Imagine if they were the lone media outlet that went against this? It would have destroyed all credibility of being fair and balanced that they have left, which is almost zero Link to comment

I figure this has far more to do with self-preservation than solidarity. Link to comment

RedDenver Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Interesting interview with an author of a paper about how the right-wing media is insulated from the rest of the media and doesn't fact-check its own stories, which leads to misinformation/propaganda and crazy conspiracy theories not dying down: 1 Link to comment

You could say this about every news network really. Lemon, Madow, Mathews (if he's even on anymore), Hannity, Carlson, Dobs, pretty much every morning show. They're all garbage. 1 1 Link to comment

But she at least does a lot of homework and always has a massive paper trail for her positions, Now, many people could take the position that her claims are blown out of proportion... Link to comment

Which I surely would take that position, see the Trump tax returns... I have to say, I actually don't mind Anderson Cooper, but he gets too preachy and too caught up in scolding the right for my taste. Other than that, I can't think of a single evening talk show worth watching. Link to comment
