Trust has very little to do with news any longer.
I have a strong preference for Fox News because I don't rely on trust. Fox presents the news in a reasonable matter. I take my own decisions on what impact that news has on me, my family, and the nation.
What I find most noticeable is the amount of political news content other news sources omit. It is impossible to juxtapose what Fox reports with what other news media reports when the other media reports are missing.
Fox News is the news of choice for people who think critically and are able to separate the wheat from the chaff in the news.
The massive tactics the nation’s progressives employ to discredit Fox News is ample evidence that Fox News reports correctly.
But you would concede that Fox should acknowledge its misrepresentations concerning the document expert’s testimony, right? Is Fox presenting the news in a reasonable manner, as you call it, when it brazenly lies about this man’s opinion? And how is deeming their presentation “reasonable” not an act of blind trust on your part? You are trusting that what you are hearing from them is “true enough” that you can make your own judgment, correct? But if they lie here, where else might they be lying, or at least fudging, or hiding, or otherwise misrepresenting? Unless you benchmark everything they say against multiple alternative data sources, you don’t know, you can’t know. They get in front of a camera and talk. Anybody can do that, given the financial resources to set up the infrastructure. I am sorry these questions displease you (so much so that even we with honest questions are lumped by you into some conspiratorial effort to discredit Fox), but if we don’t hold them accountable, then who will?
