So many people, both left and right, only listen to sources that say what they want to hear, or know that what they hear will confirm their biases.

As usual this morning, I spent a few minutes on CNN, Fox and MSNBC while having breakfast. I do it just to see the spin being put on current events. My tolerance for bullcrap is low so I can only take a few minutes of it.

According to CNN, the quality of fashion clothing will drop significantly due to tariffs and "What Americans have come to see as a right to quality clothing since just after Covid will be compromised." Also, the much-touted cease-fire agreement fell apart hours after the phone call between Putin and Trump.

According to FoxNews, the cease-fire agreement is the greatest bit of diplomacy ever in American politics.

According to MSNBC, Chief Justice Robert's statement concerning Trump talking about impeaching the federal judge blocking his efforts to deport gang members and other illegals was the most humiliating dressing down of a sitting president ever.

And every five minutes the lib channels are reminding us all that Medicaid is going to be gutted and driving home all the hardships that will cause Americans.


Eh...wot?

The news is very important to the network, and viewership is closely monitored. Must be a profitable hour since there are many commercials.

Where I live there is only one TV station, so we watch their news. Happens to be CBS.

I believe Fox has about 50% of viewers, the other networks split the rest. If I had to watch main stream media I'd read a book.

Been watching Newsmax lately cause Fox is difficult to stream here.... kinda biased to the right, and all the talking heads say the same thing all day long. Worst commercials ever, I wonder about their sales dept, have about 6 commercials and will often play them back to back to back to fill the time slot. Watched one commercial 10 times in a row!
At least Bianca De la Garza is easy to look at, lol

If you dont know why right-of-center media outlets cant get good advertisers, you have been asleep for 20 years. Major brands arent advertising on the right because they are afraid of being boycotted. That's why many outlets are subscription based.

Well yeah,... commented on the amount of commercials, not why they don't have many, and I only sleep at night.

Its the same problem, yo get repeat commercials because of the lack of partners available. Thats why a lot of places started doing live reads. The programmers during the breaks fall asleep sometimes.

The news outlets are a business and they all have something to sell. Do some comparative shopping, test drive a few before you make a major investment in what you believe.

Bloomberg is about as liberal as it gets. And the anti-Trump stuff was off the charts prior to the election; their agenda was so obvious. Right there with NPR, except to some degree paying for Bloomberg is a choice. NPR is in part tax funded.

Legit is supposed to just give a general overview on which way what new source leans and what you tend to do via looking over stuff.

I used to watch Newsmax right away in the morning. Monday it was Wendy Bell, Tuesday Rob Carson, Wednesday (my favorite) Wise Guys, Thursday Dick Morris. After that I had them on most of the day. Since they dropped them in the morning, I switched back to FOX and NewsNation. I don't watch NewsMax anymore and I used to be one of their biggest promoters.

Bloomberg is left leaning as I said,,,,

Micheal Bloomberg is a super libtard,,,

But they cover major events/pressers/economic data, real time

They’ll show an entire press conference, interview,,,,etc better than anyone else
