Agreed, but news talk shows like Hannity, Maddow, Meet the Press, are just people with opinions not actual journalism. They are this forum with better paychecks.

Maddow just argued in court that she is not relaying facts but opinions.  This was in the case of OAN vs MSNBC where Maddow said OAN “really literally is paid Russian propaganda.”   OAN argued that they are not paid by Russia.  The judge said it's up to the viewer to determine when Maddow is giving facts or an opinion.  Maddow won the case, so you can now safely disbelieve everything she says.
