Good, they should be embarrassed. Fox is essentially Pravda

[Santander]

CNN should get off its high horse.

[Nyvin]

If we're gonna call news channels "news channels", maybe it's about time we start forcing networks to stop claiming the "news" mantle when having commentary shows like Hannity, Maddow, and **cker Carlson. If it was like Bret Baier's show 24/7 Fox News would be a lot more tolerable.

Calling Maddow a commentary show is rather disingenuous.

It's nice to see that some over there in that propaganda-spewing cesspool still maintain a conscience.

[Frodo]

Wait, these staffers genuinely thought they were joining a legitimate news network?

CNN should get off its high horse.

CNN is not the one that used to have the slogan "fair and balanced".

That was just Fox being ironic. It was their John Kasich hipster phase.

Doesn't "being ironic" require some level of self-awareness? This thread is the first ever example I have seen of somebody on Fox having any level of that.

They hackery at Fox is ridiculous and it goes beyond Russia... Tonight they were tweeting blatant lies about Jake Tapper.

"Fair and balanced" was an inside joke at Fox. It was adopted to troll the mainstream media.

[GeorgiaModerate]

Maybe it's time for me to get a hearing aid.  I always thought it was "fair unbalanced".

[Brittain33]

So confused. What company did they think they were working for?

[Absentee Voting Ghost of Ruin]

CNN should get off its high horse.

Trump should pray that they don't.

Playing along with his shock-jock act doesn't actually hurt anything but maybe his ego. Let them get down and dirty and start muckraking and he'll really start feeling the pain. Trade unending coverage of outrage  and moral panic for a never ending stream of "Here's how Con-Artist Trump and his Billionaire Plunder Buddies are shafting the little guy" and see what happens to his approval rating.

I'm all for making CNN and PBS the only allowed Cable News channels.

Too bad that would violate the First Amendment.

CNN? No wonder you post so many inane threads.

[Santander]

PBS isn't even a cable channel, let alone a cable news channel.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

They have a lot more to be embarrassed about than the Mueller/Russia coverage.

Fox is horrible and biased, but I think most of their viewers at least understand that it's a right leaning news source. I'm not sure that CNN viewers are quite as aware of the biases of that network.

[Illiniwek]

Can't be surprised that ~35% still supports trump when they get their news from the "cover-our-ears-la-la-la-nothing-is-wrong-trump-is-doing-great-la-la-la-hamburger-emoji-impeach-hillary" news network.

In  my opinion, it would be nice if we could take FOX, MSNBC, and CNN off the air and shutdown the talk radio shows as well. Let's go back to the days where there was only ABC, CBS, and NBC and back to the days where the fairness doctrine was still in place.

You might want to reconsider that assertion.

56% of consistently liberal respondents say they trust CNN.
88% of consistently conservative respondents say they trust FOX.

[Young Conservative]

A news outlet reporting about their competitor in a negative light is not real news, especially when they use unnamed sources in an attempt to discredit them. This is actual fake news meant to increase CNN viewership.

Nationalizing cable TV?

What if they move online and the audience follows them there. Shut them down there too?
