    Of course Fox is covering rats over the Epstein files. The agenda is painfully obvious.

    Little known fact:

    The rat on the left is named Stephen Miller, married to Katie. And the one on the right is actually Steve Bannon, that filthy animal, wearing his rat suit.

    I came to say that I thought it was Stephen Miller and JD Vance, but I can see that it actually does look more like that rat is Bannon. Hard to tell these rats apart sometimes.

    I don’t follow the news enough to give you specific examples, so I recommend going to news sites that specifically give you articles from both ends of the spectrum and tell you which sides are ignoring what stories. I believe Ground News does something akin to that.

    I gave an example of a place that will contain the information since I couldn’t provide it off of the top of my head. Forgive me for not being a walking library.

    I know that they do it, because I used to see tons of examples of it, but I don’t remember them specifically. People thinking that every news outlet besides Fox is unbiased and covers every event is delusion. So I offered a place that will contain those instances.

    Also, I’m not complaining about being censored. I was saying that me being downvoted implies to me that the people doing it believe that their news sources are objective and cover everything, which shows that the subreddit is largely left. Same with most of Reddit.

    8 points Thirlestane

    No one thinks CNN has no bias and covers literally everything. Not even the weirdos that actually like CNN. But comparing it to the slop from FOX is disingenuous. FOX is the only major "news" broadcaster in the US who's viewers know less about reality then people who don't watch news. It's a propaganda outlet actively trying to cover up a scandal for the sitting president.

    The fact someone mocks FOX for its propaganda and the first thing you think is "but cnn!" says a lot about you.
