    I just think it’s important to have your facts straight.

    Then why didn’t you? The fact is that even what they call “news” is still extremely biased. The fact that it’s “less” so, compared to commentary shows that are so far off the deep end that I’d have to invent new superlatives to adequately express how biased they are, does not change its position on an absolute bias scale.

    You called that shit “legitimate,” and that just isn’t true.

      Are you really getting your panties in a bunch because I’m not agreeing with you hard enough? Or is it that you’d rather virtue signal than acknowledge facts? The main takeaway of what I originally said is that Fox has never said in court that their news segments are entertainment that has no obligation to stick to the truth. The person I responded to made that claim and it is factually incorrect. That argument only applies to what they call their opinion segments. If you take issue with that then you’re ignorant of the facts and that’s all there is to it.

      If you want to interpret the rest of what I said as an endorsement of the quality of their news segments then that’s your own business. Those were clearly relative statements which you are choosing to be intentionally obtuse about so please take this opportunity to take the rest of your unnecessarily hostile comments with you when you fuck off.
