Fox is on record--court record--admitting its business model is to provide its audience with the news they want to hear. "Neither red nor blue but Green."

That's a rather different standard from NYT and WaPo.

One way of Fox pushing back against its widespread loss of credibility is to undermine that of news sources,
who take much more care in vetting sources.

Enter Bill Maher, a liberal, certainly, but no "far leftist" as the Right likes to portray him. He makes a general statement about "liberal" news
following a "narrative," including our flagship organizations, and that instantly sanctions a round of "both sidesism" and false
equivalence, as if all were really Fox News if we are being "honest." 

This just suggests to me that many people do not really think much about how news should be read by news consumers.
Many just imagine "objective" news and find "bias" here and there to buttress their own beliefs. Since no one can be a
first hand witness to all news events, they are relying on some sources and reporters some where for news--including
determination that other sources are "fake news"--but mostly relying on "personal credibility" of sources. That's why so much is
made of WHO said what in OP, and little question of his powers of assessment.

For anyone serious in demanding accurate and reliable news sources, Trump's presidency should be a lessen what follows from
declaring anything you don't like "fake news" and creating a "narrative" that it is just everywhere.

Trump exposed "Fake News" and why all of the fake news sources hate him. People can see what is reported on both sides. CNN and MSNBC refused to cover Trump campaign speeches. How far left and 3rd world country can you get that Biden media attempting to control the narrative by not allowing their own viewers to watch the Trump speeches and let them decide for themselves. They literally are saying their viewers are not smart enough to decipher a speech so they refuse to show it.

Trump has also exposed our Justice department as being biased by showing the world their work attempting to work with Democrats to literally put the top GOP candidate in jail versus attempting to beat him at the ballot box in November. Trump and Republicans have exposed the current 2 tier system of justice. Again, why everyone hates and fears him.

Any logical person can look at Biden and Trump and realize one candidate Trump's policies helped deter illegal immigration, did well with the economy with great and low inflation numbers (5%) over 4 years or less than 1.3% inflation on average per years. He provided a tax cut (Biden will not do a tax cut when Trump's tac expires, if so he would have already done it0 and Trump's policies improved wages higher. than inflation. In contrast, Biden' economic policies have cost an average net loss of income of $11,000 per family (with Trump's tax cuts) while Trump over his 4 years put more money in. the pockets of low and middle income workers.

Trump kept us out of wars and followed up by killing Soleimani who was Iran's leader of terror around the world. Biden is a disaster on the border as he allows our country to be overwhelmed by unvetted illegal immigrants, to date anywhere between 8 to 10 million in 3 years. How many do not share our beliefs? How many want to push their agenda and harm our country. How many are a part of terror cells with plans to kill Americans on our own soil?

The fake news agenda to destroy Trump and look the other way at our border crisis will someday have blood on their hands. Some will have family and friends killed on US soil by terrorists or illegal immigrants. Illegal immigrants are not vaccinated, have no money, no job so why we see all of the illegal immigrants robbing and stealing. Our country is a mess and Joe Biden and liberal policies need to take responsibility and then help the Republicans fix it.
