getting policy from Fox's Hannity and Carlson from 2016-2021.
Fox has mainly been for Trump from the start sadly. Look at the things that Tucker Carlson has said to praise Trump. CNN is a bit too much for the left, while Fox is a bit too much to the right. The best thing to do is to avoid both, and get news from multiple sources.
Agreed. CNN is not as far biased compared to Fox, but my favorite news source is probably the BBC, as their world news stuff is a bit less biased.
I agree about CNN; but it wasn't always that way. During the 2020 election they were heavily behind Biden. Since then they have swung towards the center; but it really depends on the host. Some of them still get that "Who farted?" look on their face every time they say "Trump".
Yeah. CNN keeps on swinging different ways every few years, it is harder to trust them, but I'd trust CNN a 100 miles more so compared to Fox. At least CNN is closer to the center now compared to back in 2020. PBS News Hour has always been center, as far as I could tell, same with the Associated Press.
