They brought the white, corporate point-of-view, but were always lagging on issues of progress. But they did follow basic principles of journalism. I don't recall them ever going with doctored photos and quotes out of context.

We need a diversity of voices. But we cannot tolerate networks that platform kooks saying that vaccines cause autism, without a shred of medical evidence to support that. We can't have networks that cut off quotations, just as they are getting to the point that they refute the agenda the network is pushing. We can't have networks that repeat the same falsehoods over and over and are never forced to correct their lies.
