There certainly is a big difference between Fox News and msnbc.
I don't listen to cnn very much, since it's a total sewer, but I
do listen to MSNBC sometimes to get the left-wing slant on the news.
On MSNBC you get only left wing news, but on Fox News you get all
the news, pretty much fair and balanced. Another interesting thing
is that there are a number of black analysts on FNC who praise
Trump for lowering black unemployment, creating opportunity zones
in black neighborhoods, funding black colleges, and who are
extremely contemptuous of Democrats who do nothing for blacks
except make them victims, and who just listen to "old black men"
telling them what to do.
The problem with RCP and Fox News is that they only cover domestic
political news, and I need international news. So I go to the BBC,
but unfortnately the BBC also mostly covers American poltical news.
And it's almost entirely left-wing because the BBC receives funding
from the Democrats through NPR. I wrote several months ago about how
the BBC simply lied in their coverage of impeachment hearings, and I
knew they were lying because I had watched the hearings live. The BBC
completely lied, over and over and over, repeating what shithead Adam
Schiff told them to say. The BBC obeyed its lord and master.
So it's hard to find good international coverage. American news sites
like MSNBC and Fox News are worthless. Al-Jazeera is also left-wing
in covering American politics, though it's a lot better than the BBC.
Also, the BBC even covers international stories with an American
left-wing slant, while al-Jazeera covers international stories pretty
much straight.
Among news services coverage of international news, I find AP is
slanted left but, much to my surprise, I find that Reuters is
actually pretty straight most of the time.
