I’m a dork who reads about population trends with great interest but I have a feeling the Fox watchers are worried about something that I’m not. So what’s their beef? ---

I was thinking of the Bill Gates-Pharma-Vaccination depopulation scheme, which should (and apparently does) concern many right-thinking Americans. > **[Fact Check-COVID-19 vaccines are not a ‘depopulation plan’](https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-covid-depopulation/fact-check-covid-19-vaccines-are-not-a-depopulation-plan-idUSL2N2OL1XG)** > > Posts sharing information that COVID-19 vaccines are a depopulation plan are false.

> [@Euphonious\_Polemic](#): > > Bill Burr needs to realize that on the POS (pieces of shit) scale, CNN is a small dried nugget, and Fox News, is an enormous steaming pile. I’ve said before on the boards, I don’t get this “CNN is awful, but FOX is _even worse_” CNN is pretty good IMO, and whenever we ask for examples of CNN getting it wrong, they’re always pretty trivial and/or old. The kind of things that bug me about CNN are true across the board on US news; a flawed idea of “balance”, giving politicians too easy a ride and faux “pals” talk. > [@Gyrate](#): > > Which one is just sitting there on Capitol Hill?

As I continue to say, I tend to avoid CNN not because they’re biased to the left (they really aren’t) but because they’re biased to the superficial and stupid. I rarely come away feeling like the time I’ve spent watching has left me better informed about anything important. But at least they’re not actively, deliberately, constantly lying to their viewers. ---
