Completely agree. I don’t watch Fox any longer because they’ve gotten so bad. They used to be a voice in the wilderness but now they’re as unabashed as the other side. 

I was really hoping CNN would follow through on their pledge to rebrand back to their old days when they fired Jeff Zucker. CNN has worldwide brand recognition. It’s a shame they continue to squander it for partisanship.

The majority of people in "journalism" are left leaning which is fine, I don't care what your politics are if you report fairly, but left leaning now requires activism while subscribing to the philosophy that the ends justify the means to be a part of the club.  It apparently didn't back in the day even though they were predominantly still left leaning philosophically.  The media essentially has a deep state just like government does, where the majority of people who choose non-elected government as a career are also left leaning.   #resist baby! 

You can dislike Fox for doing the same thing in the other direction, but they are still miles better and more fair than the other side or at least have been over the years.  And let's make sure we're not conflating opinion shows with actual news reporting.  I've seen enough headlines on CNN through the years that are written through the lens of a leftist.  I don't have nearly as many examples of such happening at Fox.  That said, I don't watch cable or network news much anymore anyway and haven't in some time so my analysis of Fox's recent behavior if it has changed may be off.
