I have had little interest in politics but find myself turning on Fox news and CNN nightly to see the update on the saga that is Trump. The Americans I know just put their head in their hands at the mention of his name. How does he survive so many calamities in such a politically ruthless country? Why am I drawn to this car crash TV - that is not a gender reference by the way! Right off to watch Fox propaganda !! |

"Fox and CNN are obvious in who they support and lack any objectivity. BBC the same?"
The BBC does something right in that the people on the left think the BBC is too right wing... and the people on the right think it is too left wing!
Fox News is there purely for comedy value, but it doesn't disguise who it it playing to... their is a reason why they actually block sky news (which is its sister station) from being shown in the states... because it would make them look even less impartial than they already are
I watch MSNBC which does play to people on the left..but not as overtly as they have brought In a few right wing commentators recently
CNN is CNN and tries to play it down the middle... but just like the uk there aren't really that many people in the middle anymore |

Go on to youtube and watch 'the young turks' they give a different slant to that coming from the mainstream media. I would also recommend Trevor Noah on comedy central, the monologues of Stephen Colbert and Seth Meyers closer look on The Late Show and of course our very own John Oliver on Last Week Tonight. Satire and sarcasm at there best!

I saw Chris Cuomo deliver a commentary on Trump and have to say he strikes me as someone who gets it but he was abused by republicans in the comments section. Truth seems to be a commodity at the moment |

The only person on fox I can watch with any seriousness is shepherd smith.. and he is always reminding people there is a huge difference between Fox's news division and the hosts they put on in prime time
I think him and Chris Wallace are the only two proper journalists left at fox |

Lol, if you're going to watch any Young Turks videos on YouTube I'd recommend the Young Turks on election night. Comedy gold as they started off so smug and confident that Hillary would win and as Trump gained more and more states all the Young Turks reactions as they went off the deep end into meltdown was just hilarious!  |

I'll for one will enjoy watching the whole corrupt Trump empire implode around the lying sexual predator. Unfortunately, I think the GOP will be forced to by their other corrupt backers to step in and protect him. After all if he goes then a precedent is set and the next to go could be the Koch brothers or the Wall St bankers who defrauded the world and that will not happen without another revolution. |

Don't watch Fox - it's not just biased but is hell bent on securing right wing madmen like Trump taking everything for the rich, whatever the cost to the masses and the environment.
The even richer people like Koch brothers behind the scenes are very dangerous potentially for the world. The very rich have spent £billions in propaganda against global warming, meaning the world will suffer bigger calamities.
Trump is not alone, hence the drama of his stupidity will continue. He seems a very stupid person |

ALL those corporations are as bent as nine Bob notes, I'll agree that CNN and MSNBC are better at it than fox who just frankly doesn't give a shit about what people think of it but they ALL had full live coverage of an empty trump stand with generous commentary from 30k a day presenters like Rachel madeow.... While at the same time that there watching an empty trump stand and waiting for him to appear 100,000 +crowds are at a Bernie Sanders rally... Yeah they spent five minutes discussing what little chance Mr Sanders had of winning his primary???
Anybody that thinks main stream media isn't bias is a deluded fool |

Yep. You are 100% right. I watch MSNBC but I was so disgusted with their constant coverage of Trump during the campaign that I didn't watch it again until well after election day and even then only because it's the best worst option.  |
