@eladar saidOther than maybe C-Span, pretty much all news networks are businesses (except organically grown networks like OANN or TYT). That doesn't mean they can't be trusted to varying degrees, but I wouldn't get my news from one source. Going to multiple news outlets helps give a better picture of events (and not just sources that reinforce your politics).
How might you increase TV ratings? Hype, hype hype.
Can News outlets who benefit from hyping stories be trusted to give the truth instead of hype?

@athousandyoung saidThat is because so many Americans are not actually libtards.
Funny how Fox and Trump always brags about their high ratings.
