disappointed with CNN and Fox....wht's the alternatives?

[rnch]

CNN is all about personalities now, Fox's "fair and unbiased" news coverage is nothing but the lapdog of the bushbarians....where does one go for balanced, unbiased news coverage?





where is the walter cronkites, eric sevarides, huntley and brikleys, edward r murrows (spelling,i know!) of our time???

 

[saint808]

Try the BBC

why expect fair coverage when covering politicians that are nothing but liars and a farce? that makes no sense to me whatsoever.

I watched Hillory on Fox today, imo they gave her a very good interview, as a matter of fact, if she got better treatment on the network channels I'd be surprised....

the days of just reporting the news are over, they all have a slant. At least with Fox, they do give the dems a forum to speak w/o interrupting them in most cases, maybe with the exception of Hannity. O'reilly, if the dem is teling the truth and making valid points, will just ask the harder questions that they may hear, but he lets them speak. If they start to lie and duck and dodge, he'll call BS on them and that's the difference in O'reilly. The CNN's of the world won't hammer them in any way and just let whatever they say pass with no opposition even when they know that's not the truth...

How'z about watching a number of different outlets and forming your own point of view from what you've gathered?

Watch the News Hour on PBS. Very unbiased. They bring in both sides of issues, but they don't get the freaks.
http://www.pbs.org/newshour/
In WA it's on at 6pm.

Newshour? What are you 75 years old?

[Pat_McCrotch]

elitefitness.com has a lot of unbiased news reported on it.

Chuck you farley, it's the most unbaised, no hype news out there. I don't get into all the sensationalism on the other chanels. And you won't hear anything about Lohan, Spears, or Hilton.

And Charley Rose is a different show.

 

[myway]

I don't watch the news. I read a lot but that's about it.

the australian broadcasting commission (ABC) was excellent for this. they crucified lots and lots of politicians, it was great

I have never really found anything wrong with Fox. And every time I ask someone to point out how it is a mouthpiece for the current administration there is never a solid reply.

Sure, the owner may be conservative. Sure, Hannity may be an idiot. When you compare to the alternatives, it is the lesser of pretty much every evil.

 

[tracemhunter]

I just use yahoo news. I don't watch news on television because I don't give a shit about any of the anchor's opinions. Just give me the news and shut the fuck up.

 

[billfred]

I do the Daily Show and the Colbert report.

Just enough contrast there to keep it real.

Other than that, I do CNBC and read the Wall Street Journal. Everything else is crap.
