How can one network be so unabashedly biased and irresponsible and not get called out on it? And don't say Fox News, because they're roundly criticized by other members of the mainstream media on a daily basis.

But oh no, when Chris Matthews says that an Obama speech sent a tingle up his leg or that it was one of the best speeches in American history, that is just reporting the news. We'll ignore the fact that he is an acknowledged DEMOCRAT. Obviously I don't even need to get into Keith Olbermann, he defines an extreme leftist. Hell, I hear Matthews frame a question the other day to where it was something like, "Explain to the country why voting for Obama is crucial for America's future." Are you kidding me? This is $%&#@! Hardball?

Blatantly irresponsible, there are simply no other words.

Ok...let me ask you guys this then....what news channel do you think is mostly unbiased....?

To a certain point, I am beginning to wonder how much the media market is really trying to play the public like fiddles just to stay in business...think of how much money all these folks are going to make this election year ALONE....hell I would set up a news station myself if I knew I could get paid covering this kind of history... ( and lie a little bit too....heheheh)

I have no idea. I think Fox News is biased to the right, ABC is clearly on the left, as is CNN. MSNBC has moved to the far left.

I watch MSNBC the most, but it is starting to make me too angry on a regular basis. CNN would be a good alternative if they'd ever stop showing worthless public interest stories. However, I don't even know if i'm willing to go there considering the absurdly anti-administration coverage that CNN.com has given to the war in Iraq.

The only answer is to get your news from a host of sources. I don't like right slanted news, I just want the damn news. Just report, don't give me your freakin opinion about the speech, just tell me what it said.

I usually check Fox News and MSNBC several times a day, and I combine that with Drudge and the Washington Post. I do look at CNN.com too. The WSJ is sometimes a strong source as well.

Despite the obvious left leanings, I really love the Washington Post. At least they try to veil their bias, and don't engage in blatant agenda engineering like the NYT. I simply can't understand how people view the NYT as a fair source anymore.

I'm not trying to be a smarta$$, but if you don't want the human interest pieces and just want the brief stories, wouldn't CNN Headline have more of that. Granted, if I have it on for more than a few hours straight I want to poke my eyes out because it starts repeating.
