How about you just ignore both Fox and MSNBC?

Fox News actively reminding you why they should be ignored.

Forty-eight percent of those surveyed said Biden’s vaccine mandates go too far, with 10% saying they doesn’t go far enough and nearly four in 10 saying they're about right. But asked specifically about mandating vaccines for workplaces with 100 or more employees, 53% approved and 46% disapproved.

I don't really ignore any site. I like to know what the other side is saying/thinking.

That being said, they are some crazy mofos over there. They're just there to scare people. I will always remember summer of 2020 when they had everyone in my podunk hometown thinking Antifa was being bussed in from Houston to riot. LMAO - and it's sad how many people believed it. This country is doomed with the amount of stupid running around.

I used to keep Fox in my feed for that reason realizing they will probably have their slant on a story, but then their news stories became like 90% slant and reporting isolated incidents like it was an epidemic.

As somebody who mostly leans left I feel like I might have been immune to the left media's insult hurling at Trump, or felt the insults were justified, but the few times I've seen Fox clips in the last 6 months it feels like they are just on the edge of saying "this fucking pedophile asshole" every time they refer to Biden, and the main reason they don't is because there are still rules about words you can't use on air. Their entire defense would be "because you were mean to Trump." It's near impossible to get any substance out of their reporting.
 
My take: pick the subjects that interest you (politics, NatSec, space tech, housing, etc) and follow the actual experts/specialised reporters on twitter. They will do a good job at posting what articles and books to read, and dissecting the news.

To be fair, both sides of news media will display similar type polling on things like nationalized healthcare and taxing the rich and come to the same wrong conclusion. "Only 60% of people polled want this. Clearly this isn't popular."

The issue is, Fox isn't shy about posting numbers incorrectly & using a trusted poll to push their own narrative.

The very same people who will go after a personality on one network for posting information elsewhere that that a source got wrong, will remain unsurprisingly silent when Fox does this yet again. Not asking for Fox to ever retract that post, since we know it takes the fear of lawsuits for Fox to correct a posted error.

I used to use PRSI as my primary news source, not even kidding. I could keep up with the “other side” there too. I liked it because it wasn’t a cesspool, despite what the MR mods continually claim.

That sounds like PRSI = The Daily Show. A trusted news source, and that is frightening. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

Somewhat related, Fox both brags about their industry crushing ratings while claiming they aren’t mainstream. You can’t be the top watched news network and then try to come off like you’re some renegade public access show run out of your mom’s basement.
 
I follow Axios and AL.com on Facebook. I love reading the comments. That’s how I get the opposition opinion. There are some truly clueless, not to mention evil people out there.
 
Honestly, I kind of had to turn all mainstream news off after the Afghanistan withdrawal. Tired of the griping and whining and "this is the worst military disaster in U.S. history!" BS. The extent to which all mainstream media is a tool of the military-industrial complex is staggering. You know when NPR and Fox News are in agreement, something's up.
