All this talk about bias News stations ... I am just wondering who watches news versus reading a newspaper.
I personally prefer reading articles as its slightly more indepth and not just 2 minutes of headlines.
If so, what newspaper do you read or other news source.

All TV and All news print is Conservative bias. I do not watch any USA TV or read any Conservative propaganda in the news. I do listen to PBS radio and the BBC news is great. I also listen to Art Bell. I love any Sci-Fi movies. Ben, Laura and the Britts just dumbed Bush and the War in Iraq, 7500 less troops. Blair has agreed also to dump Bush's war. The Port Security Bill passed today by Congress and the President will not detect a nuke bomb. That's the real news. Also the ports are still owned by other Governments not ours.
Bob Ney will go to prison and his actions should not be considered that of All Republicans. He should resign. Jeb Bush got e-mails from Foley. They have been released.

I'm addicted to every news station on TV except Fox.
I will give Fox 5 minutes at times, just to keep an
eye on the enemy.
Here's a little info, just for consideration - Joe Scarborough
tested people who watch the nightly news, the late night
talk shows & Jon Stewart to see who knew the most about
politics - Jon Stewarts audience turned out to be the smartest.

I get my news from the Tribune as well as reading news over the net on sites like NewsMax.com. I apply my own rational filter, knowledge and common sense on every bit of news and don't take most of them for granted word by word. Facts are generally easy to check, opinion is what sometimes is passed as facts and you need a sharp mind and trained eye to discern between the two.

You are right about the tv news. It's nothing. I read the New York Times and listen to NPR

I watch CBC, Fox News, NBC, MSN, and try to catch BBC. On line I go to JPost, Honestreporting, and a few others. I also get the local paper and read it.

you know what's really skerry?
I get most of my snippets of news from the Jon Stewart Show or from Madison on Sirius.
I know, I know... ignorant, but humorous
Also I try to find the middle ground between Fox and NPR.
**Somewhere** in there, there has to be some truth.

several...fox, cnn, msnbc, abc, nbc plus print...local, state...wall street journal, new york times..and i also do research in print and media and including internet when i am interested in a particular subject or hot button issue....thats about it. i don' t rely on just one news source to form my opinion on anything, i seek the truth and sometimes as you well know that is difficult to find especially if you only limit yourself to a couple of news sources....my experience has been if you want to make an informed decision on anything first and foremost do not take at face value the popular opinion of the hour...and certainly don't argue a point based on limited knowledge of an issue...if its important to you then you better find out the truth...to me its better to know the truth and to seek it out even if i don' t like it than to base my principles on a lie.
