Gee. And there I was thinking it was Bill Gates and the 5G network.
So many conspiracy theories, so little fact.
Unfortunately Fox News is one of the more non-trustworthy or biased networks, and that is saying something in these times of personal opinion pushing journalism. Now blaming the man their preferred President appointed to be his spokesperson! Seems a case of sour grapes because he couldnt control his facial muscles listening to press conferences sometimes.

Chaos, mayhem, confusion. Good my job here is done
TheHeaths I watch several news outlets. ABC through to Nine and Fox/Sky. Sky news is by far the most balanced over all. Sure they have a few right wing commentators. But they also have a few lefties as well. Go to the ABC and you have all lefties and no right wing commentators at all. Then you have the Headline grabbers like News.Com. Who's headlines often aren't even related to the story.
The key to watching any news is to start as a skeptic and end as a skeptic. Take out the politics and I still read more on the ABC site.
But how many of them have reported much, if any, of China's moves in the South China sea? Some conspiracy theories would have you believe China knew what it was doing by 'releasing' covid-19 into the world societies. Their actions now seem to confirm that with them taking advantage while everyone is preoccupied with covid. Conspiracy? Maybe. But then again maybe not.
The clock is ticking and I'm of the belief that China is going to give us more to worry about than covid.
Then again it may all just be a conspiracy theory.
Seems to be quite a lot of differing and plausible conspiracy theories going around. Hard to pick which is right and which is wrong. I'm still sitting on the fence.

Ha Ha ... Sky Balanced??? !!! .. That's the best laugh that I have had all day ....
Not regularly. Just enough to convince me of its bias. It just gets me worked up so I avoid it by choice. Better than arguing with the radio I suppose. Perhaps we all choose the ones that we agree with.
I don't buy Murdoch print media or watch any of the free to air news bulletins. (Ch 7/9/10/SBS or ABC)
Most of my news comes from selected on line sources like The New Daily & The Guardian Today. I get one or two bulletins from each on a daily basis along with a few articles from The NewYorker and a couple of others. I occasionally watch the ABC News 24 Channel that SWMBO has going almost continually.
Oh yes, my morning Goodmorning Google Home gives me a short grab of news from ABC & Sky etc.
Do you watch/listen or read ABC or SBS or any of the above regularly?
edit .. forgot to mention that ABC local radio runs in background almost continuously ... with regular news bulletins of course.

I don't buy Murdoch print media or watch any of the Murdoch BS media. The fact that he wants Scotty from Marketing to pass a law so Google and FB support his crumbling media empire is a joke. But hey he will do what he is told, as Murdoch media got him elected.
Cupie radio in the car is always on the ABC. I read Sky, ABC, News.com and Nine news on the web. On TV ABC news is at an inconvenient time for me. I watch selected Sky programs. The likes of Rowan Dean, Alan Jones etc get right up my nose. I like Richo but we don't see him as often now days.
I don't buy the 'Murdoch conspiracy' stories. Murdoch is a convenient whipping boy for some. The ABC still has a lot of good stories. It's just like those on the right at Sky when folks on the left at the ABC get going I turn off.
I get annoyed when folks think one news source is black or white when they don't watch them anyway. My philosophy is to watch whatever suits but watch them as a skeptic and understand any motives or bias. Ignorance is the enemy.
Stewart what about Rudd sucking up to Murdoch? Was that ok? Turnbull used Murdoch then turned on him using him as an excuse. Politicians of both sides of the fence use the media then blame the media later. No bias there! I just can't see Murdoch sitting at his desk influencing every outlet his organisation owns/runs. If so he's a superman.
