I think where Fox's actual news shows, and CNNs, break right or left, is in the selection of news they choose to show.  Which is, in effect, just another form of editorializing.  To me, filtering the content is really no different than making editorial commentary on the content, in intent if not in result.

I actually don't know the political leanings of a lot of stars, not that I pay much attention to them.  I know some are very vocally active, and that might make us think the rest are as well.  I agree Hollywood broadly speaking is more liberal than "America".

On rare occasion, I'll watch cable news, if a story is breaking usually.  We get a channel that shows CNN/Fox/MSNBC/BBC all at once, you can toggle between them for audio.  It's useful I find.  I have watched a while back a few minutes of the Fox News "news hour" or whatever it's called and it seems "balanced" to me, similar to what I'd see on CNN.  Where some go left or right is with their "non news" shows.

99.9 percent Left.

I have watched at least parts of CNN and Fox News "hours" simultaneously and they LOOK to be the same, usually, for major news topics, but I agree that often the bias is about editing what to show and what not.  

As for movie stars, if I have no idea of their politics, I don't know why it matters.  It probably matters to them because of blacklisting potential.

Anyway, I figure, as noted, if you find yourself watching the news and head nodding most of the time, it's probably the wrong channel for you.  Find another than makes you unhappy.  I can't tolerate watching TV news for long, I can read articles on line much faster without the ads.

Facebook is still very much that way.  Conservative speech is rigorously scrubbed, while liberal speech is held to much different standards.

That feels like more urban legend than reality, though part of the issue is "conservative" and "made up hooey" are increasingly becoming one and the same.

This is very counter to my personal experience.

They dinged two of my posts recently, which has never happened before, and neither was at all political.  One was sharing a post already posted about development in Atlanta.  The other was a link to RCP.

OK. So?

It's very aligned to my personal experience.  I don't post anything political on Facebook, indeed I rarely post anything at all.  But for my parents it's almost religious.  And I've watched factual items that were conservative in nature get scraped from Facebook.

I'm "friends" on FB with a number of Marines, most of whom post a ton of conservative stuff.  Much of it is memes that are misleading or just false, but it comes through, and then they comment on it for a while.  I'm also on with a number of baseball players who do  the same thing, a couple of them are quite conservative.  They light it up, and it goes through.

I also have liberal 'friends" who post stuff, of late it's mostly been about Project 2025.  If I note an inaccuracy in something, that goes through, though expectedly it has no impact on the liberals even if I use liberal sources for the facts.  

I occasionally post a political topic myself, probably half are left leaning and half are right leaning, just to stir pots.  They all go through except the aforementioned pair which weren't in my mind political at all.  

I know they use some algorithms to reject posts, and their programming is really weird and not good.
