Fox News, Joining The Liberal Fake News...

Newsmax app gives me way more than I have time to watch.

If it’s free and on your phone, they are mining information to sell.

We got rid of cable a few months ago, we now stream mostly free and still get all we previously watched before, i like the idea of not supporting the fake news channels

What if they promise they wont be evil?

What if they promise they wont be evil?

Better question. What if they remove that promise?

Fox News readers belittling the Presidents spokes people, they hate you...

Does anyone know, if I am watching a channel on DirecTV (AT&T) do they know that? Does it go toward channel ratings?

Is your receiver connected to a phone line or internet line or WiFi?


EDIT:
It used to be that the receiver was just that - a receiver. A phone line was required for it to phone the mothership and let them know if you watched any PPV content.

But, I haven't had a satellite TV setup for over a decade; it's probably changed. The last service I had was FIOS.

Now I have Netflix, which knows everything I (well, mostly my wife) watches.



I refuse to connect my TV to the internet.

Yes. They all do. Cable. Streaming. Satellite. Free air was the only one where they had to rely only on ratings.

Thanks. I thought that might be the case because I saw some ratings somewhere that was talking about watched within so many days of broadcast.

They all must have had the same thoughts at random!
Weird!

In 5G, television will connect itself to the internet

Wow. Normally, they alter the words or ad-lib a little. Strange to see them all parroting the same lines nearly in synchronicity.

Only strange because we don't usually see newscasts from different localities lined up like that. I bet it happens a lot more than you would think.

Media bias is a myth I have been told.




Makes you wonder who is giving the media it's talking points... (we know)

This is extremely dangerous to our democracy.

If those broadcasts are contemporaneous, then I don't think you can discount the existence of a single source for material and wording that they were all drawing from. If the broadcasts cover a number of days, a copy cat effect might be more likely
