More fair and balanced than any other. But 55/45 unfavorable/favorable is better than all the others 90+% negative.
Yes - even when they were accused of being in Trump's camp, they were still pretty much 50/50 on coverage of Trump - meaning they covered the news fairly.
To a DEM, fair coverage is an anathema - you have to be 90% knee-jerk anti-anything-related-to-Trump to be considered part of the 'journalist' profession.

80+% of fatalities are above 60 years old. I’m in that category. Do we destroy the livelihoods of tens of millions for the aged with preexisting conditions? We abort more annually. I’m not wearing a mask. I’m going to live my life. If God wants me, I’m ready. I’ll miss my family, grandkids, but I want them to have something. Most importantly, FREEDOM.
I am pushing 82 and I agree with the sentiment - I do wear a mask and protect myself (multiple underlying respiratory/immune deficiencies) - But I don't expect the world to stop to protect me from my own unwise decisions. I willingly quit going out into crowds and started wearing a mask anytime I was around anyone else (primarily to protect/reassure anyone I cam in contact with because I had a constant cough)
I am perfectly willing to take my chances going out into the new "wilderness" of unknown virus inhabitation. I would do it willingly, but cautiously, and with an eye to my own survival. I do not expect the sea to part and pave a way for me to waltze anywhere irresponsibly to protect ME from my own foolishness - or bad luck.
This flirtation with global depression as a measure to 'virtue signal' our 'goodness' is insane. I think it is being pressed by those who WANT a world in economic disaster - that is the environment from which socialist/communist movements always take a foothold and rise to power.
That is a far greater threat than a virus.

Because Trump does some stupid, inconsistent shite.
I like the guy, but damn people...you gotta see he brings it on himself.

In this climate of anti-conservative dementia and evil ideology, I'd stop a bullet to protect Trump from being the victim of the sedition underway for the past 3+ years.
But dammit - I wish the man himself were a more polished speaker - i cringe at his constant braggadocio and his limited vocabulary.
YES - I know that he is not a practiced political orator - That part I ike - I hate the word salad that most politicians spew where they actually say nothing and never reveal their true behind-the-scenes objective.
But I'd also like a strait shooter who tells it like it is with something beyond a fifth grad vocabulary.
I would still support Trump thru all this, but his mannerisms make it easy for those who already hate is policies to invest their energy into hating the man in lieu of trying to argue against his policies = a fool's errand, because they have nothing logical or effective or doable to put up against his policies. This personal trait of theirs allow them to attack the persona instead and just make assertions about his policies - and many who remain un=informaed, will translate the obvious incompetence in is oratory as a bridge to just accept all the policy allegation.
He brings a lot of this on himself.
Far far from perfect - but DAMMIT he is doing the RIGHT THING!! Just wish he wouldn't make it so hard for someone to believe him.

I said that same thing earlier — there are a couple of midbday hosts that sound like CNN reporters. I actually did a double take to check the channel.

Including spontaneous abortion, way more annually. Thank God he designed life this way, too, as any truly omniscient being would see the dangers of unchecked reproduction.

Confirmation bias?
Fox is far from anti-Trump
And like always, by opining that Fox is far from anti-Trump, you just openly admitted that all the other networks are.
How, you ask? In order to state that something is 'far from being anti-Trump', you have to have several solid examples of what anti-Trump networks look like

So, apparently you want a news Network that supports everything the President does and says.
Move to China or Russia.

And I voted for this guy. Just like Romney and McCain. I’m sorry.
The other option was Obama. You have nothing to apologize for. I would have voted for Bin Laden over Obama.

I would swear I’m looking at CNN.com vs. Foxnews.com. I thought Fox News supported the Conservative viewpoint... WTF happened?
What happened is you bought into the illusion of choice. They have been owned by the left just like CNN. Nothing new.
Now that nobody with a brain trust CNN they are being forced to move Fox further to the left. Started over a year ago.

bullshite - we have news orgs like that whenever there is a DEM POTUS. The media gobbled Obama's knob so vigorously I doubt he could father another child.
Opposite with GOP POTUS - has been this way since Reagan. Worsened with Clinton - went completely offscale with Obama and now it is nothing more than a propaganda organ against Trump.
What we all want is FAIR coverage. Present the facts of the day - If you comment on the motives of the politicians, then have the decency to have someone other than known propagandists from either side.
Why do we never see someone like Thomas Sowell or Walter Williams giving their opinions on the CNN type networks??? I mean 'diversity is their strength: - right ???
The entire media is doing nothingmrore that acting as a house organ for the DEMOCRAT party - FNC was the only one that even tried to be fair. Now, their 'pure news' segments are turning to the left. Bill Hemmer is a great improvement over Shep Smith and I think he is pretty fair.
But Wallace, and others are marginal - nothing quite as bad as what garbage CNN and MSNBC offer up as "journalists" however.
oh - you are disgusting.
