I know this will come across as a bit of flame-bait, but: What is the point in comparing two crappy news sources? Neither is worth spending time on. Also, more on-point: Are they looking only at news, or are they including opinion?

It's disappointing, but just a fact of life now, that people will see the world so differently. People have always had differing politics, but there was a semblance of a baseline. I feel like we need a generation that strikes out against the notion of identity altogether (as I think identity is a core part of the issue), but that already feels like an identity in itself.
If you want to call some nonsense, or a bold face lie, have the damn courage to just call it that. Don't air-quoting some nebulous entity to make it sound more official.

I see people complain about identity politics all the time, but when it comes down to it, the individual issues that fall under that umbrella are things that people deeply care about and can’t just be dismissed.

I see the problem with there only being two lenses through which to see. Think of all the things we must be missing!

How did you form that conclusion? I think the history of this country itself forms the greatest counter example to this point.

This feels like misplaced austerity. Human beings living their short lives absolutely have the right to their own identity, these are natural rights and desires.
This idea that we're going to fix this problem through deeper collectivism and removal of the individual instead of addressing the obvious problems of mass communication in our society is somewhat frightening to me.

It's mostly above board, if biased.
The non-opinion parts of Fox are not that bad but it's more rare.
My bet is they are looking at headline coverage both news and opinion.
I think this is a really worthy excercise so that we can see a bit more methodologically what kind of bias happens with selective coverage.
The tone and content of the coverage matters a lot.
Almost all of the editorial is bad on all sides. They have some insight, but it's so biased you have to hear other people talk in order to contextualize it.
I "really hate" how some "news" sites like to, "quote excessively" in headlines. If you want to call some nonsense, or a bold face lie, have the damn courage to just call it that. Don't air-quoting some nebulous entity to make it sound more official.

Because they're the two biggest news sources?
CNN is chronically last. FoxNews is invariably first.
