Here is the story from NBC.  The girl was attacking another girl with a knife and the police shot her.  They even showed a picture of the knife as evidence.  Everything about that is true yet FoxNews is squealing about how NBC is biased.

Meanwhile FoxNews and the right-wing media supported an absolute lie about the election being stolen through fraud and did not shut up about it until they were sued.  And when one of their main mouthpieces on the issue, Sidney Powell, got sued personally here is a direct quote of her defense.  .  .  

“No reasonable person would conclude that the statements were truly statements of fact,” Powell's attorneys said in a court filing defending her against a billion-dollar defamation lawsuit from Dominion Voting Systems, 

So while I admit that almost every news source leans a bit one way or the other, and there are some left-wing extremist that go to far, there is really no comparison between the huge factual lies that the right spews compared to the liberal editorial comments from what is generally labeled the "mainstream" media.  Discrediting the media is a major tool FoxNews uses to try and advance their propaganda.  That is why they oftentimes spend more time reporting on "the mainstream media" than the actual news.

 So I guess we actually agree. Fox gets a lot of blame here in this forum in particular (And at times rightfully so) but it's an almost daily occurrence where one news organization or another is manipulating the facts. This is not the completely one sided issue you portray it to be. MSNBC & CNN are just as bad as Fox. NBC, CBS & ABC aren't completely trustworthy either. Wouldn't take long to prove that but I'm too lazy to do the work this morning. 

My point is they are all trying to advance their own viewpoint/propaganda & none of them is much better than the other. IMHO
