Both of you for some reason list CNN and Fox in the same category, is there a reason for that?


It is because I'm a Brazilian and from here what I see is that both are right wing media companies working hard to keep their riches richer. Also, the major Brazilian media company has born from the same group as CNN.


CNN is basically the unofficial Democratic Party mouthpiece.

The Democratic Party isn't traditionally "left-wing", but it certainly seems wrong to call them "right-wing".


Yeah, and here in Brazil, the right-wing is the unofficial US Democratic Party vassal, starting by Globo (CNN-affiliated). Here "liberals" are not considered left-wing but right. Sanders and a few would be considered somehow left wing here, but not that much.


This is in line with much of the rest of the globe, the USA does not really have a functional left wing, just two right wing parties one of which is - slightly - to the left of the other.
