"In other words, you like Fox because it tells you what
you want to hear, and presents alternative views only with
disparagement and a carefully selected set of “facts”
aimed at reinforcing the preferred view."

Nope. I think I've made my point on this rather well over
the last few days here.

I like FOX better than the others because they don't make
a habit of doing what you described. However it is an
accurate description of the liberal media outlets I
mentioned. FOX isn't perfect. The others have earned my
contempt.

I check multiple sources because I know I'm biased & it
allows me to see first hand who said what & gather enough
facts to make reasonable conclusions. If you make a habit
of lying & distorting, I don't care what your political
views are, I won't trust you without fact checking. And if
you lie & distort on matters of substance, you'll earn my
disdain. That goes for media & politicians.

It's that simple.

"What I see, on the rare occasions when I see TV news, is
one side’s slant and distortion trying to trump the other
side’s slant and distortion....."

Well, you have my posts right here making a number of
claims & assertions. I used factual info to support them
all.

When you can do precisely the same thing to refute those
claims & assertions, I'll gladly continue this discussion.
If not, there's no reason to discuss your perception of
reality at all. I'm not going to change my POV because you
think certain things to be true, so they are.
