15. It's news! The last thing I want is cnn to become the FOX of the left.

I want news that has all perspectives. And for blatant lies to be challenged which CNN and NPR, at least in my opinion have been doing a better job at.

Apparently even a few of the Fox daytime guys are doing some of it. But I don’t watch FOX because they show only has one perspective. If FOX ever starts being about the truth rather than Trump spin I would watch them as well.

When CNN, NPR and MSNBC start delving into the inherent challenges of Medicare for all, which they are obligated to do, all hell will break out on DU.
