Fox "News" is what it is. So are MSNBC and CNN. As long as you know them for what they are and take them as such, you are OK, thinking for yourself.
Personally I laugh a lot at Fox! My husband watches it faithfully and they always seem to put out real news a few days late and often manage to get
crucial details wrong (Fitzgerald vs. Fitzpatrick!). I get most of my unbiased news from C-SPAN 1 and 2 (wish I could get 3) and some on-line sources
I trust. There are some pretty good sources that cover the news from a lot of perspectives. I like BBC quite a bit. They are very deadpan, not nearly
as exciting as the car chases on Fox, but extremely earnest in putting out the news "straight". There are several on-line sources including a TV
show. CFR is really good for panel discussions on all manner of subjects and crosses ideological lines. The MSM seem to always be intent on stirring
up trouble where there is none or exaggerating what ther is . Reporters will change sides on an issue in a flash if one side of an issue seems to be
dying down. Oh, for Walter Cronkite and his contemporaries from whatever network when ther was such a thing as investigatory journalism instead of
cheap entertainment and reporters who read the party line from teleprompters!
