Lol. Let's face it, their target audience isn't very bright. And even that is dwindling quickly. Propaganda media outlets and their presstitute talking heads. I said it before, and I'll say it again. Good riddance.
I hope you're including the other TV network news outlets who do things like selectively edit 911 calls to make someone sound racist (NBC), insist on running stories based on known false documents (CBS), or who run 3-year-old syndicated stories with multiple lies in them as "new" news (ABC). Not mention the utter jokes that MSNBC and CNN have become.
Where are leftists posts when these outlets tell blatant and provable lies?

I hope you weren't speaking to me, since I've stated my position on network news profusely. They are not to be trusted. 4th estate becoming the 5th column and all.

Same place the 'rightists' are. Keeping quiet. It's easier to seek out industrial 'truth' that conforms to preformed opinions, than to think critically. Makes them feel good to be part of a collective.

Well, truth be told, it's a small miracle that there are people that seek out any sort of "truth," industrial or otherwise. Far too many Americans don't bother seeking any information that falls outside of the bread and circuses that is popular culture.
Baby steps is about all we can hope for given the sorry state of "education" in our country.

I think I'm more for throwing them in the water to learn to swim at this point.

That's going to happen of its own accord if nothing changes.
