I think it is true that the popularity of news organizations is in part due to how their presentation of the news resonates with their viewership. That said, what news is presented and how it is presented still influences the people who consume it. Especially once viewers start to trust particular personalities.
True, and there are certainly sheep on the right just like on the left. I always trusted Neil Cavuto, who, though he was a semi-never Trumper, always seemed to provide rational analyses. If I didn't agree with them, they certainly fell into "food for thought" territory.
He may still have reasonable analyses, but now doing stuff like cutting away from Kayleigh makes him suspect to me, which is why I am gradually moving away from Fox. Tell me you're opinion that's different than mine Neil, but don't hide info or attempt to tell me HOW to think. I'm at a point where I'm checking Fox News the same as I occasionally pop into CNN, etc. - just to get the lay of their land, but not trusting what they say and requiring verification from elsewhere.
As I have been spending more and more time at the Epoch Times, their very busy comment sections have been an interesting read. TONS of people have made comments that they gave up on Fox and the Epoch Times was one of the areas they landed. The other venues most mentioned in the comments there are OANN and Newsmax. The latter was interesting to me, as I generally haven't gone there other than through links in articles elsewhere, and have never thought of them as "big" like a cable news network. I might have to explore there a bit.
Edit: I'm still going to Fox Business regularly as they seem to be staying out of the Fox News spiral. Don't know how long that will last.
