Anderson Cooper 360 & the PBS News Hour.
Neither of these programs have an "hidden agenda".
A news program that belongs to or is hosted by an organization with it's own agenda is neither open minded nor objective.
Anderson Cooper is not a political personality.
Doesn't need the money (he is the son of millionaire Gloria Vanderbilt).
He studied Vietnamese at the University of Hanoi.
He lived in South Africa in his truck.
He has not been loyal to any particular news gathering agency.
He wanted a Fact-Finding News Program that looked at situations from all points of view, not necessarily his own, and he had the means and ways of doing just that.
The Public Broadcast News Hours.
Public supported.
That should be enough said in itself.
A NON-PROFIT media enterprise owned and operated by the nation's 348 public television stations. A trusted community resource, PBS uses the power of noncommercial television, the Internet and other media to enrich the lives of all Americans through quality programs and education services that inform, inspire and delight. Available to 99 percent of American homes with televisions and to an increasing number of digital multimedia households, PBS serves nearly 90 million people each week.
It's sad to say but MONEY and AGENDAS can shade just about anything, including the real news. The farthest away from MONEY and AGENDAS, the closer you will get to the truth.

I disagree.
Personally, I do not think there is a single news program that is without some sort of bias. Remember, news programs are not produced to share the news. News programs are produced to attract viewers which in turn drive up advertising costs during the program which in turn leads to profits to the owners of the news channels.
With that said, perhaps the most unbias news program would be the PBS News Hour. They are outside of the "advertisement $$" situation where they have to show a profit to stock holders.
Just my thoughts on your question and proposed answer.

Well, if you are really interested in world news, I would try different sources, programmes and newspapers from around the world....One example would be the BBC....British Broadcasting Corporation. It will give the international perspective that American news agencies will not, moreover, it will allow you to understand what people around the world feel about world events, how for example Europeans feel about North Korea or Iraq, about poverty in Africa or Crack babies in America. I would also try reading more extensively if I were you. The written press allows for more analysis. Television news cannot possibly devote the time necessary to understand most subjects thoroughly. Newspapers from around the world are now available on the Internet and allow one to gather information from a variety of different sources and therefore giving us an opportunity to make informed and educated decisions about the world around us. It is of utmost importance never to use just one source for information, as more often than not, we become too influenced and dependant on that one opinion and soon we cannot think for ourselves.

Gimme a damage!!! Bush hasn't carried out something for this united states except convey it to the threshold of damage. verify out Keith Olbermann on MSNBC - a lot extra precise at the same time as discussing the coke-snorting, alcohol-addled ****** it is called the president.

my opinion is if you want the facts that concern you is watch Brian Williams on abc. he does a wonderful job and seems to be unbiased unlike a lot of the news media today.
