This election was a big switcheroo. Historically, FoxNews (FauxNews) had very biased coverage and not much balance. Now CNN has taken their place. Their webpage reads like a scandal sheet. Everything that Trump or the Republicans do is wrong. On Fox you'll see some criticism of Trump.
I think it's explained by the fact Fox was always ambivalent about Trump because there's a base/establishment split in the Republican Party. CNN was "all in" against him from the beginning.
- zer00eyz 10y ago> Fox was always ambivalent about Trump Not really... Sean Hanity, one of fox's biggest draws, was arguably actively campaigning for Trump. > had very biased coverage and not much balance. Now CNN has taken their place. Their webpage reads like a scandal sheet. Yes CNN has become infotainment, MSNBC is slightly better. Your comparing having an agenda (CNN) to outright spin, refusing to cover relevant topics (Fox). CNN looks like a scandal sheet because we have had nothing but scandals and controversy for the last 100 days.
