Liberal news metworks held to a different standard:

It’s not normal that Republicans can lie and spew any insults on any platform or media outlet and get away with it, whereas Democrats like Matthew Dowd get fired for being “insensitive“ while telling the absolute truth.

This is a repulsive double standard.

There are news channels that for the most part tell the truth, if that’s a liberal bias which it actually is then OK.

Conservative Cable Channels:

Fox News Channel
Fox Business
Newsmax
One America News Network (OAN)
The Blaze
The First
Real America's Voice

Liberal Cable Channels:

????
OK, MSNBC has several left leaning hosts on their evening schedule but it is nowhere near as far to the left as everyone of those conservative channels are to the right. And that's it for the so called liberal news channels.

They are a conservative cable channel too.

But you’re right about MSNBC. They have a few liberal prime time hosts but the rest of the day is a sewer.

All those others I listed proudly boast about their conservative credentials every chance they get.
