I find it odd that liberals will trash FOX because they hammered on Obama every day for 8 years, but then will watch CNN and MSNBC who have hammered on Trump every day the last 4 years.  And conservatives will trash CNN and MSNBC for trashing on Trump for the last 4 years, while their fave channel FOX trashed on Obama for 8 years.

People have hypocritical double-standards.

"Hammered on" needs a drill down.  FOX encouraged conspiracy theories, stories about Obama's jacket and general hyperbole.  CNN is focusing on Trump's outrageous behaviour.  I would say that's warranted but after awhile it wears thin.

Let's put it this way: FOX drifted the line most noticeably from the centre-liberal network and cable median and started putting outrageous talking points out as news.  I don't think either side is to blame but I do think that they are not equal partners in this mess - they moved the line.

With things like this, there isn't an overt fix.  I think it will change slowly over the next generation.

So you think they’re equally as honest?

Probably not.  But I also don't watch much FOX or MSNBC.

Al Jazeera is owned by an Arab dictatorship regime and just as susceptible to bias and propaganda as anyone else.  They coverage on the recent war was not neutral at all

True enough, but that's what's really pathetic.  A state-owned news company in a country like Qatar, with limited freedom of the press, is still a more reliable and serious source of news than Fox.  That's what happens when you let your network drown in conspiracy theories.

Something happened since he posted though: AJ came out editorially against Israel quite hard.

Yes it's noteworthy.
