Shit like this makes it so much easier for me to state that people make false equivalencies with Fox and other news outlets. NO, other they aren't just as bad (other than arguably MSNBC). They aren't even close.
Their prime time slots do not consist of non-news conspiracy shows that hurl insults at one political side every other sentence. That's when they aren't covering the important news of college campuses and spring break being evil. It's like it's designed solely for angry old men who live in the south.
Well, most of the time that's the one they make the comment about.
Yeah, if you pretend that CNN doesn't exist.
MSNBC is mostly an afterthought to rightwing hardliners because Trump has gone after CNN more than any other news organization. But what else would you expect from a bunch of cultists who follow and parrot the most unintelligent person ever elected to the Presidency?
In fact, it's usually leftists who bring up MSNBC more than CNN. Probably because their self-awareness is a few notches higher and they're generally more willing to accept the fact that it's not of the greatest quality. (while Cancervatives play the game of false equivalency, where Fox News is "ok" to consume because they think all news sources are bad/fake) AKA "I think in binary because a scale varying by X degrees is just too complicated for my small mind."
Must also have something to do with the fact that leftists don't all gravitate to one source of news like most Reepublicans do. And that's further compounded by the fact that the higher quality news organizations (NPR/NYT) only chart on the Democrat/Liberal side.
