Go figure.
If you don't like the news pretend it's all fake.

I think it's called: 'Trying too hard.'
The news is the news. They are there to make a buck (at least the commercial for-profit news) and sensation sells, so guess what? They present sensationalized news. Isn't it amazing how much mileage they get out of an event? You know really, there isn't that much sensational news 24-7. The trick is to over-dramatize it, pump it up, buff it off, rearrange it, augment it, present it just so. Like a boquet of flowers. Actually, it's a very slick and bizarre art form. Ever evolving. Addictive for some, revolting to others, regardless of being conservative or liberal.
There is no 'deep state' controlling the news. If it seems like most of the news is to the left, that means you are to the right.
If you have to swallow some pretty tall tales to make your politics work, you might want to take a fresh look at your politics.
You might be trying too hard.
It's pretty hard to believe that only one network has the real news, and all the rest are part of some conspiracy to misinform people.
It's a lot easier to believe that one network found a niche group and figured out how to tell them what they want to hear. Especially if victimhood and boogiemen are involved.

I like the non-profit news sources.

They're not trying to sell you anything. It's done as a public service.

Exactly. The sooner we all realize this the sooner we'll realize we're being played.
Last night NBC Nightly News spent an entire precious 60 seconds of air time on a stupid story about a guy who saved a dog whose owner had gotten into an elevator and closed the door, not realizing her dog wasn't inside with her. It was caught on a security camera. When the segment was over, Mr. Owl said "Can you imagine Walter Cronkite covering a nothing story like that?"

Hello cawacko,
OK, so what they are doing is soliciting funding to cover the expense of presenting the news. Seems reasonable enough. Production has to get paid for one way or another. This way, you're not getting news that's partial to any advertisers. What you see is a lot of trusts and philanthropists supporting public news.
If you tune in to Fox you're getting the NRA news. Gee. I wonder if you are going to see sensationalist stories about the use of guns? You're getting the Big Pharma news. I wonder if you are going to see lots of stories about illness?
