This is a single instance and it makes headlines. Antifa on the other hand have had dozens of large scale riots and targeted attacks but corporate media avoids painting them in a bad light. They're simply "protesters" rather than a mob.
> I don't know what media outlet is to Antifa, that is Fox News to the Right.
CNN is easily the most far-left news show. There's hundreds of videos on YouTube of the hoaxes, lies and biased news they've broadcast.
> But I'd welcome a discussion on what we can do to encourage a more fair and balanced media
There needs to be stronger anti-libel and anti-defamation laws. The lawsuits coming from the "MAGA kid" Nick Sandmann should a good barometer of whether or not the corporate media can truly be held accountable for their lies.
My guess at this point is that the media will continue to lose trust from the public because they can't ever be held accountable when they lie.

And there's videos of the Earth being flat, climate change being a "liberal hoax" and the Sandy Hook massacre being made up If I might quote from an (at the time) controversial Sony ad "you can't believe everything you read on the internet, that's how World War 1 got started" >There needs to be stronger anti-libel and anti-defamation laws. The lawsuits coming from the "MAGA kid" Nick Sandmann should a good barometer of whether or not the corporate media can truly be held accountable for their lies. America is a very litigious society, compared to the rest of the world. I'd love to see the defense for the "MAGA kid" trying to explain that wearing that hat was not a deliberate act

- pjc50 8y ago> the corporate media can truly be held accountable for their lies. Well, the defamation lawsuits eventually worked against Alex Jones.
- mcv 8y ago> CNN is easily the most far-left news show. Really? CNN has never struck me as particularly left.
- 0xcde4c3db 8y agoYou're not wrong; CNN is barely even left, let alone far left. I don't think a viewpoint can seriously be called "far left" without being explicitly opposed to capitalism. The farthest-left viewpoints you're likely to see on any of the mainstream cable news channels, even as objects of incredulity, are criticisms of underregulated capitalism and advocacy for expanded welfare programs.
