Fox Viewers See more Dark Clouds Than Public at Large

This happens in everything. Look at the journalists who actually dared to call out the doping of Lance Armstrong. It took a decade before they were vindicated. During that decade, they were black listed and unable to gain access to any of the cyclists in the peloton.

But, even with all that pressure, we still saw plenty of articles calling Lance a cheat. I guess that shows the importance of going off the main track a bit when looking for reliable information.

It happens yes, but it should not. With the Lance Armstrong situation there was at least some journalists that did some digging and others that had many questions. What is happening in the US, is basically the same that happens in Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Arabia has very little official censorship... because the media does it automatically... aka self censorship. That is what more and more US media do.

Gloom and doom, "its all over," and taking a decreasing demographic and making them increasingly angry and scared of the opposition... FoxNews and Commentary business model.

And if you ever watch those fundamentalist Christian show's with idiots like Pat Robertson and Jim Bakker (who I watch for ****s and giggles from time to time), the entire model of those kinds of shows is pretty much built off of the "doom & gloom" mentality.

I believe what we have here are highly partisan journalists and editors working for various news sources. So much so, I would not consider any single one by itself to give me the whole story. However, even the NYT has it's Right Wing columnist as does the Wa Post. So, there is a soft attempt at balance.

I don't see a Leftie on Fox News. Unless, you want to call Megyn Kelly or Shep Smith liberals that is.

Those kind of "christians" have been praying for Armageddon to hurry up, cuz they think Jebus is riding down on a cloud with the holy vacuum cleaner to zap them up in the rupture. Nothing would give these types more unbridled joy, than a bloody global conflict sure to doom all mankind. They have regular wet dreams about it.

Ah, but relief can be found by dialing the number at the bottom of the screen.

I don't watch Fox and I can tell things are pretty screwed up. Do you have to watch CNN to form your opinions?. I am amazed that CNN would publish an bad opinion of Fox. They spent 20 minutes gushing about Megyn Kelly the other day.
Here is some of the "quality" work done by CNN "journalists".

I don't watch CNN. I read their Money site and check their main page though.

I watch CNBC a lot.. the US version is utterly anti-European (especially French), anti-"liberal" and pro business (borderline fanatical) and yes pro Apple ... Apple gets tons of free advertisement on that channel. Bloomberg is better but far from perfect.

Jim Cramer is hack..he was recommending Lehman Brothers on his stock show a couple of days before they went belly up.

Joe Kernen is horrible.. so far out on the right and pro business that it is disgusting.. oh and very anti-European. He loves making fun of the french and is a global warming denier extremist.

Michelle Caruso-Cabrera is utterly right wing biased. Hates anything "liberal"... as in defined as stuff she disagrees with. Her coverage of the Greek debt crisis was... diabolical, uneducated and lacked so many facts.

Rick Santelli... he is simply a crazy free market moron that has some crazy ass rants.

There are a few more.. and they totally crowd out and dominate the more sensible ones on the channel that try to remain unbiased in their reporting and views. Sadly the best host Simon Hobbs a Brit, left the channel suddenly on July 29th 2016. Guess pressure from up top forced him out, because he at least asked the tough questions once in a while.

I think you might be confusing "anti-European" and critical of EU incompetence.
