    “They made commitments to address bias and restore fact-based reporting. I think that’s so important,” Carr told Newsmax’s Greg Kelly on his show Thursday night.

    So sick of these assholes for whom “fact-based reporting” means “lies that promote fascism” and “fake news” means “true reporting.”

      CBS was already pretty terrible about giving both sides airtime and attacking both sides equally… even when the evidence was clear that one side was in the wrong or there was additional context left untold. And it has almost always benefited the right when they do that.

      So I actually agree. They should go to fact-based reporting. But I’m guessing my idea of fact-based reporting is different from theirs.
