As an immigrant to USA who used to watch CNN, I’m now convinced that Fox News is more accurate than CNN, even if they’re both propaganda to various degrees.

both are shit. fox is just slightly less shitty, but that's like saying eating a small plate of cat shit is less awful than eating a giant plate full of horse shit. in the end, you're still eating shit.

Fox is only slightly more accurate because its trying to be controlled opposition to people who are on the opposite side of the rest of the news orgs.

Which means that they accidentally are truthful at times by sheer virtue of how wrong the opposites are.

Fox News used to be awesome, but this was 20 years ago.

Fox News was shilling for the Iraq War 20 years ago. I have no idea how Fox News might have been in the 1990s though, I never heard of Fox News until the 2000s.

Fox News didn’t exist until around 2000.

Fox News launched on October 7th, 1996

I wouldn’t go so far as to say awesome, but definitely way less bad.

Let’s dig in:

It is often a purveyor of propaganda and misinformation. What it’s not is a source of “news” — at least not by any normal definition.

According to Broockman and Kalla, when these Fox viewers watched CNN, they heard about all sorts of things Fox wasn’t telling them. They processed that information. They took it in. They became more knowledgeable about what was really going on in the United States. The experiment didn’t change their political preferences — certainly not in just one month. But it slightly altered their perceptions of certain key issues and political candidates.

Soooo you didn’t actually vet or verify that anything Fox News said was false, or that anything CNN said was true.

The study authors differentiated between “traditionally emphasized forms of media influence,” like agenda setting and framing, and what they call “partisan coverage filtering”: the choice to selectively report information about selective topics, based on what’s favorable to the network’s partisan side, and ignore everything else.

Two words: Horse Paste

By contrast, Fox News spent 15,236 words discussing “Biden/Democrats support for extreme racial ideology/protests,” to CNN’s 1,300. The study found that the CNN-watching group was “much more likely to see issues covered on CNN (COVID-19) instead of on Fox News (racial protests) as important.” The group also “became more likely to agree that if Donald Trump made a mistake, Fox News would not cover it.”

What does this prove? You just openly showed that CNN won’t touch actual issues.

It all boils down to this one line:

not is a source of “news” — at least not by any normal definition

The left simply redefines words to suit their agenda: news, democracy, vaccine, fact checker, independent, insurrection, peaceful, woman, science and so on and so forth.

A new study suggests Fox News viewers aren’t just manipulated and misinformed — they are literally being made ignorant by their consumption habit.

A majority of Democrats believe that 50% of people who get Covid are hospitalized. I wonder who gave them that idea....

All 24-hour news channels are propaganda. There's not enough real news to fill one of them, much less the dozens that exist.
