At least half those people are form Georgia I wish they would open the beaches here - 4 hours south of Jacksonville

I thought CNN and NYT were serious news channels. Is there a real example of a fake news article? I mean when the US president responded by "fake news" to the question from the New York Times reporter this week, all she asked for was what he did in February, right? Later on, may be not now, then I am sure we can all talk about what our leaders did in February. Most were to slow, I think. They did too little, too late. That is why too many die now, that is just my personal opinion.
Whether some of CNN's stories are "fake" or not has alot to do with one's perception of them as a news source. While they've always been suspect due to their biased/left-leaning reporting and fabricating/inflating stories, the "fake news" chants started reappearing with the so-called Russia/election hoax which CNN covered incessantly for months...years actually....until the story sort of fizzled out and whimpered away without any real conclusion one way or the other. Clearly they lean to the left - some would say FAR left, and it's the way they present their facts/stories coming from a left/liberal stance which rubs some in the middle and the right the wrong way. As an example - the fact is Trump is supporting the building of a border wall. CNN might present it as "Hateful racist Trump builds wall to keep people out of our free country" while those on the right (Fox for example) might say "It's about time we have a great leader to keep out illegal troublemakers, drug dealers, and terrorists". There's not many (or any) who can honestly say CNN "reporter" Don Lemon is unbiased, while at the same time there's not many who could say the same about Tucker Carlson (Fox). For me, it's nearly impossible to watch either without either cringing a bit, or laughing out loud - they're both complete idiots, but that's just my opinion.

Yet CNN is always getting criticism for having Trump spokespeople or conservative commentators on to present their side, whereas Fox is never criticized for having liberal commentators for the obvious reason they never have any.

More fake news.
EDIT: After a quick google search, found that Juan Williams, Jessica Tarlove, and Cathy Areu (all registered Democrats) are mainstays on Fox, with Williams being there since 1997.
And there's probably many others...

"those who listed Fox News as one of their news sources had overall lower levels of knowledge on the factual questions."
these links are to articles that were written after an analysis of a study from a few years ago. it hasn't gotten any better in the ensuing years, that's for sure.

"Far-left" "America"
You guys have no idea. The Democrats are not "Far-left". The "Conservative" party in the UK hired the Obama campaign chief in 2013. Who was a "lifelong Democrat".
America is so conservative in general.

Different definitions/meanings based on where you're from, but that's opening another can of worms.
This might provide some partial answers, and yes it's from CNN: Half of Americans think the Democratic Party has moved too far left

One reasonable question about US media bias and it creates more angst and angry/defensive posts from posters on the right than the virus itself.
Further evidence on why political topics are rightfully banned here

Chris Wallace is definitely Democrat. And believe it or not Donna Brazille is on Fox now.

And ? What does it prove ? Quoting an updated report from October 19th 2019 based on a poll of one university...skipping the second part concerning the Republicans...kind of poor, I think.

Who? Definitely not "name" Democrats. Sort of like when CNN had Paris Lenon or one other idiot to show the black Republican side.

It's sobering to think that some of these people and their contacts may possibly be dead in a few weeks time.
Time will tell, what about story from boots on the ground:

These presidentially endorsed/encouraged protests really enrage me.
This is in my state, Washington today.
Throwing a selfish tantrum that endangers everyone because of their ignorance.
Personal to me, our state had the first case in the US and we are just now reaching the flattened curve stage.
Fools.
