Fox News has been suppressing the truth for 20 years now and where are the complaints about that?

  What Fox News was since Ailes took over, CNN and MSNBC have become. That's something to be really worried about. For a long time, I read the NYT and watched CNN. I never felt the need to check in and see what Fox was saying until the last 2-3 years. Now I do, because I don't trust that I'm getting the whole story.

    Don't worry. When it comes to (especially) foreign policy, none of the media have been doing anything but state propaganda since the Remember the Maine incident. If you think blue TV is lying and check red TV you're missing the case where both blue and red agree it's good to lie to people. These cases where they agree revolve around suppressing opposition to corporate rule and around the nature of military alliances and misadventures.

      I don't think rayiner says he's only watching fox now, rather he's checking that as well. Here's my take: When you look from different angles it gets harder to hide things. Fox News wants to hide some things, CNN wants to hide others. Looking at it from both angles you get to see some of the stuff each tries to hide and maybe you can make a reasonable guess on what both tries to hide.

        Ah... I was assuming he was watching both. The problem is sometimes all the TV channels agree! You have to look for (usually written) news that is willing to criticize the state, corporations, and the war machine to get that angle.

    What sorts of information do you believe a person would be missing out on by largely excising CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News from their media consumption? (there's an obvious question about what you'd replace them with, but I think the answer is almost anything would be more informative)
