Why would you believe anything he says?

Why would you automatically assume he is a liar?

He publicly praises Trump and his accomplishments.

In private he says he hates Trump passionately, says his presidency was a disaster, and that there really isn't an upside to Trump. We know this because a bunch of his text messages became public as part of a big civil suit against Fox for defamation over Carlson and other Fox hosts' public claims.

It bears repeating: the security posture of Signal app is as only good as the operating system it runs on.

Signal app has one of the best security posture of all instant messengers.

Cannot say much for operating systems unless it is bare minimally used and its attack surfaces have been all but eliminated.

I can imagine this is true of any news anchor.

because of all the lying.

Self-contradiction and idol-worship of some and abject hatred toward others... shows that he observes nothing but his agenda.

plus, his agenda is his "act for money" legally speaking.

I also know Ana De Armas isn't able to speak for Marilyn Monroe. I would not trust her if she tried to.

Why believe anything msnbc/cnn says? Russia, Covid origin, vaccines, etc. You should decide for yourself what to believe in than anything said on left and right leaning channels.

I don't the the US has any mainstream left leaning channels. MSNBC and CNN might have some socially liberal takes, but they never provide airtime for left economic policy discussions. When it comes to those topics they are squarely pro corporate, privitization, financialization on industry sectors, etc. They give very little attention to workers rights topics, labor unions, crimes of big business, etc. Neither do the FOX News type channels. All of their funding comes from the same sources, mega corporations who also don't want airtime provided to left economic policy discussions. Corporate media has narrowed the area of acceptable discourse. And eight corporations own 90% of all media consumed in the US. There is a big filter of acceptable discourse that is intended to lead the public to the conclusion that those are the only topics worth discussing.
