Wow, Paul, you missed about 80% of the story here.  No major network news source is as overtly political as FOX news is (but you failed to bring on the problem on the right side of the spectrum - it's only a left thing, is it?)  Oh, and FOX has a wee bit of a problem with sexism to boot, doesn't it?  THAT certainly gives them credibility... 

Also, isn't it the case that the reason gun control advocates have to go third party for gun death stats is because the pro-gun lobby has forbidden the CDC from compiling and disseminating such data?  So you mock the source of their data in your article yet you ignore the whole reason they have to go "somewhere else" for it - the successful political influence of the NRA.

You are certainly right about the rapidly increasing influence of fake news and the political leanings of some news outlets, but to then portray this as a "left" only problem is missing the forest for the trees.
