still going with that? Despite the fact that only old codgers watch MSM.

once again, since you had so much trouble reading this the first time;

in 2017 CNN’s median age was 60, while the median age of the Fox News and MSNBC viewer was 65, reports TVNewser, which added that the good news for CNN and Fox News is “they each aged down one year, from 2016 when CNN’s median age was 61 and Fox News’s was 66.

Median Age of Typical Cable News Viewer is 60 or Older - Capitol Communicator

stupidity is doing the same thing over and over but expecting a different result. you can't change the result by denying the facts. No matter how hard you try.

Tyrants and aspiring tyrants such as 45 despise the free media. Is it any wonder that nearly every authoritarian regime puts severe limits on the freedom of the press?

All of the ones you listed all have a bias. You don't get reality from any of them.

Definitely true. I just try to always remember that virtually all outlets are in essence, opinion columns. Unfortunately, objectivity does not sell much anymore.

Amazing how many of you can't distinguish between news and editorial/opinion. I read WAPO and NYT daily and I know the difference between REPORTING and OPINION. These two papers do amazing reporting which is why I read them.

That's the problem with fake news and I wholeheartedly back Trump for calling the fake news what it is, fake news and it was that way long before Trump came into the picture. The media should just report the news and report it fairly without a bias or an agenda, which is where it all becomes the opinion column you refer to.
 
I get my news from a variety of sources. Radio, podcasts, digital, with a mix of both sides.

Even DP is a fairly good, if left-skewed source for news.

If they were focused more on facts primarily we the people would get more facts.. As it is, we have to sift through everything and separate fact from spin
Not as easy as it may sound sometimes

You can't trust any of it. Not absolutely. You need to cross-check pretty much everything.
