In today's world of instant social media news, media outlets are in such a hurry to be the first to scoop a story that they can't/don't/won't vet information.

For this they could/should be held liable for incorrect "news".

Most of CNN/MSNBC has lost all journalistic integrity IMO.

Why do you folks always assume that because people have a problem with CNN that they are automatically less intelligent and Rabid FOX viewers. Quite the assumption if you ask me

Denis made a statement about 2 of the larger networks yet didn't mention the one w/the highest ratings. I pointed out that Fox seems to have "less journalistic integrity" than the 2 mentioned.

Maybe he gets his news from NPR?

Watch Tucker Carlson for a week, then watch Chris Hayes or Rachael Maddow for a week on MSNBC, and then Chris Cuomo and Don Lemon at CNN, and let me know who has more integrity, and why.

I watch Tucker Carlson maybe 1-2 times a week. I've never seen a show of his where he didn't criticize Trumps behavior, and I've never seen a show of his where he didn't say to a liberal, "that's a good point".

Liberals can't ever, and I mean EVER, admit they lost a fair fight. Trump beats Hilary, it must be Russian collusion. Fox clobbers CNN and MSNBC in the ratings, they must be appealing to people who can't keep up with watching reruns of "Hee Haw".

Any of them have more integrity that Tucker. They may be liberal but they don't just make #^&#^&#^&#^& up day after day.

Jim, not sure if you've been following the news but Mueller just handed down 14 indictments for an unprecedented Russian misinformation campaign to influence the 2016 election.

I wonder if these thorough studies, were done by the same people who said Hilary was going to win in a landslide.

Fox exposes bias in most of the media, and I'm supposed to be shocked when those same people slander Fox.

Yawn.
