So you simultaneously acknowledge that infotainment acts without regard for ethics & morality, but then Thx owes some sort of accounting of what immoral & unethical actions they are involved in?

You keep accusing me of making up stances that you haven't taken (even though you HAVE taken them), and then you openly make up stances for me, that I never expressed.

ThxOne directly stated his beliefs about these media outlets and their immoral, unethical, or illegal, actions.
I am asking him to show us what these alleged actions are, and explain why he thinks they are.

Why is the right so afraid of having to back up their claims with facts? Why do they consider it out of line to ask someone to back up a claim?

Keep in mind the term "infotainment" came about originally because of the John Stewart show and the clones that followed. It was never intended to be a blanket term for news organizations themselves.

Hold up there Cowboy... ThxOne did no such direct thing. You better stop assuming shit again.

I also asked you what channels, stations, news entities you call infotainment. I didn't ask for a damn definition moron. If you don't even know what companies you are calling infotainment then how can you call them that?

Nope. It's a Lund 2450 with a Merc inboard, a 25HP kicker, and autopilot.
Ever been on the water next to a 730foot freighter? It's pretty humbling.

Amazing how it doesn't bother you in the least to be wrong so incredibly often.

Cool, here is my boat at my ex-brother-in-laws house in Ga.

What's with the fake quote at the end? You can't just make a quote and claim I said it. That would be the type of reporting I am talking about. It's is not ethical or moral.

There are literally dozens upon dozens of networks out there.
Any of them that provide both info and entertainment are infotainment providers.
Some do it as their overall theme, some do it with individual shows.

You asked for ONE. If you wanted me to name a specific ONE, then you should have asked me to name the ONE you wanted to hear.
And if you already had choices in mind, why did you ask me to name one in the first place?

Well FOX is the most watched news source in America. Probably for good reason.

Did you know that Fox's own attorneys argued against them being a news network in an effort to defend themselves in a slander lawsuit?

Did you know that Fox is regarded as one of the most dishonest networks out there?

Did you know that right wingers tend to watch infotainment that will reinforce their existing beliefs and viewpoints, whereas the left will look to more sources to get accurate info?
That explains why Fox gets higher ratings with their high level of dishonesty.
