I watch the News Hour and have for something like 30 or 40 years. I used to watch Charley Rose but he got taken off the air for sexual harassment. I also watch Frontline, Nature and Nova. In addition, I like Hardball with Chris Matthews and All In with Chris Hayes.
From your perspective it's a factual stetement but for another person's perspective by definition it very well could be an opinion or it might be a factual statement depending on the person.
Very interesting take! Facts being variable. It reminds me of the old admonishment; Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts.
Well you forgot the new category that Trump and Kelly Ann Conway came with. We now have alternative facts. That was a great monment in history knowing now that we have facts and alternative facts.
Some people bucked the old fact that the world was flat...those folks claiming it was round didn't think there was only one set apparently..
While both Fox and CNN are biased to opposite polls, CNN does not seem as hypocritical in my opinion. Fox takes a side, Trump does the opposite and everyone at Fox follows suit. CNN takes a side and tend to keep that perspective. Not perfectly, and CNN is my least respected liberal rag. I like MSNBC much more, just as liberal as CNN I admit, but I feel they try much harder to be factual. I don’t watch much Right-wing news but I assume there is a show or channel that leans conservative yet stays above the fray. BBC seems to be the most honest of all the stations.
They are broadcast all over the globe...were my only source of news in English for a couple of decades...I can't stand the major news stations here stateside...they have way too much infatuation with pop culture here and TV....don't really cover the world very well. I listen to several Asian news stations online to get a perspective that's not all about the US.
if you like listening to static and white noise with an occasional parade march....I'd guess KNKR would be on speed dial!
I get all my news from this forum. Apparently @Lanny and @MARIS61 were nerds together in Lake Oswego.
