Thanks! Realized in another thread you had already pretty much outted yourself. ;-) Gee, I wonder how many of "us" are on here?
When TV was scarce and free, there were few choices, and left of center journalism ruled the airwaves. It was a good balance to our longtime tradition in this country to slightly right of center politics. Today with 200 channels, straight journalism has taken a back seat to editorializing and confrontation. It's about "entertaining" the mindset of your narrower target audience. I believe the current style of news reporting supports the polarization of this country's politics, and the gridlock on Capitol Hill. It's how CBS went from Murrow to Couric.
What about Ryan Seacrest... ?
One of the responsibilities of a citizen in a democracy is to be well informed of the facts and to participate in the process.
We should all cherish our right to discuss politics and religion. People in totalitarian countries do not have that privilege.
Many of us have family and friends who have fought and died to protect these freedoms.
We also should not allow ourselves to be be excessively distracted from fulfilling this responsibility by entertainment and/or propaganda media pretending to be factual and objective news.
Why would any responsible citizen in a democracy watch a news source such as Fox News that is so widely documented as being extremely biased?
Below is another example of FoxNew’s “fair and balanced” and “accurate” reporting.
BYW. Obama did not attend a Muslim school. Obama is a Christian, not that it should matter.

Because all news reporting is biased no matter what is professed or how hard they try not to be. I trust my own judgement. I prefer to have news reported with opposing biases. I find that the most informative.
You might want to balance the Fox neo conservative propaganda with a news source from the other extreme.
