Nobody who proclaims that their job is to “provide a global public service and a common editorial stance” (France 24) is going to be thinking about reporting the news.

Fox has leaned further left of late in its opinion programming, but merely because they aren’t “Fox World News” to a sufficient percent for (with all due respect) your taste does not automatically undercut them altogether. Many countries are not friendly to reporters from agencies that are not on board with the “global” left-wing view and are generally pro-American and pro-Israel.

And to say CNN is more reporting than opinion is, again with all due respect, just ignorance about what CNN is.

I understand what you are saying. At the same time I urge you to actually watch these various outlets from time to time and decide for yourself.

I am no apologist for CNN. I can’t stand CNN. But - I monitor them.

I have met, on various occasions over the years, Fox’s people in Israel. (Usually one or two.) They are, in fact, dubiously “pro-Israel,” ill-informed, with lousy contacts, and unconcerned about misleading their viewers. I do find Fox to be irresponsible: wealthy and lazy.

By the way, I will re-state that as someone in the periphery of the “news business” and as an unapologetic Zionist, I do believe that France24, generally, has the most complete and unbiased coverage on middle east issues I have yet seen. And - I do not work for or with them.
