Is Fox News MSM?  By MSM do you mean "popular" or "left-leaning"?  I think everyone should call out falsehoods or bias in the media.  However, the "fake news" is happening much more on the right than the left at this moment, particularly with all the "election fraud" non-sense with no facts that gets pushed by the right-leaning news channels and Trump himself.  But BS should be called out and pushed back on whatever side its sitting.  Trump isn't exactly the best guy to be calling out BS.

I have a feeling Trump is the future candidate.
