Really? Provide us with the studies you speak of.

Balanced source? If the garbage, racism/xenophobia they peddle is your definition of balanced then we really need to get you away from that stupid TV and see the world and what really goes on out there.

Emotional children? I think you need to look at that buffoon sitting in the White House and the protestors who came out yesterday, show up at his rallies, fall for everything he says and like every tweet he spits out. That’s a bunch of emotional children there.

Like I said don’t need to be a leftist or a rightist, that’s the easy part. Common sense is harder to attain for people.

to quote “the president isn’t an elected king no matter bombs he can drop, because the Constitution doesn’t trust him, he’s a servant of the people.”

So when normal people (whom you call emotional children) see elected officials doing dumb **** be it left or right then it is our duty to say something and not just follow like rats following the Pied Piper which Fox News supporters are great at doing.

I can't find anything that says that, but I can find A LOT of stuff that says otherwise. You might want to start diversifying where you get your info and doing your own due diligence. Every press release you want is available on YouTube or CSPAN unaltered and you'll get more useful info in a shorter time than watching any of the major networks

All that graph tells me is that Fox News is quite a bit outside the norm in terms of criticising the president. Most outlets are critical because...well because they should be. Fox is less critical because they like the president no matter what practically.

Being fair doesn't mean 50/50 good and bad news. Being fair means criticising whenever it is warranted. So...my takeaway is that Fox is less critical. No kidding lol.

just stay in your basement and keep watching Fox News. You seem to be pretty good at it.

When most people think of the term balanced news, I'd imagine most typically associate it with political biases not tone of news coverage. This graphic is associated with a study from the Shorenstein Center about the tone of news coverage during trump's first 100 days. Obviously CNN, which is left leaning (how much is up to debate), would have more negative coverage. While Fox, right leaning (again how much is up for debate), would be more positive. However tone of news coverage doesn't fairly correlate to political biases.

Personally I prefer The Onion. Publishing fake news before it was cool!

Nothing says you snowflakes living in your liberal bubble can't stay in your parents basement in fear while the rest of us get back to living life.

The liberal point of view is listen to experts and use data to open the economy in a smart way. It is not the consensus point of view that we should cower for months.

You think I like that my job is hanging by a thread? You think I like not seeing my friends? Heck, if anyone is not at risk in the first place it’s young people. Young “snowflakes” as you say will be the first furloughed, they have the most debt and least money relative to income, and yet are the least at risk of illness. We do this for the older and weaker because it’s the right thing to do.

I may very well be unemployed because of this, but sometimes you give things up for the greater good. Maybe you should consider that before attacking blindly.

That's funny.

IDriveJets

finally someone who thinks with logic and understanding of reality.

by the way you guys who attack are comical. Anyone who disagrees with you is automatically assumed to be a liberal.

I’m a conservative and even I think this whole scheme to reopen quickly is stupid and dangerous.

Would I really be in a rush to send my toddler to school right after a pandemic or have her play with other kids and risk house to house infection? Would I want my wife going back to work and having close contact meetings?

The economy won’t bounce back like never before overnight. This country needs ******* surgery not a bloody bandaid to recover from this.

You lot are too selfish to understand that sometimes we have to endure the bad for the greater good.
