Why is it, when someone bashes someone else's cable news network of choice, people get so fired up and defensive (or shall I say "triggered")?
These entities are for profit, manufactured, very intentionally designed businesses, with the sole aim of distributing information to their chosen demographic, to increase viewership and gain advertising dollars.
They aren't giving you information because they want to inform you! They are spewing non stop, opinionated information that they know you'll agree with so you keep on coming back!
So again...whats the need to defend a cable news channel?
Easy pal. Don't come bringing your facts and objectivity into a classic red vs. blue, "my tribe is better than your tribe" grandpa (grandperson?) argument. Just let the old people fantasize that, when they were younger, children respected their elders, prices were reasonable and politics was noble.
