I know this is antithetical, seeing we're discussing this on DP, but I find American "news" to be far too political in content and slant. Sometimes news is just news and you don't need three talking heads telling us how it affects Washington or the Presidential primaries.
I'm old enough to remember a time when the news was actually news at least for the first 20 minutes or so, and then you got the human interest stuff and then maybe some political stuff but not non-stop Presidential politics and who's running, who's not and how does this bit of news affect their decision to run or not run.
I always stayed away from cable news for the same reasons and found newspapers to be better but that's no longer the case.
I watch a lot of BBC now though. I find they take a very "these are the facts" approach.
