Thanks...I'll check that out. I think somebody mentioned that the other day in another thread.
On TV I usually am switching back and forth between Fox and CNN. The daytime news is pretty much the same on each station. It is all those talk show hosts during prime time where most of bias is concentrated and I like you, never watch or listen to them. But like you, I am old enough and been around the block probably more times than one can count. I know when I am being feed news or news with a slant towards one party or the other. I seen it way too many times.
Well, I consider switching from Fox to CNN like switching from organized chaos to confused and discombobulated.But you're certainly not alone. Some people believe those sources are gospel. :shrug:
I'm in a minority, really. A lot of people accuse me of being UnAmerican for listening to and getting information from the sources that I do.
Today....it's damned if you do and damned if you don't no matter what ya do. There's always somebody to slice and dice what somebody else does or doesn't do.
It does seem that all of our news organizations to include print all have an agenda of some kind or another. I would imagine other news organizations from other countries do also. It probably has always been that way, only today it is far more noticeable.
Let's face it...the worlds crazy...or better yet, people just haven't evolved enough to be civilized. :lol:
Us old foggies rely on the cable 24 hours news channels to get our news. I have an advantage here in Georgia of having a 24 hour radio news channel. It is a Cumulus radio station.
There's a difference between watching it for it's humorous aspects, and using it as a basis in which to discern what's happening in DC politics or to gain some political perspective. Unfortunately, far too many young adults and folks on the political left do use it as a source of political news and gain their perspective through it.
I occasionally watch it myself, but purely for a few laughs.
Honestly, the REAL ratings are vastly different than the lefty YouTube "reporter" states. Starkly different.
Not to mention, Greg Gutfeld is killing it right now. Libertarianism is catching like wildfire across college campuses everywhere....Greg has the ear of many young people.
Liberals have always built their truths around emotion, so it makes perfect sense that they would gravitate to the Daily Show for "news".
As an example:
A news program runs a story about Secretary of State Kerry advocating the destruction of Israel.
If you then ask random viewers who the Secretary of State is then those who saw the story above could answer the question correctly but still be wrong on Kerry's views on Israel.
The Daily Show doesn't really report the news so much as make fun of the news. And let's face it, the news deserves it. They are particularly hard on CNN for being, you know, incompetent. They also, obviously, give Fox News a lot of **** for being... full of ****.

I've been hearing libertarians claim this for YEARS, and I've seen no evidence that it's actually so.

Hit a college campus.

This is really simple. Who would you rather have reading you the news? Her....
Or her...

Where do you think I get all my chicks? :2razz:
There's been a small contingent of RON PAUL types on college campuses for years; however, the claim that it's spreading like wildfire is suspect, to say the least.
Neither.
Besides which, I don't see where the attractiveness of the talking head makes a difference. Is this really your argument - Fox is more accurate because the chicks are hotter? Lot of substance there....:roll:
I would rather look at the cute girl than the unattractive one. I think being attractive is a big part of the job for a newslady.

Attractive is in the eye of the beholder, and it doesn't make the reporting more factual or less biased either way.
You're doubling down on your position of "the chicks are hotter, therefore Fox is unbiased?" :lamo
Well give me Megyn Kelly any day over Rachel Maddow. It's not even close in my opinion.

If I was some conservatives here and I was using their logic this comment would play out something like this: This means FOX sucks and it means their news is unreliable and it means that its not the truth and they suck!!!
But in reality it just means that this happens here and now and then and trends happen like this when its not around election time.
