Fox News & CNN - Two sides of the same coin?

Cable news, for a very long time I have considered FoxNews as nothing more than the propaganda wing of the Republican Party. CNN and MSNBC being the propaganda wings for the Democratic Party. What they do is give their viewers their news with the proper political slant and bias for whichever party they’re propagandize for. These networks are owned by corporations which are in the news business to make money. The more viewership a network has, the more money they can charge for their commercials, the more money they make. The first task is to keep the viewership they have, hence the left and right, conservative and liberal tilts that their current audience expects and wants from them. Then they want to add more viewers.

The media has taken sides in our political battles. There’s very little trust or confidence in any of the MSM to report the news in a full, fair and accurate manner. You have this:

56% of Americans agree with the statement that "Journalists and reporters are purposely trying to mislead people by saying things they know are false or gross exaggerations."

58% think that "most news organizations are more concerned with supporting an ideology or political position than with informing the public."

and this

Americans' Trust In Media Remains Near Record Low – 36% of all Americans have a great deal or a fair amount of trust in the media to report the news in a fair, full and accurate manner. 34% not very much trust and 36% no trust at all. Which simply mean 60% of all Americans have little to no trust at all in the media reporting the news in a fair, full and accurate manner.

It does seem most Americans realize the news they’re getting is biased toward one side or the other. Hence, the three cable news networks being propaganda wings of the two major parties doesn’t bother me much. Most Americans see right through them. FoxNews job is to convert viewers to be Republicans and vote Republican while MSNBC and CNN job is to convert viewers to be Democrats and vote Democratic. Not to report the news in a full, honest, fair, accurate manner. The news is always presented with what ever political slants and biases whichever network is a propaganda wing for.
