But not all of the "journalists" that believe objectivity is passe come out of the political ranks. And further, one of the (if not the) best talking head of the last 20-30 years was Tim Russert who was Chief of Staff for Moynahan and also had held a high ranking position as an advisor in Mario Cuomo's regime. He'd hold everybody's feet to the fire regardless of affiliation. We need more like him, regardless of their background. Those days are long gone my friend. They’ve gone full advocacy mode now! They’re not even pretending. The success of Fox News put a nail in the coffin of impartiality. Conservatives no longer had to listen to badly veiled spin masquerading as news.

But Fox thrived because they offered viewers a more conservative alternative. In reaction to that success the major outlets dropped all remaining pretense and went ‘all in’ on what used to be an underlying liberal bias. No need to hide it any longer. The gloves came off!

My point is that there’s a slow evolution of ‘news’. The left was quietly hiding their bias so few knew it was even happening (just like the saying about boiling a frog). Fox comes on the scene and sucks viewership away by the millions...and rightly so. This then opens the lane for the so called MSM to drive hard to the rim with a full on left wing assault. Guys like Tibs buy it all because he remembers the day when those old school networks were reliable. He can’t fathom a world where CNN wouldn’t be the ‘most trusted name in news’ or where Walter Cronkite was forced to light his hair on fire every week just to get attention in a crowded room of talking heads.

3rdnlng Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 There is a delineation between hard news reporters and opinion/commentators on Fox while that is not true on CNN & MSNBC. Fox brings on Democrats often. The real leftists will not come on Fox because they know their ideas cannot stand up to any hard questioning. They need the softballs they'll get from CNN & MSNBC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baier and Wallace I'll watch on Fox as they're worth watching. I watched MSNBC the night of the election too and I knew they really didn't care either way as they were well aware their ratings would be higher with Trump as president. Nobody on there really liked Hillary. The shock was interesting to watch though. The only one that had a mini meltdown was James Carville which was amusing to me. 8 hours ago, Ralonzo said: I wonder if CNN will provide coverage of CNN reporters being called Fredo? That's gold.

But Cuomo just bought himself a new nickname that, in retrospect, seems painfully obvious. Father was a powerful man? Check. Successful bother following in father's footsteps? Check. Dumber brother gets things handed to him but still can't demonstrate any leadership nor sense and wonders why people consider him a goof? That's a huge check. Chris, you check all the boxes. Fredo it is. (Be glad Jim Rome didn't chose the nickname; it might've been even less PC in your eyes.)
