The point is, there's NOT a news outlet, unless possibly a local one, that tells all sides of a story, backed with facts, and let's the reader decide. Don't JUST point to Fox News. It shows your hand

Personally the only modern MMORPG trend that annoys me is the idea that MMOs need to be designed in a way to attract people who don't actually like MMOs. Which to me makes about as much sense as someone trying to figure out a way to get vegetarians to eat at their steakhouse.- FARGIN_WAR
I don't "watch" news, full stop. I read news via an aggregate site.
EDIT- actually, to be specific, the only non-aggregate news site I regularly visit is The Bulwark, which is fiercely conservative, just not ignorant. Sykes, Kristol, Egger, and Last are the type of conservatives that can find compromise and avoid basing their policy positions on arguments of emotion or incredible bias.
I've already addressed why I used the example, literally in last post before yours.
I read as little news as possible in this current sensationalizing society where everything is the best or the worst, never in the middle. I can no longer watch ESPN where they search everything to make some stat sound awesome. "He got more points in the game in a 5 minute span on Wednesdays with a full moon... ever."
I also read/listen to very few reviews. No popular reviewer plays games I want to play. That handful of games would not keep them in business. Reviewers, by their nature, need to be "gamers", as in play everything to hit the digital shelves. I'm not a gamer, just some guy who enjoys very specific types of games
PS: This is a personal thing for me. I'm tired of socialists, leftists, social justice advocates making their points in nearly any conversation. It's getting worse than Evangelical Christians and their way of swinging almost any conversation to their religion, and their religion alone. I've decided I've had enough and if someone tries to insert their political leanings (though seeing right wing or Libertarian leanings is comparatively quite rare), I'm going to comment.

Those claiming socialism here in America aren't even using the term correctly, as what they advocate isn't socialism, but the social democracy akin to the countries of Scandinavia- the so-called "Nordic model." They're confused as to what they're even for, but that doesn't stop them from calling themselves socialists. The irony is that the right-wing population sees them as socialists, they seem themselves as socialists, but they land far short of being true socialists.
Asserting that seeing right-wing leaning comments is comparatively rare seems to indicate to me you're not actually looking with an unbiased eye- there are roughly as many at least, and my personal political commentary here on this site comes usually as a response to such comments (feel free to check my post history on that one), not as an invitation of such a discussion. I just don't shy away from it. You'll notice the original post you quoted used very general terms, other than citing the most popular cable news channel, to communicate the point that this two-party system has begun poisoning the well, so to speak. I feel the two parties have outgrown their usefulness to the American people.
This isn't a signature, you just think it is.
If you want a television news source on the left, there is a lot of competition, so a given network only gets a small slice of that pie. If you want a television news source on the right, Fox News is it. And if you want to be informed, you'll need to check news sources from both sides--though not necessarily on TV as opposed to other media.
