Fox and WSJ reach pales in comparison to the reach of CNN/MSNBC/NYTimes/ABC/NBC and other traditional Democrat allied media. As for bias and being a source of reputable news, I would have agreed with you a few years ago but at this point Fox News and the WSJ are far more balanced and unbiased than the Democrat allied media. It's popular on the Left to say that Fox is a cesspool, but Fox has multiple anchors who are strongly anti-Trump and critical of him on a regular basis while the Democrat allied media is almost exclusively anti Trump and anti Republican. The depth of Democrat run media hatred of Trump and conservatives - ironic given the "hate has no home here" mantra - causes them to peddle truly egregious lies on a regular basis.

> peddle truly egregious lies on a regular basis I know that CNN, NBC, etc are biased, but I've found that their bias generally skews to corporate or US government interests. As an example, look at the negative coverage that Bernie Sanders healthcare plans received (hint it was grossly negative because it threatened their advertising revenues). As a result, I generally avoid cnn and nbc. So, I'm very curious for recent examples of the egregious lies that you've seen recently from these networks. Would you have recent examples?

> while the Democrat allied media is almost exclusively anti Trump and anti Republican. This is not correct. Pundit shows thrive on conflict (arguments), so even FoxNews will bring in anti-Trump pundits while CNN definitely brings in pro-Trump ones. The news parts of the networks in contrast put up a fairly neutral front, they aren't pundit shows at all, and if FoxNews news anchors are expressing anti-Trump sentiments outside of pundit shows, they are simply doing it wrong. People mostly view the cable news networks these days for their pundit shows, but don't confuse them.

Are you aware that using “Democrat” incorrectly where “Democratic” is grammatically correct is used almost exclusively by right-wingers presumably to make it an epithet. You’re watching too much of that “balanced” media you’re defending.
