Like on Hannity and Colmes, where it was obviously Hannity's show and Colmes was a stooge? Why don't we wait and see what transpires before judging how CNN treats him. Hell, Cuomo tried to be balanced to the point that if someone was on his show and spoke of the earth being a globe, he would have had a flat earther on to counter him. That is way beyond fair. That is absurd. Fair and balanced isn't supposed to mean you give equal weight to opinions of lunatics.
Right. Cuomo was so fair that he tried to dig up dirt on his brothers accusers to discredit them and spent a great deal of time on the air lying to try to make his brother look innocent. If that's your idea of balanced that explains a lot.
But, I'm happy to see that you agree that we shouldn't give equal weight to lunatics such as Cuomo. As far as Hannity and Colmes, is it Fox's fault that Colmes wasn't as smart and forceful as Hannity? Fox has a much more diverse group of news people than CNN or MSNBC do. What liberals don't seem to be able to do is to separate the news people from the commentators. The two are not the same. Hannity is not news. Tucker Carlson is not news. Just like Rachel Maddow is not news nor was Cuomo.
Wallace was news. We will see what he is at CNN. The object is to be fair and balanced on the news. The other shows can be whatever they want.

The ever increasing politicization of the media, on both sides, is a major problem for the nation. People listen to only what they want to hear. It's no wonder the nation is becoming increasingly politicized.
I agree with you that politicization of the media is occurring. And I agree that it is a problem.

Wallace was probably offered a huge sum by CNN as their #1 was fired and their ratings are in the toilet.
I'm sure he was. I just don't believe that CNN will give him the same assurances of staying out of his news coverage, guests and questions that Fox gave him.

Fair and balanced is one thing. Giving equal weight to the lunatic fringe is something different. I don't think what one does to protect family can really be compared to anything else. Not absolving Cuomo, just saying it doesn't have anything to do with his world view, or anything else.

It has everything to do with his world view. Especially since there are now allegations that he has behaved in the same way toward women as his brother did.
And, the person you accused of giving equal weight to the lunatic fringe is Cuomo, not anyone from Fox.

Let's see, I am hoping CNN is in change mode and trying to get it's act together for the next 3 years.
