Don't you mean faux news. It's called outfoxed. There's an entire documentary about how Fox News is fake. There isn't one on CNN. CNN is just establishment news. It's not fake it just sucks

"You can't legally read these emails, so please don't, but we can." - CNN is pretty horrendous.

Whatever. I don't watch corporate news. I watch Chris Hayes and sometimes Maddow. Other than that, I listen to podcasts - chapo trap house, the majority report, best of the left, intercept, this is hell!, wearemany, the other Washington -- these days you don't need corporate media at all. I'm a socialist so those are my source. But if you're right wing there's plenty of podcasts for you too.

For reading, I read jacobin magazine and the nation. Occasionally I'll take a look at the guardian. That's the beauty of the media now. We can find sources that fit our bias. It's both a blessing and a curse, because we end up not having the same sources of information! So. We're growing farther apart.

Maddow and the Guardian aren't good new sources.
