Kings of Fake News

Yup. Every time the usual suspects on the right claim that "left wing media" isn't reporting on something, it turns out they've reported a bunch on it. Then the pivot is "oh, well, they didn't report when I say they should have!" Shoot that down and they pivot to "well, ok, but it wasn't put on the exact spot on the webpage that Our Lordship demands!"


Here's why the Iran protests are significant - CNN

Iran protests: Several shot on Dorud, source says - CNN

Iran restricts social media and issues warning to protesters - CNN

And those are the few at the top of google. I'm sure that if I did the same searches on yahoo, bing, etc., more articles would turn up since it seems that contrary to the lie, they have been reporting on it just like everyone else.






I don't know where LowDown got the stupid lie that they're only reporting on pro-government protesters and don't really care because, well..... :roll:
 
Fox and MSNBC have been and still are the king and queen, pick whichever you want as one and two. IMO Fox is king and MSNBC is Queen but the order doesn't much matter because they are both firmly in the dishonest and biased category.

Well since they don't watch CNN, it kinda makes sense. Until a story trickles down into the right wing echo chamber they won't know about it, so they don't think the media covers it.

In 2017 I don't know of any that exist. Some are just better than others on the biased scale but Fox and MSNBC are two of the worse (in reference to TV network news).
Theres pictures and charts all over the net, these aren't bad IMO but it doesnt match my "opinion" 100%

So there aren't any "good sources," there are just sources that are worse than others?

CNN = Comedy News Network. It’s definately a last resort for an important story.

Lots of good sources, thing is to not read them with a preconceived or biased opinion. Far to many have rose coloured glasses.
Then double check thru other sources, if it is that important.

I guess we should read sources from both sides to get a middle ground?

I do, I read FOX to Breitbart on occasions. I prefer to read reputable conservative sources though for an informed opinion and not cheerleaders as the previous 2 are nothing but.
