I agree that both are trash, but for different reasons. There is no left wing equivalent to Fox. MSNBC tries, but it's a pale shadow. It has a former Republican Congressman on for like 15 hours a week. When Fox gives a former Democratic Congressman that much airtime, we'll talk. CNN's big bias - and MSNBC too, for that matter - is that it wants to keep you emotionally invested enough to watch through the commercials. The easiest way to do that is to make you anxious or angry. So, they give you the bad news. They fill airtime with cheap to produce shows with people voicing opinions at each other. Cable news is hot garbage.

Beautiful analogy, accurate, not offensive or mean-spirited, and one of the best I’ve seen on DCUM on the characterization of our country. Thanks for this.

Are there also liberal shows that are causing these extreme views?

The "liberal pocketbook" are the blue states and urban areas that are much more affluent and where people understand "taking care" of their fellow human beings who might be in need. Washington DC has a budget reserve that puts it among the top in the United States, with a top rating from the three rating organizations, and yet, it also has among the most generous social safety nets in the country in terms of food, housing, education, mental illness and medicine, you name it. It certainly isn't perfect but it certainly isn't ridiculous where state services are concerned.

And, no, liberals do not support abortions on demand to the delivery date. That is simply fake news. In extreme cases where the fetus isn't viable or the life of the mother is at stake, there is sometimes no choice but to intervene in the third trimester, but otherwise, no one volunteers to have a late term abortion like that. Please stop posting lies.

Generic "liberals" may not, but the Democratic Party DOES. That is your problem. Deal with it.

No one is promoting abortions in the third trimester unless it's an extreme and tragic circumstance. These are wanted children whose parents are devastated by the loss. I know someone who found herself in this situation and finding a provider to help her during that awful time was difficult, because of people like you who spread lies and other extremists who do things like kill doctors who perform abortions. It has made providers who can provide this care in these awful situations scarce.

Shame on you for your propaganda that endangers women.

Also true. I wish more people would put in the work to get their news from multiple sources and think critically.

This is 100% accurate.

MSNBC has become a rehab center for #NeverTrump Bush supporters. If the “Democratic” network is Joe Scarborough talking to Nicole Wallace, Bill Kristol and Michael Steele about who the Democrats should nominate I’d rather watch Fox News. At least Fox News is honest about their agenda. MSNBC is centrist Republican neo-con propaganda masquerading as the left’s answer to Fox News. The left’s answer to Fox News is actually Krystal Ball, Michael Moore and Jacobin.

He won't try to bring the country together, because otherwise we would not win. His base thrives on fear and anger. He will keep doubling down on this crap.

If you try to polish a turd all you'll do is get sh#t on your hands.

The cruelty against women is the point for a lot of these people.

So no matter what cheating mechanism the GOP enlists THIS time, we should just roll with it?

What cheating, though? And I’m a Dem. The gerrymandering, and the electoral college system freaking suck. And voter suppression efforts too. They do. But it isn’t cheating.

Sort of like whenever a Dem wins and conservatives blame it on “illegals being bussed in” or something such nonsense.

The President has to want to bring the country together. It starts at the top.
