Yes it's important that people get their propaganda from the 'correct' outlets
do you homework man, if you believe CBC/CNN/MSNBC is anything like Fox News, you are the exact person Rupert Murdoch wanted to appeal to. Fox News is officially listed as entertainment Vs actually news reporting.
I guess ignorance is bliss......

And if you believe that the outlets you list are completely impartial, you're woefully ignorant.
People are polarized-->people report the news-->the news is polarized-->people watch the news-->people are polarized....

You are hilarious, anyone who defends Fox News as a meaningful news outlet is completely oblivious to facts
Yeah, CBC/CNN/MSNBC are impartial, they care about human rights, rule of law, and facts. What does Fox News spout? Like I said early, Fox News was made for "People like you"lol!!!

Your automatic assumption of a false dichotomy exemplifies my point.
Thank you

CBC is just the polar opposite of Fox News. No better with their constant spewing of liberal propaganda they pass off as opinion pieces.
It’s pretty fucked actually that a publicly funded corp like CBC can be so heavily biased in practically all their programming. But as usual people just accept it and worry about the smaller issues

comparing US entertainment news to news outlets of any other country is odd
cnn/fox are bother for profit entertainment "news" networks
just like whatever that Canadian right wing attempt at a "news" channel is too, for entertainment, the one with shills like ezra levant, think their network went bust (cant remember the name)
cbc, bbc, npr, etc will be your legitimate, not for entertainment, leaning news sources, but that doesn't men they don't have their biases also
What would constitute a non-biased news in anyone's eyes nowadays though? AS soon as the news says something that doesn't support the version of events that an individual believes to be true, they just call it propaganda or fake news.
I could go on the screen with my face blocked out (so you don't have any preconceived notions of my race and to make me impartial) and just monotone read facts... but half the people would agree and half would say my facts came from a skewed source.
Gone are the days where you can change anyone's mind with a rational presentation of known facts.................

^ what is your point then? why don't you response to question instead......
He didn't defend Fox News as a valid source of news. He simply said that EVERY news outlet (including CBC) has their bent and biases. That is so damn simple ... what don't you get about that? If that line of reasoning has to be explained to you ... oh man!
What is a non-biased news source ... none .. period.
Sure, every news outlet has some bias, so what....CNN try to provide POVs from both sides, MSNBC more liberal, Fox news is complete propaganda with no essence of the facts

I agree Fox news construes or simply does not present facts.
However.......... CNN can be very biased. I read CNN more than most other news, and sometimes I roll my eyes.
They're pretty good and they CAN be very good/objective......... but they just can't help themselves sometimes from overindulging on the liberal side of things.
i think media bias is not just about being centerist, it's more about whether you accept money from advertisers, corporate underwriters, or government funding.
CNN is not unbiased at all. they may not be as fake news as Fox, but they are certainly biased, and their business model right now is to divide the left and right as far as possible because trump is good for business.

If you are trying to defend Fox's news, you are completely delusional to "facts"....I get it, you want to hear what you want to hear regardless of fact based news reporting......
Okay
I'll need you to read the second part of what you wrote, then read the first part and then read the second part again
Where was my post even indicative I was trying to defend Fox

that's the point, at least you can determine the bias with your own judgement. Fox News is from another planet. They just parrot what their viewers want to hear......They fired Shep Smith for actually reporting the facts....

I agree with what you're saying here, but your last line implies that things used to be different.
The steak thing reminds me of anything I'd see in a new age art / theater / dinner exhibit (pretentious gak).
The 'ceremony' thing seems a tad more awful and far more dangerous. But whatever gets the clicks (and therefore revenue) right?
When did fox new become new age? Next time you go to a restaurant ask the server for a straw when you order a steak. Ask him to put some light bulbs on it too.
and how was the ceremony dangerous?
