We have wildly different experiences watching the same channel then. Reality is funny sometimes.

That’s why I gave them any credit in the first place is I’ve had a mental block on them for about 20 years anything they say I just don’t wanna hear it cause fuck them I’ll get my news somewhere else. Then I realized how often the other outlets were flat out lying because I pay attention. I would instantly know some of the things they were lying about look up things that would corroborate my memory to make sure and sure is hell they were lying so I started back checking them on anything that they claimed that was outrageous or damning. They mostly just lie. This has not been the case throughout my life, in fact, until about 6 months before Trump became president CNN was mostly honest. You can always trust CNN to be left leaning but fair not liars. I don’t know what the fuck happened but now it’s practically all of them. I still hate Hannity and I don’t care to watch Fox like my parents would I’ll just catch the highlights but when I check them for bullshit by digging around, I don’t find lies. Or at least I haven’t found one for quite a while and don’t think for one second that doesn’t pain me to have to admit I used to hate Tucker Carlson_he was a joke on CNN. Now, he’s one of the better journalists alive. Hate having to say it ,but fair is fair.

I kind of like Epoch, but their agenda is really clear in their coverage. Most of Fox is political commentary. When they actually do journalism, they’re not the worst, but literally no one anymore is clear on where the lines in their content are.

I respect the journey you’ve been on with them. Kudos to you for paying attention, checking sources and verifying information.

Edit: I love how pointing out things like in Capitalist America, to modern news outlets YOU are the product they are selling gets you down votes. I never understood the Cynic philosophers until Reddit. I owe you all for that, so I am grateful.
