I don't think you understand the U.S. news market. TV news is provided by Fox, MSNBC, CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS and then some ancillary players. That doesn't count print. So even some liberals here have pointed out, Fox News might have the largest audience but that is in a fragmented market.

Fox News also seems to receives a lot of attention and hostility because their commentators frequently mock other news outlets for biased coverage. So the partisan nature of cable news is amplified. "How dare they" one might say.

In closing, I will say the 2020 U.S. Presidential election was not stolen..............but, but, but what about........in short, no caveats. See what a correct factual answer looks like.

I agree, the US news is fractured. However, with the ongoing decline of local news sources (which, unfortunately, is happening in Canada as well), many people are getting information from questionable sources. The right-wing media is, obviously, much larger than just Fox. I haven't seen the stats lately, but the top podcasts are right-wing, the talk radio format is heavily skewed to the right wing, and shares on Facebook and other social media (especially now on X), skew right. And, that wouldn't be an issue, per se, but they frequently misreport or pass on lies as if they were facts. But, because of Fox's largeness, they also tend to be the ones who amplify distorted takes, which the other right-wing folks spread. What's the old saying? A lie will be halfway around the world before the truth has its pants on...

And, let's take a look at how Fox amps up bullshit: This morning, on Fox Business (I know, not Fox news...), they had James Comer on talking about how the GOP is concerned that Tim Walz has ties to China, and maybe has been groomed. Now, no reasonable person would think this. But, Comer knows the Fox audience is easily manipulated, so he and Maria Bartilomo talk about it for like four minutes. And, I'm willing to bet this will get some play in the opinion shows at some point (if it hasn't happened already).

You should post the clip. Second hand accounts can be influenced by visceral responses.

Fox News no doubt has a large audience*, but I think the entire media itself paints everything like a team sport. There have been articles and polls that demonstrate most Americans have more nuanced political beliefs than the two parties and the middle is much larger than portrayed. From my vantage point, you get about 30% of the left and 30% of the right pulling in their direction. Of course, they are attracted to certain news outlets and disparage others.

Most of the Americans I know watch a variety of news channels and read some print newspapers or websites.

* The Fox News audience doesn't have the influence the three major TV networks had forty years ago

The narrative that people it has been "confirmed as real" is too stuck in their brains now.

The narrative that Joe Biden was sharp as a tack was going on until Joe himself proved it was all a lie...how long was that going on?

I approve of this in general.
People should post clips and more complete ones.

You should look at Newsweek's headlines the last three weeks. They are posting headlines that conflict with the last. Sometimes in the same day.

No one should be posting any Newsweek.
They may sometimes put real information out, who can tell, but they clearly don't care one way or the other.

RFK drops out and endorses Trump.
That should give Trump a few extra percentage points (y)

It felt like the Democrats were going for something like the famous Monty Python catchphrase. Does anyone think it worked?

Robert Kennedy Jr. Rocks the Stage, Earns Standing Ovation in Trump Rally Epic Moment “We know that a government that can silence its opponents has license for any kind of atrocity. And can you think of any time that you can look back in history and say that the people who were censoring were the good guys? They're always the bad guys because it's always the first step down that slippery slope to totalitarianism. “Don't you want a safe environment for your children? Don't you want to know that the food that you're feeding them is not filled with chemicals that are going to give them cancer and chronic disease? “And don't you want a president that's going to make America healthy again?

They told him and the others to shut the fuck up and let Harris go ahead.

Gavin Newsom jokes about Harris landing nomination without primary, laughs he was ‘told’ to call it inclusive

California Gov. Gavin Newsom joked about the process that landed Vice President Kamala Harris the Democratic presidential nomination, saying in an interview posted Friday that he was "told to say" it was an open, inclusive process.

President Biden's blockbuster announcement last month that he was ending his re-election bid for a second term in the White House resulted in Harris replacing him at the top of the ticket. She has since enjoyed a surge in polling and fundraising, but never received a vote as the Democratic Party quickly embraced her to lead the ticket.

Critics of the Democratic Party have suggested Harris got the nomination without the true will of the voters, but Newsom appeared to find the process humorous.

"We went through a very open process, a very inclusive process. It was bottom-up, I don’t know if you know that. That’s what I’ve been told to say," Newsom said as he laughed during a talk with "Pod Save America" posted Friday.

Newsom then joked that Democrats held a 30-minute convention between tweets by Biden on July 21 announcing he left the race and then had endorsed Harris.

"It’s been amazing," quipped Newsom, who's widely seen as having future White House ambitions himself.

Democrats like Nancy Pelosi have claimed the nomination wasn't orchestrated in Harris' favor after Biden dropped out

The clip drew criticism as it began to circulate on social media on Friday.

"The Party of Democracy sits around guffawing at how anti-democratic and vote-free and secret was their process for choosing and then imposing the new Democratic presidential nominee on the country," journalist Glenn Greenwald responded.

If I recall, the Pod Save America people were some of the ones pushing for Biden and Harris to be dropped, weren't they?
