It’s Fox News. I know you don’t want to hear that because you’re married to talking points instead of facts but if you go back to pre 2016 Fox News was pushing left wing issues like open boarders and the surveillance state. In fact there was a ton of overlap and Obama worship on Fox News at the time even going so far as to fire one of their personalities who criticized him. Their shift to the right has been based on ratings but they are not the alt right network your masters have told you they are.

My parents have Fox News on like 24/7, and they LOVE that shite.

It's brain rot though, Tick Tok for old people.

You seem awfully defensive in response to a simple question. You also seem to make numerous assumptions based solely on the fact I asked a question.

CNN is probably the most neutral cable news station we have, which is why both sides hate it and no one watches it.

they are all skewed. FOX is far right and MSNBC is far left. CNN is mid left.

The day the market had its biggest decline in years, Fox kicked off its 7pm news talking immigration for the first hour. The other two kicked off with the market collapse. It was by FAR the biggest story of the day. It's crazy how biased they are to please daddy Trump.

So who would you say is the closest to a “neutral” cable news station?


I watch News Nation when I just want the news. Most balanced in my opinion. I watch Gutfeld for fun.

Me too. I don't have the numbers in front of me but I still remember Fox being the overall leader, but MSNBC was still CNN's little brother.


Fair, but I'm more curious about overall numbers; it seems like the total viewers, even for the most popular shows, are lower than they were a while back when cable news was the biggest thing at the time.

That said, I've never cared for any of them. All of them at this point just blow sunshine up the arse of whatever viewer base they target. It's so rare that anyone on those channels speaks out against their cash cows that the actual ACT of doing so is news worthy itself.

Cable news was the beginning of the end of political discourse in the US, and both sides are guilty of falling into the echo chamber trap that they generate.

CSPAN is the most neutral.

It's not even close, as half their programming is just live feeds of Washington with no commentary, just names and vote outcomes.

CNN has -never- -ever- been neutral. I worked for Turner for a very short time back in the 90's and the CNN staffers were raging lunatic libs behind the scenes but the on air staff managed to hide most of it.

It's no wonder their ratings are in the toilet since their reporting is so biased to the left and they are out of touch with the majority of America.

I used to see cnn on on random tvs in businesses and houses. Now it's mostly fox and msnbc. Cnn tried and failed to go middle. And fox is proudly pro trump and msnbc is anti trump and people choose based on that.

They didn't try, but they certainly failed.

CNN viewers sample news. FOX viewers leave it on almost 24-7.
It's two entirely different audiences.


I never thought of this but you are absolutely right.

Also, whoever said NewsNation is the least biased is correct. They try really hard to keep it straight facts.
