2. CNN and MSNBC Both Suspend Reporters for Journalistic Failures

For example, MSNBC recently suspended a reporter for a retracted report on the attack on Nancy Pelosi's husband.

Likewise, at CNN, even a well established personality like Fareed Zakaria was suspended for what appeared to be a plagiarized report.

In contrast, did anyone at Fox News, News Max, OANN or Infowars get suspended for either their reports of election fraud or spreading vaccine misinformation? To the contrary, even while they claim they are offering "fair and balanced" news, when defending defamation lawsuits, even Alex Jones has quietly argued that he is only offering opinions, rather than stating any facts:
