mostly what shakran said.
among the claims that float out from what's left of conservative-land, among the most worthless is that the entire american press is somehow part of a "liberal conspiracy" and that therefore their explicit mixing of rightwing talking points and infotainment more generally is hunky dory. none of that is true outside the blinkered little world of the right.
faux news is quite different from other networks. it's part of their business model to be an explicitly rightwing political network. remember roger ailes?
if capitalism were in fact rational, you'd expect to see fauz news scrambling to adjust that model--but no haps--they still present hannity et al as if they represented a rational viewpoint. so fine--it's just a question of time before they collapse then, murdoch money or not.
cnn and most of the other television "news" outlets support in a predictably servile manner whomever is in power. it's strange that the right has been persuaded that cnn is somehow anti-conservative when the fact is that the network is still chock-a-block with conservative relics--ever watch lou dobbs? the guy's a one-dimensional horse's ass, but he's still on in primetime. go figure.
