So do I, but are you implying that the so called left do not prefer fake news as well?
Years ago, respectable news departments had real reporters asking hard questions with minimal spin. An editorial was labeled as such so that there was little doubt it was an opinion piece. They had hard nosed reporters based in international locations that were physically challenging. The really good reporters then assumed the old maxim that all governments lie, Vietnam, et al.
All that's been cut away for sensationalism and ratings by the 5 to 6 corporations that own the Media.
I'd say the biggest problem is Faux's journalistic standards are the Big Lie. At minimum their primetime slots. Because Faux/Republicans thing is about lies & conspiracies, it requires a certain amount of pricks to do that. Ghouliani, Gates, MGT, Trump, Kelly Anne Conway, "Gym" Jordan. There's many many more on that end. Then there's Rogan, Hannity, Tucker, Ingraham, Coulter, Dobbs, etc. That end goes on forever too. People even Republican voters would be hard pressed to admit they like. Seems the conservative media's whole schtick is fear, hate, and conspiracies. That's their platform to winning elections. Not deciphering what makes them a better choice. They have far too many political actors and not news reporters.
Now the left don't discuss policy, but they do have journalism regarding the behavior/character problems of the people above. Because they're lying so much they just use it against them. Across the board they seem to maintain some level of news reporting. On the dickheadery from the right.
The silliness I find is this desire for this pure journalism where it's this objectivity. That ain't happening on either side. CNN isn't going to report the bad their people are doing. That's not how it goes, but conservatives will cry about it saying it isn't fair. Even though it's their f--king job over there at Faux Noise to report what they're up to with some semblance of investigative journalism.
