I have said that Fox leans left as well as the other MSM outlets... just less so than the other outlets, so it looks a little right leaning.

Well... they just went a little further left.

Ah.... the network which according to wikipedia brought us:
A false bible ban in california
a Hogg conspiracy theory
false attacks on pedophile accusers
false election reports of pedophiles
Seth Rich conspiracy theories
and which the founder has ordered producers to promote certain types of content, such as pro-Trump stories and anti-Clinton stories.

Apparently one of their correspondents is literally a "dems run child porn in a pizza shop in dc" conspiracy theorist.....

That's.... not good macs.

Before laughing about that, you should stop and think of why they say to do that.

It's because you should use primary sources. Which are all linked in wikipedia. I'm not writing you a paper. I did a quick search of what OAN is. Their wikipedia page has a list of their questionable news activities, and has references as evidence.

If I were trying to get a grade from you, I would have written a paragraph about each of those, and specifically referenced the references already in wikipedia (or additional ones). Good thing I'm not trying to get a grade from you.

I mean.... instead of saying "LMAO" about wikipedia pointing out they have a "dems run child porn in a pizza shop in dc" conspiracy theorist as a correspondent.... you could have proven to me that he isn't a "dems run child porn in a pizza shop in dc" conspiracy theorist, or you could have proven to me that he wasn't an OAN correspondent.....

Of course... neither of the above is true. So you chose to complain that I found this true information on wikipedia. SMDH....

According to whom?

And, is that OAN's news reports or commentaries?

Reports of theories doesn't make the reporting agency 'not good'.

It is entirely possible that OAN's news reporting is sound.

I mean.... instead of saying "LMAO" about wikipedia pointing out they ran a story on a bible ban in california which was a patent lie.... you could have proven to me that they didn't run the story...., or you could have proven to me that california actually did ban bibles.....

Of course... neither of the above is true. So you chose to complain that I found this true information on wikipedia. SMDH....

Meh... a variety to be honest (and I do agree with you)...
One of the hosts running with the Hogg conspiracy theory isn't a huge deal. They're commentary level quacks.

But running false news stories, (california bible ban, claiming that Democratic congressional candidate Ammar Campa-Najjar's "father praised the deaths of the Israelis, saying they deserved to die.", false news reports of false crime statistics blaming islam....) that's not good for a "news" company.

Oh dear lord.... it's worse than I thought.

I'm reading about OAN and their Seth Rich crap (they are running stories promoting the idea that he was killed by the dems or some dumb crap like this) and I find that their representatives are on 4chan looking for people who "can help locating information regarding the doctor who treated Seth Rich" . 4chan. The conspiracy central.

Yeah... that's not a great channel to be watching.

Of course, on a more disturbing note, the OAN reporter is apparently the one called on the most by trumpenfurher.... so that's great.

I'll keep watching. It isn't as if any other news outlets haven't made poor hiring choices... or got a story wrong. It happens. Do they keep reporting it, or correct the mistake?

It's my preference right now. Your opinion is duly noted and summarily dismissed.

At least one is still up...

I havent looked for the others. Looks like a bad news source to me. The title of the youtube video is literally: "This California State Assembly bill would BAN the Bible!".... and the headline in the story is "The first tipping point: California's war on Christianity"....

That's pretty much nonsense, and if that's what their news is like then I gotta say, they know their audience.

but you can keep watching, and I don't expect you to not dismiss my opinion. It's not like I wouldn't dismiss your opinion of stuff I read.

Just trying to empty the ocean. One teaspoon at a time.
