    Just watch CNN for example. Go back to any of the riot coverage. But you already know that.

    It depends. If you are talking about CBS Evening News, no. If you are talking about the cable news knuckleheads, yes. They are on 24/7 and fill the air time with about 8% news and 75% bullshit (plus 17% commercials). All are politically biased, but it depends upon the show actually broadcasting. Daytime CNN is a lot better than nighttime CNN. The same goes for Fox. I don't watch much MSNBC but suspect they're the same.

    The bad news for CNN and MSNBC is that they are dividing their niche between them while Fox has a lock on the RW niche. That could change as other RW media (such as OAN) outlets grow and compete with Fox.

    Notice how it breaks down CNN and Fox "news" and "opinion" into different categories but MSNBC is far left.

    How can I know if I don't see an example? I don't watch CNN.

    I am sure it is rampant on all liberal media sources. Take a look.

    So it's an assumption? Just say so.

    Anything with Cuomo or Lemon is as far Left as Rush and Hannity. Presumably all are doing it to make money. Like testified to in court about Alex Jones, they're "playing a character", a "performance artist".

    Do I sound cynical?

    There's a crucial difference here: Jones is an opinion guy, CNN portrays themselves as news.
    Don't be afraid to see what you see

    So does Fox. What's your point? Is it that Fox can make money but CNN can't? If so then that's unAmerican.

    Alex Jones has a fucking podcast and is a conspiracy/opinion guy. Anyone who compares the MSM to Alex Jones needs to kill themselves right now, for the good of the country.

    He's quoted by the RWNJ all over this forum. Just not as much since his fall from grace. Examples:

    The fact you totally ignored Hannity is telling.

    No. Fact. Obviously you are nervous to find the truth. Give it a shot.
