I don't agree with Fox news but they are generally a legitimate news source and really shouldn't be compared to stuff like terrorist propaganda.
Generally they aren't. Infotaiment plausibly.
Just because you mix a smattering of fact with logical fallacy does not make it legitimate, yet people believe it... if that doesn't fit the bill of "propaganda" I don't know what does.
Selective reporting and the style and tone of presentation matter.
This election was a big switcheroo. Historically, FoxNews (FauxNews) had very biased coverage and not much balance. Now CNN has taken their place. Their webpage reads like a scandal sheet. Everything that Trump or the Republicans do is wrong. On Fox you'll see some criticism of Trump.
I think it's explained by the fact Fox was always ambivalent about Trump because there's a base/establishment split in the Republican Party. CNN was "all in" against him from the beginning.
Not really... Sean Hanity, one of fox's biggest draws, was arguably actively campaigning for Trump.
> had very biased coverage and not much balance. Now CNN has taken their place. Their webpage reads like a scandal sheet.
Yes CNN has become infotainment, MSNBC is slightly better. Your comparing having an agenda (CNN) to outright spin, refusing to cover relevant topics (Fox).
CNN looks like a scandal sheet because we have had nothing but scandals and controversy for the last 100 days.
It's not that different from the lies that extremist recruiters/leaders spew to gain supporters.
It's also 6pm on a network news channel.
