spot on! In the end I (a German) was watching Fox News! Can you believe it? I know they have their own bias but this one time they were doing a somewhat better job.


I think it was an accident because they were split between loving Trump and wanting him to die in a fire. I don't see any path towards true journalistic standards for any major networks.


Yep, that was the secret sauce.

They had reporters, viewers, executives that were one both sides of the issue. So one this one thing it wound up..."fair and balanced".

Anytime a bunch of like-minded people reports on something, you'll wind up with a sideways story.


yeah, probably. But this split is what a good media company needs at any point in time on any issue. Otherwise it's just one-sided drivel.


So true. The "feud" with Megan Kelly made her probably the most trustworthy person on TV this season. Wether FOX's motivation was election-fallout prepping or wether it was an organic change that brought things like the Ailes ousting, they were the most "fair and balanced".
