Good point.

Still; not too long ago we were talking about how horrible Fox was for doing a story about Mr. Rogers.....when NPR did the same story. To me this says that you're more concerned about conservatives being lied to than non-cons.....which is where my confusion comes in.
It's not about what stories are covered, it's how they're covered.

I didn't hear the NPR version of the story, so I can't comment on it.

I don't know....

Sounds like these guys are pretty self serving. But I guess it's all about what you want to believe.

Court documents show Wilson conceded "there's not really a lot of difference between" their script and what was approved by their managers.

And Sugg wrote that the two had been fired by the station for repeated acts of insubordination. That was the station’s position. The reporters claimed they were fired for being whistleblowers. The station prevailed when an appeals court ruled the state’s whistleblower statute didn’t apply.

I guess the end result is to recognize which news outlets can be trusted for something resembling truth, and which lie or ... interpret the happenings in ways that mirror a particular objective.

This all presumes the existence of truth - the existence of lies is easy to determine, but truth is another matter

All news on tv now are based on opinions and lies. That's why I don't watch it.
