My homepage is Google news and when I open it I quickly glance at the headlines. I'd say 9 out of 10 times, I can guess it's coming from Fox.

For instance--- I guessed this one right today. "Clinton More Popular Than Obama, Poll Shows".

1. Fox and Politico. Is Google News being manipulated to show them so prominently?

2. I have the same problem with Yahoo mail 'cept the source is "AP"

Part of the problem is you have mostly right wing controlled media and what little media is not uses right wing propaganda to rabble rouse their audience.
