Have you ever watched Fox News and CNN side by side?

Asked by mazingerz88 (29344points) April 27th, 2022 from iPhone

Curious as to what you saw and what you think about it.

Had the chance to do this while at a gym this week and the two TV screens were showing Fox News and CNN doing live broadcast sometime around 3 pm.

The CNN news segment was about the war in Ukraine while Fox had a “Biden’s Border Crisis” segment, showing several male border crossers with tattoos. No other border crossers shown, just these tattooed males.

There was no audio and no subtitles. How the gym management wanted it to be I guess.

No I haven’t.

I think watching both the Fear Unbalaced network and The Most Rusted Meme in News at same time might be bad for my health.

And yours too, maybe.

Not necessarily side-by-side. But I do sometimes watch Fox out of curiosity.

I don’t watch either. They are feeding you whatever they decide is best for their ratings and bottom line. Not a way I want to be informed.

No, because I don’t want my head to explode. I dip into CNN most days and Fox occasionally but I mostly watch BBC.

@flutherother Thanks for mentioning BBC. Reminded me that I want to try it. Mostly watching PBS.

BBC News is highly questionable these days. It appears that they’ve gotten in bed with the Tory party.

@Pied_Pfeffer I’m not sure that’s the case, after all it is the Tories who have announced that they would abolish the licence fee at the next opportunity.

@flutherother Don’t believe anything that they say.
