Exactly. Anyone saying "both sides" has never watched them... They all have one thing in common, greed. If it makes more money, they'll televise it.
Your statement is non sequitur. You say they aren't the same. But then flip to explain exactly how we were implying the same. Or at least exactly how I was implying they were the same. Though I assume the other person intended similar. I think we agree far more than we disagree here. And that this should just be marked up to another example of the wealthy poisoning democracy and discourse. Making people feel a reflexive need to always be on defense than not able to legitimately criticize. Because let's be clear. Even if we often find what CNN and MSNBC do to be more acceptable or less damaging. They're still doing it.
Where did I disagreed with you. All I was adding is that fox is in it to push dangerous ideals and greed, MSNBC and CNN are in it for greed.
