re: #420 Talking Point Detective

I don’t see Maddow, PBS, NPR as being anywhere near as exploitative as Fox News, Hannity, O’Reilly, CNN, the network news, etc. Obviously, that opinion could be influenced by my ideology - but I think I could make a pretty strong case that the first group I mentioned does a much better quality of investigative reporting. And the left of the ilk such as Maddow don’t have nearly as much to gain from exploiting tribalism - because the audience on the left for vapid reporting just isn’t as vast.

Having an orientation in your reporting and exploiting tribalism are not necessarily the same thing.

I agree with these points. However the original DK poster’s point was that watching Maddow et al. is just as destructive and tribalistic, and helps evul korporashuns. And apparently KT agrees with this point (and wants to make a point about LGF’s reporting).
