@XSlay4DeathX, the fact that you only watch 2 outlets is concerning, especially when Fox is actually labelled as an entertainment channel, not news and the other also lacks factual credibility.
News should be sourced from a wide variety of sources to get different perspectives but in addition, you should be aware of any potential biases.
To be fair, a distinction should be made between a news outfit and the network it is featured on. I'm pretty sure the poster you refer to isn't getting news content from watching The Masked Singer.
Similarly, you have ABC and you have ABC News. I'd be concerned if someone claimed they were getting the most up-to-date medical information because they watch the daytime drama General Hospital.
Granted, the line between information and entertainment has seemed to get more and more blurred as time goes by. I expect more competition for viewers has been a factor in this, as an increased number of options fight to attract and keep viewers' attention. and so does sensationalism.
As for your final point, I couldn't agree more. Additional sources are great, as long as they're not completely bogus. Aslon Dak: Still 'Scaping after 19 years!

"...From The 'Scape" is very nearly here.
