I don't know how you managed to do it but you literally avoided answering the simple question that sparked this discussion in the first place in the fear of creating a double-standard.

CNN at least reports negative stuff that even Democrats say. However, both CNN and Fox News are too biased. Here's a chart that was made recently. Fox News is a little hard to see, but it's low down on the "fact reporting" side just like Fox.Ā Now you see, anyone who calls the BBC or Reuters "fake news" is clearly a power-mad conspirator. Which rather explains a lot! (Now, where does The Sun fall on that chart?) Link to post Share on other sites

Most stock markets are not even government owned entities (though most have rules and regulations put on them by the government of the nation they're located in, and there's international stocks trading protocols that as are powerful as laws), except like the ones in cities such as Beijing, Riyadh, Dubai, and a few others of note.
