I try to watch fox now and then, they are so ridiculous that I have to go back to CNN and MSNBC to get the real news.

And anyone who doesn’t agree with everything he says only seems to badmouth him and twist the story to fit their agenda.

Something needs to be done here news people act like they can say whatever bad things about our president and it should be outlawed. Trump is doing a a+ job and the ones saying he ain't is the fake news ones. Patriotism is not the Liberia way they hate our country. Maga2020

They're all human, backwater, so naturally their opinions are going to slide in sometimes, whether they mean for it to or not.

But what I've learned in teh last several years, by reading the facts (like Whitehouse press releases) and then comparing them to the news articles, is that right-wing media is almost always slanted, where at least CNN mostly sticks to the facts.

The story of CNN's viewership being down is just one of many examples. A direct quote from Breitbart:

While no one in the media want to talk about it, CNN’s relentless fake news sprees have not only created a massive credibility problem for the hate network, the far-left cable channel’s ratings crisis is even more severe.

CNN lies.

Yet that's nothing but a very slanted lie, based on cherry-picked data to make it sound like CNN is doing poorly.

I hope president Trump cancels CNN an all these fake news socialists only fox tells the truth. Need to be just fox then all this negative stuff would go away and everybody can see he's doing an a+

I just usually do not listen to TV or watch,but I have been attentive to the weather down east where some family lives.I remember when we thought the news was real but when Walter Cronkite changed his views on the war in Viet Nam my outlook changed. Now about everyday news flash about Kim K or her sister showing skin on the world wide web.

Honestly, I have never watch Fox News, CNN, or MSNBC. I just read my news online. But apparently all 3 have about 1 million viewers a week.

Of course, there's no way to know how many people flip across all 3 networks, so that could really be 300,000 people watching all 3 networks, for all we know.

Out of 300 million people in the US, that's really nothing for any of them to brag about...

This is significant proof of how the right-wing media, and even Trump, flat out lie. The first quarter of 2018 showed their 2nd best quarter in 10 years:


And then the second quarter of 2018 was their 3rd best quarter in 23 years:


This is quite the opposite of what Brietbart and Trump would have you believe, when they keep saying that CNN's viewership is falling and that CNN is struggling.

It's true that the week of May 7, 2018 was 29% lower than the week of May 7, 2017... but those are cherry-picked dates, with the second quarter of 2017 being their highest viewership ever:


This isn't to say that CNN is on top, by any means! Fox still has the #1 spot, and CNN and MSNBC flip back and forth between 2nd and 3rd. But the point here is to show you how Breitbard and Trump both cherry-pick to make lies seem like a fact, with the obvious intent of misleading their followers.
