I'm good at starting trouble, I guess. O.o

I don't like Fox News either
but I don't like any of them
and MSNBC would be my worst

but just like my music
I watch stuff I don't like
that's how I know I don't like it

I'm not a big fan of MSNBC either even if they lean left. I have watched Fox News which is why I know I don't like the network and check in on occasion, usually to see what else they dislike people like me (lefties) for. Anyone is free to like news sources I don't like, I just don't consider them a reliable source so directing them at me is unlikely to be convincing and I'll try to research the story.

I dropped the news website Huffington Post for sensationalizing too much and it's left leaning. Politics can be a reason I have a problem with a news source and how they spin stories, I don't accept Alex Jones or Breitbart News as trustworthy whatsoever.

when it comes to political news coverage
there is no such thing as unbiased
to be unbiased is to be ignorant of the subject

Eh, I guess so. I do prefer news sources that don't sensationalize too much and are reliable and can stand after being fact checked. Some news sources are too divisive for me.

Also the fake news stories that have been surfacing have made me more cautious lately.

I don't like everything on FOX but I am a fan.
I watch Kelly Files every night but did not know Kelly is leaving. Wow.
Wonder who will fill her spot?

She hasn't said she is leaving on her show yet? I thought she did announce it recently.

Yeah she is reportedly leaving, but it hasn't been made clear when she will or who will be replacing her at the moment and Kelly didn't renew her contract with the network and is going to NBC. Confusedhrug:

This is going to hurt FOX! Sorry I won't be seeing her anymore!

So what if she is leaving whatever news channel she is on? She is only a television presenter. It's not like she's going to change the world. People place far too much importance on TV presenters. They're not exactly killing themselves to earn vastly inflated salaries. They're just talking heads people - the same ones that could not foresee the outcome of the election - and they were the ones talking about it every day. Not exactly smart people.
