this news channel is the best because i agree with it and it doesn't make me uncomfortable

People on these channels discuss very serious matters in a very childlike fashion. Everything gets blown out of proportion because it's hard to fill a never-ending channel with content. Let's hear what Mary S. in Chesterfield, MO has to say on Instagram about Donald Trump saying "drat" in an interview. If you wait around 15 minutes, they'll tell you what common garden flower can kill you.

why do americans always say this?

it's not hard to fill a channel with content that's ridiculous just look at the al jazeera america station there's a never ending supply of serious poo poo that needs to be talked about it's just that american corporate news isn't interested in journalism very much

they would lose most of their geriatric viewers because great aunt betty doesn't want to hear a serious discussion about why the current growth of china is unsustainable. she wants daily affirmation that kids today are awful because they spend more time looking at iphones than the bible and wants to hear that the main reason why it costs her entire social security check to fill the tank on her 1983 cadillac is because a black guy is president.

yeah for all of fox news's faults you can take solace in the fact that the vast majority of their viewers, and cable news in general, are all old people

Also if you want to watch some SERIOUS NEWS we've had that ability for decades, it's called C-Span.

but no buttfucking tumblerites and pronoun watchers can't get faux enraged and overly dramatic about slow conversations happening in real time and therefore want the same type of entertaining news that fox news offers but from their own political perspective.

Also ask AlJazeera what they think about a bunch of Jewish Americans who pay regularly large amounts of money to help preserve and restore important historical documents like the Declaration of Independence. You'll hear poo poo like you're at a Klan rally.


AlJazeera is just another type of conservative brand of news because people who want to appear worldly for vanity reasons will willingly accept conservative stances on things like freedom of speech(conservative stance says it's bad) if it's coming out of a non-westerner's mouth.

When you read or watch the news, you should be using your brain and thinking about the information being presented to you rather than accepting it wholesale. You have to think about things and then make a decision from there. If it took Fox News to teach people that lesson, good on them even though that was clearly accidental and not their goal. I guess that's the nicest thing that you could say about Fox News: they taught some people a valuable lesson about not just swallowing horseshit blindly.
