I think that would be highly beneficial to all.

For all that vote no because they don't like Obama, hold this in regard; This has absolutely nothing to do with his presidency. This has to do with the fact that fox and cnn manipulate stories to better fit their Ideals. I.E. conservative and liberal

I think that they meant that in some situations Fox can be conservative and others liberal. It all depends on what their viewers think. That's how they get viewers, by appealing to both sides. Looks like you don't watch as much news as you say you do.

It can't be liberal, the owner of the station is a hardcore conservative.... It's been on the news, the only thing the reporters on the show say are things that he would support.... So if they said anything somewhat supporting liberal ideals, then they get canned

All news stations manipulate their stories, some biased conservatively and some liberally, which is expected from a corporation that has little incentive to be "unbiased." But what they all have in common is that they all promote fear, you know, so you'll think you need to tune in more and that by watching you're becoming more "informed."

@KickAss Hey duck shit, I think the polar bear covered this, like TWO fucking posts above yours....

It sounds like you just read the first independent clause of the first sentence of my comment, thinking that was my whole point, rather than just a reiteration of a generally accepted statement to preface my actual point, contained in the dependent clause of the first sentence and the second sentence of my comment.

@duckshirt It sounds like you just read the first independent clause of the first sentence of my comment, thinking that was my...

Umm, your whole point was a pointless.... Polars comment covered it all. EVEN IF other stations use same methods as fox, fox uses it much more often. Independent dependent blah blah, I'm trying to sound smart interdependent comment!

@KickAss Umm, your whole point was a pointless.... Polars comment covered it all. EVEN IF other stations use same methods as...

I'm not an Independent. I didn't indicate my political views in any way with that post because, unlike what Polar's comment referred to, I am not referring to biases of different stations but rather the reason TV news sucks in general and would still suck if it were not politically biased. The point was that I actually don't care that TV news is biased towards a party because that's expected, but that I don't watch TV because all of them are biased towards fear, to get more people to watch it. Also, whether FOX is worse than NBC or not is not makes no difference to me because neither are worth watching (I switched to online sources a long time ago), which is another reason Polarthebear's comment was not relevant to my post.

@duckshirt I'm not an Independent. I didn't indicate my political views in any way with that post because, unlike what...

I didn't say you were an Independent... what you said was, they all try to get you to fear them and revere them as high beings (which if it was me, would try to get away from) but the thing is one station, tries to do that MORE than another.... btw it's MSNBC.
And I have no idea what, "not is not makes no difference to me" means. Besides online sources are just as biased as ones on the tv... people do write it after all. In addition to that, fox and msnbc both have their stories online, so it kind of does cover your COMMENT too

@KickAss I didn't say you were an Independent... what you said was, they all try to get you to fear them and revere them as...

No, I meant they are biased to instill general fear ("breaking news"), i.e., make people afraid and feel like they need to tune in more... not fear of the stations themselves. When I say online sources I don't mean online versions of CNN / FOX (those aren't in my RSS feed list, obviously) but sources that are actually relevant to my interests. They don't have this same bias of fear, because news itself is not what generates revenue for them, and the political biases they do have are much more honest because they don't have to pretend like they're 'fair and balanced' sources like the TV stations do. It also allows me to read BBC, which, even though it is affiliated with a TV station, I find a lot more interesting than American stations because it doesn't focus 99% of its attention on America, and it's run by the UK government so I whatever agenda they're biasing towards doesn't matter to me as much.

@duckshirt No, I meant they are biased to instill general fear ("breaking news"), i.e., make people afraid and feel like they...

Well I don't mind reading the BBC articles, but the news programs they have I can't stand. It's like that in any other country, really. Just reading what happened straight... I mean sure it's the truth, but meh. I commend Americans for putting a little bit of personality in their news, it makes it way more interesting. But I guess that's just me

Because all the other news channels are soooo unbiased. -end sarcasm-

Not really. Everything and everyone is biased, there's really no fix for that. Everybody who matters/cares enough to have an opinion on the matter will be at least slightly biased. And being biased isn't the same as manipulative, just FYI. I'd also say that every news station is manipulative a little bit, since they have so much of a voice and so much power. It's nearly impossible to have a news story that isn't favoring one side or the other at least somewhat.

You basically did say that. Somebody said that just because they have a lot of viewers doesn't mean it's trusted, and your reply to that was that it doesn't mean that it's not trusted. And I'm sorry, I didn't understand that you were just quoting their motto. I thought you were just putting that out there as fact. Although, if you do accept their motto to be fact, then my argument still stands.
