There was a thread "Where do you get your news?". I need to go back and look at it, because I really do agree that the slant on all the channels is getting out of hand. I do NOT like the way FOX is reporting on the war for example. If I want a particular "spin" I want to CHOOSE it-not be fed it if that makes sense. On Lou Dobbs-DITTO! Paula Zahn-LOVED her on FOX, but never watch her anymore since she went to CNN. I thought she was one who did ask the hard questions, but her slant has changed.
I'm getting pretty fond of Greta Van Susteren. She's entertaining and has varied opinions but her issues are more sensational than political.
C-Span is just so dry. I try to watch, but end up turning the channel. I guess a good percentage of us LIKE to be entertained and there in lies the problem. Straight forward reporting doesn't always result in high ratings and ad dollars. It's like the Communist Manifesto in a way-keep the people entertained and the issues won't be closely examined. So, in a way, I and people like me are a big part of the problem. No matter WHAT the choice- conservative or liberal-we like to be entertained.
