So.

What they report has some connection to reality unlike most local news sources that just report what they hear second-hand.

Watched CNN and MSNBC last night just to see what's up. The coverage was so biased in every little detail it got me thinking. No matter how well you do as a conservative they are going to spin you into garbage and just downright trash talk about you. I mean its BAD. Better just to go on FOX where they give everyone a fair shake, even the left. I guess that's why FOX has so many more viewers than the others. Sure, they have a bias, but they're not full of poison for their opponents like CNN and MSNBC. During the RNC convention I could just tell that Wolf Blitzer was steaming when someone said something positive about the Repugs. That person would be cut off or they would go to commercial...every...damn...time. It gets to be wearying.

I'm assuming you are joking, right?

CNN America is a right wing station. CNN International is less so, but still pretty right wing. Even PBS is right wing compared to media in other democratic countries.

Fox News is so jaw-droppingly authoritarian and right wing that people in New Zealand watch it to laugh at. Many of them ask me if Americans watch it to laugh at, and I have to reply, "No, they're really that thick".

CNN right wing lol. They clearly support Obama who is the furthest left.

MSNBC is horrible. horrible. I like Keith as a sports caster, but he knows nothing about policy or economics but thinks he's smarter than these politicians. I don't even think he's smarter than Bush. And they still have these hour long stories one some obscure human interest story. How is this news? MSNBC has nothing to do with news.

I still watch alot of Fox news. I feel it's important to watch what the enemy is saying and not "comfort" yourself with people of similar view. If I did that I would be no better than conservatives who only watch fox news and listen to conservative radio. It's important to hear what the other side is saying and keep an open mind.

And Nancy Grace isn't politically biased! She doesn't cover political topics at all. She covers sensationalist news that garners high ratings, it has nothing to do with politics.

Long live Bill O Reilly! I disagree with his politics completely, but enjoy his show.

CNN is pretty nationalistic though it may seem more left-wing in other ways.

CNN in spanish (en espanol) is quite right wing too, mainly because it is quite influenced by the Mimi Cuban community.

I also watch CNN international, and it does not seem leftist at all to me.

Only by the standards of your trailer park of a country, where the Nazis would be considered moderate.

In civilized democracies where the majority of the population is not the product of incest CNN comes off as right wing.

The fact that they are furthest left doesn't make them liberal (nor are they furthest left). McCain is further to the left that Grover Norquist. That doesn't make McCain a liberal. The fact that CNN is to the left of FauxNews only means that discourse in the United States is so far to the right that real conservatism seems liberal by comparison.

Thanks, Lancer. I was having an irritating Monday morning. I needed that.
