That's how I form opinions and make decisions on what are and what aren't
the facts as presented.

Not likely. News presented by liberal news channels has an opinion
attached to it (oh! Isn't that just like that person!). The news presented
by Fox News people has a 'you decide' as to the veracity of what they've
reported and so without comments of their own.

Yeah...on liberal channels...that's why I weaned myself from them over 20
years ago...
