CNN did a "story" about our town lately. They were totally biased about it and only showed the interviews that supported the story they wanted to tell. I will NEVEr watch their news again!
Are they all like that? I've heard Fox news is less biased?

Much of our media today is biased. But even more they no longer practice True Journalism and that is to just report the news. Seems to me they want to Brain Wash us to their way of thinking instead of just reporting the news and letting form our own opinions!
Don't quit keeping up with current affairs. Just don't believe every you see on TV.

It's important to keep up with all kinds of news and facts (even if you believe CNN has a biased story) because, otherwise, many people could be influenced by the wrong stories and end up believing everything that they hear. When it gets to this point then people are no longer thinking anymore. It's because of our different views on things that we form arguments and derive conclusions that can help advance humanity better than just accepting things for the way they are. Why do you think their particular storery is biased and send them an e-mail explaining- they may have made an error and they do not know unless you provide them with your opionion and ideas!

Fox News is definitely biased.

C-Span is the least biased out of all of them. CNN is in business to make money and if they have to tell a one-sided story to get more viewers, they will do it.

I think all news is biased, may it be on tv or newspapers. I do think Fox news is less biased and I believe they just tell the truth.

It's a quick source of information. For folks in a hurry and have little time to read, go to the BBC website and TV channel, and listen to what they say about a America. It's so interesting.
Also watch FOX (Republican) news channel and MSNBC (Democratic) for apposing view points.

Fox is worse, they actually sued to have the 'right' to lie, and WON! There is some video on youtube where this anchor on fox says, "I don't care if I lie" or something to that effect.

I go online to find out news, they have more trouble censoring and propagandizing that. Plus if you view overseas news you get a better idea of what is happening. The media is controlling this country.

I don't think CNN is biased, they always have at least 4 people giving different opinions.
