I personally believe news on TV is for pure entertainment, to make money, and divide. This. Applies to both left and right networks. There isn’t anything on TV that’s straight down the middle. I don’t think you have any honest media anymore.

I wanted to pose the question because it’s not one sided.

Media Sensationalism is a problem for sure. But even if you don't trust any media sources, you need to be able to rely the evidence your own eyes and ears tell you, and Fox, OAN, Newsmax and the like have taken to trying to gaslight the nation. Is "left leaning" media perfect? Not at all, but they tend to acknowledge that reality exists more often than their Republican counterparts.

I see the left news networks gas light just as much. I pose the question because it’s a two way street. Whether people in this sub want to Accept it or not.

Really? Just as much? Wow, I didn't know MSNBC was reporting that Bernie won the presidency and will be reinstated any day now.

Oh wait no, that's the Right and Trump isn't it?
