It's only when they the commentators don't talk about something I then think it's BS <.>
the fox news didnt talk enough about Joe Biden's daughter enough and try to cause drama <.<
I was hoping that'd happen.
I love watching the news go crazy about things.

Lmao.

I wasn't saying "omg news is always fair and balanced, but they aren't". Just that they use that as a tag line to their news.

Ya'll go nuts for this stuff don'cha. :x

well...I know of some people that say "straight forward news" so all of them say BS

I switch between the two polar opposites (MSNBC and Fox) to gauge the same arguments and politics myself. I don't always agree with either's commentators. I just find myself disagreeing with Fox news on an almost constant basis now.

I like logic. I call it when I see it, and call it when I don't.

:x


I stick to CNN. Hate reactionary journalism...although CNN isn't innocent either. Just want news, not all the commentary TBH.

I was angry at CNN for a week after seeing that reported trying to debate with that "teabagger" protester =X
I get mad at any random news and try to scold them by not watching them for a little while.

Still not 100% unbiased and commentary free but the closest you are gonna get in the US is CNN, if you got access to BBC go for that.

I would prefer that any station calling itself "news" stick to only news and not commentary on said news. If you want commentary, turn to a commentary station.

But calling either Fox or MSNBC a "news channel" when their primetime linups don't feature a single news anchor or anyone with an actual journalism degree... just people ranting and commentating on the news through their own lens, then trying to convince everyone that they're the only "real news," well... I think that's incredibly dangerous for public education and political discourse, not to mention false advertising.

CNN is just about the only cable "news" network that still has, y'know... news. While I do get a little tired of Anderson Cooper's mug on the TV every night for 3 hours, I've never heard him try to inject a personal opinion.

people still get journalism degrees? I stopped watching the news when I was like 12ish cause even then it was starting to suck really. Well with a few exception like when I walked into school and they had the TV on to the 9/11 thing... think thats it really

You know... I would lend a helping hand and give some sage like wisdom for those players out there who look like they don't have a clue what they're doing; but I'm always afraid they're gonna lash out on me for "telling them how to do their job" or any other excuse they got up their sleeve to royally suck =/

That kinda grinds my gears.
