And before you go there...I feel the same way about MSNBC.

I don't have problems with veracity of the actual news programs on any of them. There is very little that any of them dare put on a news show that isn't pretty carefully vetted.

Where I have problems with ALL of them, incluidng the straight news shows, is completeness and objectivity. In terms of the three questions you're asked when you go on the witness stand, they all tell the truth, but not the whole truth and not necessarily nothing but the truth. And as I say, that applies to the straight news as well as the opinion on any of them. A Matt Lauer or Katie Couric, or any of them, has too much reputation to risk reporting something that is totally false and becoming the next Dan Rather. But they pick and choose what parts of the truth to report, and anything unfavorable to their point of view gets omitted or very much soft-pedaled if omitting is not possible. And contrary points of view get dismissive reports, accompanied by remarkably unflattering photos of their advocates. It's subtle stuff, stuff that's not readily measured by any of the metrics in the published media bias stories, and it's generally very well executed. But it's still misleading, and every single outlet still engages in it to some extent.

I disagree. Its pretty poorly executed these days. They seem to think their viewers are morons (I will make an exception for Matt Lauer who is still pretty professional).

The most balanced news is either coming internationally as they have less need to please the American people, or strictly from online sources.

The news that elected Trump!
