Almost all news sources are unreliable these days. You need to get your news from multiple sources just to get the full picture.

Snopes is your friend.

I remember watching the documentary "outfoxed" in 2002-2004ish. It was downright scary how almost extremely biassed fox was (and most likely still is). That they portrayed themselves as objective gave it an orwellian flavor.

Can't say much on cnn, as i don't watch it either.

In Belgium... We got the same thing, obviously, but imho far from that bad. There are some Papers being noticeably quiet on international scandals or pretend/suggest that local misery is caused by the government, but it's rather petty at worst.

Oh, and a small note: if you don't want a thread derailed, make a strong case for your argument. Starting with what you DON'T want to happen is more likely to cause it than casually mentioning it at the end.

There's a lot of fake news out there now, but Fox was the original and fakest of them all. Hell, Donald Trump started his campaign on Fox with the birther lie, and now Fox makes up the majority of his political advisors. There really is no left-wing equivalent, either. The closest would be CNN, but at the very least they don't straight up fabricate stories like Fox does.

That's just cable news, of course. The internet is chocked full of websites meant to feed your own opinion back to you.

Good old FOX news. They are as legit as diet water. While CNN comes pretty damn close they haven't gone full potato yet.

The term "fake news" has been a thing since the printing press.

All news is biased.
