    It depends on the nework - like Yahoo News, not much - maybe 20%, but the Washington Post, the Christian Science Monitor, al-Jareeza, and CBC, probably upwards of 80%.

    In the present? Maybe 10% or less.

    Political agendas in the MSM were always "kind of" a problem but it seems like it's gotten a lot worse over the last several years.

    Considering we only get one side of any story we can only speculate on what we're told. They tell us what they need to in order to get the response they want. We'd all be better off if everyone would just not watch or read the news and live their lives accordingly, go outside, get to know the people in your community & stop being a sheeple.

    I would guess around about 82.5735 percent of them.  

    I endeavor to be precise.

    Most of them have some truth to them. The real issue is determining whose agenda the news article is pushing. Once I see the subjective misuse of words like "rebel", "migrant", or "refugee", it's not hard to figure out whose agenda the article is pushing.

    Very very few!

    The neo liberalism project has hit the buffers!

    Only so much war mongering, underwriting the wealthy incompetents, ie the biggest welfare queens, before the ultimate cracks begin to be be exposed, akin to the Soviet Union'  failure to deliver anything other then escalating "defense" expenditure.

    Everyone was "equal" in poverty sharing!

    Since all media outlets affiliated to the wealthy have vested interests to protect, its not in their interests to expose the truth! The stock market is kept afloat courtesy of free money printing, ie manipulation!

    No different from communists shaping the "news".

    The virus is thus an opportunity from haven to cull protests.

    I think the date and time might be accurate but that's about it.

    2%. That's traffic and those tiny little murders.

    Sports, weather, politics, this covid crap is all fake.
