Fox News is following its viewers’ sentiment; it originally favored anti-Trump stories prior to his nomination by the Republican Party. Now it pushes the Trump line, but this is due to the fact that Fox News rightly recognizes that its viewers want their biases confirmed.

As does CNBC and CNN, admittedly to a far lesser degree, except theirs is the "correct" bias.

  CNN has bias that fluctuates wildly toward the perceived flavor of the week; it operates for maximum sensationalism. It basically invented the 24-hour news cycle and hasn’t altered its formula for decades. CNBC is business news; did you mean MSNBC? MSNBC has the least viewership of the three and I would not consider it particularly influential. It is biased towards a minority ultra-Democrat position, hence its relatively lower viewership due to its fringe editorial content.

    CNN's bias is firmly anti-Trump and it doesn't fluctuates in any way, shape or form. You can go to their home page and at any point, there will be some anti-Trump headlines.

      You don’t think it’s coincidental that most Americans will click on a negative Trump article? CNN is a trend follower, not a leader in this regard.

  To be fair to Fox News I don't recall anyone in the RNC resigning because they gave candidates debate questions they were privy to as corespondents. (Donna Brazile)

    Misconduct occurs in all organizations; while pointing fingers I could make the claim that the Fox News organization is pro-sexual harassment because of two high officials’ actions (Ailes and O’Rielly). Yet this would be unfair and false. Lest ye be Roy Moore’d (or Anthony Weinered), it is a mistake to take a bad actor and extrapolate isolated statements or conduct to the greater organization without evidence of a trend. However, CNN is the topic. Don’t think for a minute if Trump or another Republican achieves greater than 50% popularity, CNN won’t swing that way. Negative coverage of Trump was en vogue before CNN started doing it, not the other way around.

  I understand what kind of people dominate here, specially considering the moderators deleting any comment that has the "wrong" opinion, but "lesser degree"? They have been outright lying to push one party agenda. Remember this?: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=15ZTiAf8fp8 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=15ZTiAf8fp8 EDIT: I understand that I have been shadow-banned here but I hope these comments will be read thousands of years from now by historians and be content by the fact that not all of the people of our generation were complete fagtards like the mods here.
