Ok. But you're complaint is with the market, not with the entities that


live in the market. If they are for profit, they either live inside an echo chamber, or they are no longer in business.

The things "they regularly do" are massively overstated. For most of them, it is slanted headlining followed by reasonable articles. I think the Internet has provided more opportunity for poor journalism targeting a political market segment. Like we saw recently with CNN attacking the Don's fish feeding skills. Nobody would even have seen that except Fox and Breitbart pounded it down our throats to attack the awful MSM (as though Fox isn't the biggest MSM player).

On the one hand, better if CNN doesn't do that, but again, they are playing to their customers, and given that reality, I think OTOH we validate the over-the-top conclusions FOX tries to draw from these unimportant stories because they don't like to see the truth reported about Trump's weaknesses.

The biggest fake news issue there is, way more important than anything you'll see in the NYT, WP, CNN, or FOX for that matter, is Trump calling news he doesn't like fake simply because he doesn't like it. Stupid slanted reporting by CNN does not validate that Trump tendency in the least, unless we decide to let it. We should not.
