Since Donald Trump made his political appearance in 2015, there have been two distinct political realities in the U.S. In many instances, these realities are diametrically opposed. Did Trump win or lose the 2020 election? Were the actions at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, a peaceful demonstration or a violent attempt to prevent the transfer of power as per the Constitution?
This is an ill-informed commentary, but what else should we expect from partisans on the Left?
I am a regular viewer of Fox, and I also read and view several other sources of news. Fox definitely presents the Right’s agenda, but usually has diverse viewpoints well represented by mainstream Left thinkers. You get both perspectives in most segments on news shows.
On opinion shows, it is usually more biased, but that is fair because you know that when you watch it.
There are no Left wing opinionists with their own show at Fox, but that is fine because you have dozens of other shows or other media that ably provides those viewpoints, however misguided.
On the Left, it is extremely rare to see Conseevative or “MAGA” opinions presented. The best that is typically offered are classical Republicans or “Never Trump” Republicans who no longer represent that Party’s mainstream.
But opinions are one thing, news is another. How come the Leftist media ignored so many important stories to American voters when the stories made Biden and Harris look bad? I can give you a long list, but start with the border crisis, the crime crisis, men competing against women in sports, men going into women’s and girl’s locker rooms, the botched Afghanistan withdrawal, Biden’s mental decline, etc?
Still living in a fantasy world I see G. Believe me, we all know you're a regular Fox viewer. Your take on them is beyond laughable. Trying to make a false equivalency between them and other networks works about as well as the ridiculous ones MAGA cult members try to make between Trump's lying and, well, the entire rest of the world. What network was such a propaganda mouthpiece for lies they got successfully sued for hundreds of millions of dollars? Just one, Fox. They're lucky that's the only one they've been sued for. If you had even a sliver of interest in the facts you could look up what they were saying behind the scenes. They know they're lying, they are simply trying to lead their audience where Trump wants them to go, and they openly discuss it among themselves. Just Google "What was Fox covering on January 6th?".
Fox doesn't have diverse viewpoints. They occasionally have Mayor Pete on, who scorches idiots like Sean Hannity, but their show with five idiots (including quite possibly the biggest idiot on the air-Jesse Watters) typically has either five Trump sycophants or four with one liberal who tears their lies to shreds...only to have them just resume their lying. Kind of like what you force me to do repeatedly.
Yes, the news program is less slanted than the knuckleheads like Tucker, Sean, and Laura, but that's like saying JD Vance lies less than Trump. Is it true? Sure, but it's still a hell of a lot of lying, and a hell of a lot of slant.
Your closing paragraph is typical; clearly you don't get much mainstream media, as plenty of attention is paid to mistakes by Democrats. In some cases, the mainstream media gives the MAGA cult ideas for how to attach Democrats because they DO raise concerns.
Unlike Fox, NewsMax, etc., who never say anything less than fawning about Trump.
One easy way to spot a truly brainwashed MAGA cult member is when someone mentions transgender athletes. It's a tiny issue that Kamala Harris wasn't even talking about, but MAGA's dear leader has brainwashed the cult that it's this huge issue. Even here in NH there have been controversies, and there were TWO transgender athletes in the season people were talking about.
Men going into women's and girl's locker rooms? I assume you're talking about Trump doing his peeping Tom routine at pageants, right? When he was peeping at not just young women, but in some cases underaged girls? Yeah, I'm sure that you're well aware of that and would completely denounce Trump for that criminal behavior, just like you have for all his other criminal behavior.
You, as most MAGA cult members do, embody the term double standard. Anything Trump does is okay with you, anything a Democrat does is horrible.
Again, there is no crime crisis. The "migrant crime" scare is a complete Trump hoax, just like the 2020 election steal claims. You just keep parroting lies.
Biden's mental decline? I'll let you in on a little secret, Trump's already much further along the cognitive function process. He lives in a complete fantasy world, no facts can penetrate his dull mind, and he has to surround himself with people that repeat those lies and bolster his ego. He even has a woman who goes everywhere with him whose sole job is to find favorable stories about him to show him.
Biden has moments of mental glitching, but I have a friend whose nephew is a Senator and talks to Biden regularly, and he's still very sharp. Sharper than Trump has ever been, which isn't saying a whole lot, but even when Biden's mind glitches he's living in the real world, unlike Trump.
I suggest you leave the Trump fantasy world and join us in the real world.

Rupert Murdoch has done irreparable damage to the United States.
