I think one point of defence for this would be that it's so obvious that Fox is biased, that it need not be mentioned. I think Joe also mentioned at some point that he used to read and watch CNN a lot (and he implied that he trusted it at the time), so perhaps this is the reason why he's now putting it down.

It's funny but true. Fox is just an aberration, I assume we all know they are not reasonable - or at least their opinion parts (and it's mostly opinion). But the rest of the press ostensibly holds themselves to higher standards. That said, I don't agree with a lot of what Greenwald has to say either.

I laughed at the Truth of this. Fox News honestly doesn't even register as a legitimate news organization for me most of the time. I actively avoid using them as a source. It's like getting upset over supermarket tabloids. Yet this organization sure had an awful lot of blood on its hands with its recent pandemic coverage and yet all I ever hear about is papers like the New York Times. Rogan himself seems to have shown a lot of sympathy for Fox News worst tendencies on this matter. The last time I remember outlets like the NYT having so much blood on their hands was during the Iraq war and that reporting was about a generation ago, AND Fox was even worse than them even back then. Yet all I hear about is the perils of the dastardly MSM and their legions of partisan so called fact checkers.

  Despite the extreme bias of Fox News - and I can't believe I'm writing this - it is still a bit less biased than CNN. I very occasionally see articles lightly criticizing Trump there and recently they had a piece talking about the pros and cons of each presidential candidate. So while Fox is 99% biased towards Trump, CNN appears 100% biased against him. Actually, I've been reading both sites in the past few months. My rule of thumb is that while each site in isolation is unreadable, whatever they agree on (which is very little) must be the truth!

    I strongly agree with this. It's hard to see bias when you agree with the stance. CNN is extremely biased and it can be seen by anyone who isn't a reactionary to everything Trump does just because he's the one that did it
