Poop - would you say InfoWars is "Fake News"?
I'm not going to wait for an answer and just assume you said "yes".
So then, does that mean that literally every word they publish is false? Really? Every word? There isn't a kernel or two of truth in any of their stories, ever?
Of course not. But you're still right to call them "Fake News" because the obvious biases in their reporting are presented as facts so often that you can't trust the objectivity of the information you read. Same goes for CNN. You can't trust their objectivity. You can't be sure that what you're reading is a fact, or opinion. Hence they also get the moniker of "Fake News"
Fox is actually pretty good at differentiating between what information is factual, and what represents their opinion. They also have far more accountability because of their willingness to host pundits from the other side and debate.
I'm sure Jack, Poop, and Oskar are locked and loaded with YouTube clips showing all the times Fox got it wrong. But a montage of a half dozen clips pulled from decades of broadcasting is just not all that compelling. Howie Kurtz does an entire program showcasing all the biased reporting that comes from the mainstream media EVERY WEEK!
