"I have said this many times over the last few years: the goal of any news organization should not be “balance”. The goal should be truth. Balance should not be the pursuit. Truth must be the North Star."
Yes sir! You hit the nail on the head. Too much pussyfooting around under the guise of "fairness". There is no "fairness" in news; that's what alternate truth was // is all about. Bullshit. #newsjunkie
HOUSE OF THE BIG LIE
"Fox's Reporting Fail: On one of the busiest travel days of the year, with the country in a heightened security stance as millions hit the road and air ahead of Thanksgiving, Fox News recklessly smashed the panic button and stoked fear from coast-to-coast. In the early afternoon, the right-wing network went live with a dramatic report from correspondent Alexis McAdams. McAdams declared that there had just been an "attempted terrorist attack" at the international bridge connecting the U.S. and Canada in Niagara Falls, breathlessly reporting that a "car full of explosives" had exploded at a border checkpoint. That report was placed atop Fox News' highly trafficked website and sent as a push alert to millions of phones via its app. The network went all in on it, even baselessly speculating on air about Islamic terrorist groups. It was careless — and it was wrong."
