Good. I think that this should actually be a crime. Intentionally printing fake news. Depending what was said, maybe they can be sued for slander.

What's the issue here? News agencies retract stories literally all the time.

did Admiral make topics like this every week about Fox News retracting stories and publishing falsehoods?

for the record, i think CNN is shit and I'm glad those responsible for things like this are held accountable...but why does TC only care when CNN does it?

I don't recall ever seeing a story about Fox News employees getting fired over a fake news story.

but they've published bias and fake news stories before, so why aren't you upset about that? if you've never seen stories about people getting fired for it then shouldn't you be even more up in arms over that because of the lack of accountability?

Because there aren't other news sources reporting about how their writers are getting fired over it. Not sure why you're expecting me to post articles that don't exist.

So CNN did what they should do if some bullshit sneaks past. It is VERY rare when they publish anything false or not credible, and they did the completely appropriate thing here. Not sure what the problem is.

why aren't you upset about it though? you can only be upset about something if there is an article to go along with it? You talk about CNN being fake news without a 3rd party source saying it....why do you need a 3rd party source to call out Fox?

That's because FOX doesn't fire those people. They either promote them (Hannity) or ask them to backhandedly recant their shit.

How do you know what I am or am not upset about?

There was an article today about CNN reporters getting canned for fake news, and I posted it. Not sure why Fox News has anything to do with this or why you expect me to post articles that don't even exist. Just seems like a deflection.

I don't dispute Fox's bias or tendency to post questionable content. Just wish you'd do the same with CNN.

You're the one throwing a tantrum over nothing, and you're telling me to grow up. That's rich.

If this issue is so important to you, make your topic about Fox News' bias and stop bitching in mine.

To be fair, this measures the amount of true and false opinions on each network from pundits, not actual reporting farces or truths.

Surely Fox would even fail that measure, no doubt. Their reporting about death panels was hilarious.

By your own source, you should trust Politifact's assessment.

Anyone who has ever taken the time to actually pay attention to CNN's reporting will be able to tell that it is generally pretty good quality. You just have a particular axe to grind, and you've been fueled with support by the ridiculous propaganda tactics of our current administration.

Politifact is absolutely the best source put there. Always cracks me up when I use them as a source and the other person just laughs and ignore it. Then when you ask them to poi,t out what is incorrect about their article, they ghost away.

Politifact is a great tool to vanish ignorant people from debates.

Not sure what you're talking about, I've been saying CNN is garbage since 2012 and the Trayvon coverage. The reason I'm not as passionate about Fox News is that no one here really defends it.

The treatment they're getting now is long overdue.

Uh, that's exactly what I'm talking about. You've been mad as hell about the coverage on those stories, and that is the axe you will continue to grind. The only reason you aren't laughed out of the board with this is that we currently have a presidential administration literally utilizing propaganda tactics to try to discredit the same network.

The only reason I'm not laughed out for this opinion is that it's right. CNN is a garbage news organization that posts far too much clickbait to be considered legitimate news, and who is rightfully getting slammed for their actions.

This should have happened years ago. If Trump's election was the catalyst to get people to realize that they're junk, then at least we'll be able to say he's accomplished one positive thing.

you and i agree sometimes. it's often enough that i take you seriously when we disagree.

your main 'support' on subjects like "CNN isn't real news" is a group of posters i'm fairly certain you know are trolls from your time as a mod.
