Notice MT has taken no issue with the 20% racist white trash number.

I would say a small percent of any group is trashy

My family in Illinois is deep redneck. Like barely out of the 1800’s.  With 1980’s hair.

I blame your cousins, which are also your uncles and aunts.

Fox News anchor Shepard Smith says opinion programming on his network doesn't "really have rules" and exists "strictly to be entertaining," in an interview published Thursday.

"Some of our opinion programming is there strictly to be entertaining," Smith told Time Magazine's Daniel D'Addario in a piece titled, "Shep Smith Has the Hardest Job on Fox News."

“We serve different masters," Smith, 54, added when discussing the difference between the opinion side of Fox News, including shows such as "The Sean Hannity Show," and the network's news division. "We work for different reporting chains, we have different rules. They don’t really have rules on the opinion side. They can say whatever they want. If it’s their opinion."

Are there people that don't view the cable news shows as opinion pieces?

I don't disagree that there's an element of bias on every cable news show but there are varying degrees.  There's a difference between the coverage on his show and the heavy propaganda that's regularly pushed on Fox News primetime.

Of course they are different but it seems like all the cable networks are heavily editorialized. I just thought it was widely accepted that they were.

No doubt that each show plays to a narrative but some play more fast and loose with the facts. I mean, it is remarkable that you have an anchor who basically admitted as much about the network that employs him.

It’s feels like it should be illegal to even call them news networks. They don’t investigate or send anyone into the field. They don’t even really talk about news. They are political propaganda networks and should be required to call themselves that

It should be but our elected officials are OK with this kind of stuff. They love collecting data on us.
