mastress of procrastinate Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 We have BINGO! Come up with some points... Where is the Glenn Beck of BBC? Where are hosts of other tv stations regurlarly exposing their stupidity? I could link you to several videos where Glenn Beck is acting like a lunatic. Or where fox news host are nicely presenting their ignorance. Give proof. Simply claiming something is, well, not valid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, all stations have biases, either to the left or to the right. Mind you, we're not talking about international news like the BBC or Al-Jazeera. In the United States, the news or at the least the slant of the on-air talent is either liberal or conservative. Fox News is far-far-far right. MSNBC is far-left. CNN is right-leaning. NPR is left-leaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastress of procrastinate Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Beck is not the news,it's his opinion.You got that? Next. No, I haven't. I a total idiot and my intelligence is even lower than Palin's. /irony off. I think it tells a lot about a tv station that hires souch an douche. And, what about the point fox news hosts being more or less idiots? OH NO I HAVE FORGOTTEN, FOX NEWS IS TOTALLY FAIRLY BALANCED!!! That is why they are NEVER criticised. Not, that this channel would promote hate speech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is impossible to be 100% unbiased, even when coverage is tried to be entirely neutral the choice and intensitiy of coverage can be biased tendencies. So no station qualifies as un-biased, while Fox News is probably disqualified at the very first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

betteremily Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Link Tv has some informative news coverage and documentaries. Cnn/Fox/Msnbc... all same..except for a slightly different agenda. If any of you want to further educate yourselves on the matter, do a little research into media filtering. BTW, whats the problem with Al-Jazeera?

jabe Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 To me, most political news is not news, but "editorializing" of current political events. MSNBC usually runs a 180 from Fox. CNN veers off on another branch of the tree. I enjoy listening to as many takes on an event/situation as I can. Where one sees red, the other sees cerulean blue. My favorite source of political news is reading syndicated columnist editorials from the two newspapers I subsribe to. Wide range of opinions on the same topic. One can also check out the Matt Drudge website. The site has scores of well known lefties and righties who contribute interesting perspectives.
