Labeling? Or an accurate description? They all think alike, and they surrounded themselves with the same. That's why we get the non-journalism we get. It's so bad they don't know how bad they are.
As for Democracy, a healthy and proper Democracy requires a healthy and free-thinking Fouth Estate.
We. Don't. Have. That.
These cookie-cutter, bubble people fond of parroting narratives, yet self-proclaim as "journalists", are the root of the problem.
In short, I was being kind.
As for "news", Fox is not alone. Across the board, grade school level op-ed is passed off as journalism. They focus attention on irrelevant things that happen that don't qualify as news, yet there there are (sucking up eyeballs). Fox is not the only who practices this.
Fwiw, my filter for "fake news" is not truth or not-truth, but also relevance and importance. When a prestigious news outlet is channeling TMZ, the question then becomes, what are they NOT reporting?
