I feel like I just recently posted an infographic on the whole CNN vs. Fox News thing. Why are we doing this again?

No one says you have to come back to the thread to discuss issues when they are brought back up.
However, to answer your question:
A poster pointed out a relevant example of Fox News perhaps rightly printing stories where CNN apparently ignored them. This is likely because the CNN Anchor is the brother of a governor who is the centre of the story which was being discussed in this thread.
The infographic you posted is interesting! However it doesn't mean new stories that come out related to it can no longer be discussed.
I feel like that is common sense though, so is it what you asked?

*sigh*
We're not debating the accuracy of CNN vs. Fox's reporting. The criticism of CNN and MSNBC is that they tend to bury stories that are damaging to establishment Dems.
I definitely wouldn't recommend Fox as a solution to that, but if you're only getting your news from CNN, MSNBC, NY Times, and WaPo, you're probably missing out on some newsworthy items.

I tend to follow specific journalists more than publications, but David Sirota, Matt Taibbi, and Ryan Grim generally do a good job of covering the Democrats without just being blind cheerleaders.
In the podcast/youtube realm, I'll listen to David Pakman, Sam Seder, Katie Halper, Kyle Kulinski, etc.
All of these people definitely lean more progressive but they do a good job of sourcing their content and presenting it with as much context as possible.
EDIT: I shouldn't say those are my only sources of news. I definitely follow NYT, WaPo, etc., but they're a better alternative to Fox News if you want objective reporting on Democrats.

Suggesting they lean progressive might be the understatement of the thread. Grim and Halper are terrible though, the rest are decent.

They should give Trump is twitter back for one night. And if he rips into Cruz, he can keep it for longer.

I think Grim is fine. Halper can be over the top. If you asked me who I actually like out of that group, I'd probably go with Taibbi, Sirota, Kulinski, and Pakman. I think Taibbi and Sirota are two of the best journalists in media right now.

There were two major news outlets in the old soviet union, Pravda which is Russian for 'Truth' and Izvestia which is Russian for 'News'
The old joke used to be 'there's no news in the truth and no truth in the news'

Canadian can't even handle a little cold weather, while his citizens freeze in the dark. What an embarrassment. Does he have anymore weak ass excuses he'd like to trot out?

The raptors are testing the fences now. They want to know if they can be @#%holes and get the support of Trumps base or if they have to put in more work and convince the supporters that he or she is "our @#%hole" like Trump did. The problem with Cruz is he was already branded lyin' Ted so not an ideal test case.
P.S. Mods delete this post if somehow my self-censoring is still a bit too naughty
