Republicans think fox News is too liberal -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 3, 10:58
I'm happy with PBS Newshour and the sexy gray haired lady. -- nm - Max Sep 3, 09:45
Yeah, it's more shameful fallout from the WBD nonsense. John Malone is calling the shots. Meanwhile, Licht left Colbert for this. - David Sep 3, 09:35
They canceled Reliable Sources, one of their must successful weekend shows. It’s not an opinion show, it’s an analysis of accuracy in journalism. - Mop Sep 3, 08:45
Yuuuup. -- nm - Dark Callisto Sep 3, 08:30
Good. One of the big three should actually be balanced. -- nm - Ender Sep 3, 08:30 23
- Yeah, no - TWuG Sep 3, 09:00 17
  - Yup and I'll just leave this here -- (link) - Jovian Sep 3, 09:39
  - Treating every single person on the other side like a radical is exactly how you get everybody on the other side being a radical. -- nm - Ender Sep 3, 09:17 14
    - Not really, no. -- (edited) - znufrii Sep 3, 10:07
    - Is that why every left wing person is a flaming radical communist? -- nm - Reagen Sep 3, 09:31 12
      - Did I say that? -- nm - Ender Sep 3, 09:37 11
        
        So does this only work in one direction then? -- nm - Reagen Sep 3, 09:45 10
        
        Did I say that? You seem determined to catch me in some imagined hypocrisy... -- nm - Ender Sep 3, 09:51 9
        
        You're saying that treating a whole side as radicals turns that whole side into radicals. I present to you as rebuttal, the last 20+ years' treatment - Reagen Sep 3, 09:59 2
        
        Fwiw, I don't accuse you of hypocrisy. I think you are largely principled -- nm - Reagen Sep 3, 10:05 1
        
        Same here. It's important that we say these things, too. -- nm - David Sep 3, 10:06
        
        "A news network should be balanced and unbiased" shouldn't be a controversial opinion... -- nm - Ender Sep 3, 09:52 5
        
        The problem is that fair and unbiased does not jive with "balanced" any more. One party (with the exception of a few individuals that you can count - pmb Sep 3, 11:55
        
        Except that there is bias in treating sides as equivalent when the sides are not at all equivalent. - TWuG Sep 3, 10:06
        
        Balance and unbiased opinion, as with everything, is in the eye of the beholder. -- nm - Reagen Sep 3, 10:02 1
        
        I would very much like the GOP to be a partner in good faith in governance. But the entire party votes in lockstep - TWuG Sep 3, 10:12
        
        It's not. The debate lies in whether moving away from objective truths to cater to potential viewers is balanced and unbiased. - David Sep 3, 10:01
  - They should just change their name to FEFN - znufrii Sep 3, 09:04
- Yeah. I would mostly disagree with them but I feel like at least the Kinzingers of the Republican Party could provide reasonable and civil debate. -- nm - Dano Sep 3, 08:39 4
  - I was happy to see CNN hired Jonah Goldberg. -- nm - Ender Sep 3, 08:45 3
    - Author of the book "Liberal Fascism"? -- nm - Reagen Sep 3, 09:36 2
      - Is that all you know about him? -- nm - Ender Sep 3, 09:42 1
        
        I'm aware he's against Trump. But it's a bit rich that he's the reasonable one now. -- nm - Reagen Sep 3, 09:45
Huh. Noticed their rightwing commentators trickling back. Wasn't sure if they started inviting them again or they were finally accepting a standing - VMan Sep 3, 08:12
Yeah. -- nm - znufrii Sep 3, 08:01
"We need people who will turn us on and watch all day and help bring in that filthy, filthy ad money! Principles be damned!" -- nm - TWuG Sep 3, 07:47
