Not really. There are not degrees of journalism. You can't be failing and then set the narrative as "Well look, they're failing worse than we are..." That's not the way it works. That's not okay. That's not a system worthy of trust.
Democracy depends on a healthy and proper Fourth Estate. We don't have that. Full stop. Even if you believe CNN and MSNBC are better than Fox, the former are still failing to fulfill the responsibilities of The Fourth Estate. Worse is the fact that they're ignorant of their obvious shortcomings. And yet they shamelessly spin a narrative that pretends otherwise.
Flip it anyway you want but it's an industry fueled by Dunning Kruger.
