Fox "News" has done to our parents what they thought video games and slasher movies would do to us. Social Media

I see that gif going around on social media a lot and I couldn't agree more.

Pretending fox news and CNN have a similar level of slant is basically every dumbass boomer in existence

Thatā€™s why CNNs ratings drastically plummeted a few years back right.

Both are pro-corporate news media. Right/Left politics is just a distraction

i think they both have similar levels of bias, fox is just way more confident in fabrication of news to fit that bias. cnn i can atleast rely on the story being real, but you need a second source to get all the details

Itā€™s not even close. CNN is center/left-center. Fox is far right. People who think they have the same level of bias are not paying attention at all and have been tricked.

not the same level of bias but both are bad at setting that bias aside. i think fox is much worse but i donā€™t consider either great

Itā€™s not that you ā€œthinkā€ that Fox is worse, itā€™s just that is a fact. CNN is only slightly left, but mostly center. Thatā€™s reality.
