They are not the same. CNN is poor news organization that has left bias especially in their opinion pieces and from their talking heads so give their opinion on the news. The actual news itself isn't great and they don't have the highest standing but they are attempting news. Fox news is not presenting news they filter everything with their opinion and agenda. A better comparison for Fox news would be the daily show who is also not a news group. The only difference between those two is to daily show is sometimes funny.
I don't watch CNN because it's bad news. I don't watch Fox because it's not news or funny. I sometimes watch the daily show for humor not news.
Anyone who is watching fox news for balance is kidding themselves and needs to find better news and stop watching it. People should also stop watching CNN and they will improve or away. Hold yourself to a higher standard for news, it exists and is readily available.
Also repeating that Trump is sticking up for truth makes you look bad when the majority of statements he makes that are verifiably are lies. He is trying to suppress truth.
Also calling things left or right makes you sound ignorant. As well as calling the fake news a left problem. It's been verified and there are facts that it is happening all over the place. Including a huge push towards people who supported Trump during the election.
There is the left, the right, and the sane. There is clearly a left and a right. They arent all exactly the same but often are on the same side of things. I see no reason to not call it out.
The right is guilty of its own fake news. I admit that. But I'm on a left leaning site that refuses to admit that the left is guilty of these things as well. So that's the fight I'm taking up. Why join in and bash the right with everyone else? That's not going to solve anything around. Also, the biggest discrepancy in truth out there right now is how the left is reporting things. There is a lot of divisive race baiting untruths being told. Its tearing the country apart. Its threatening people that you either conform or we will destroy you. Thats not freedom. It isn't right. Its this ridiculous idea that we should fight racism with more racism. Ya, count me out. I know, only white people can be racists. Ive heard it before. Not buying it.
