I switched after realizing that I wasn't getting the 'full story' on several different topics . Also because they didn't even report certain stories that weren't beneficial to the Liberal Cause . And really, who would TRUST any network that skips news stories or only reports one side ?

Flieder - Every source you named is Liberal biased . Have you ever considered watching Fox for a couple of weeks. . . .. . . .. and then making an intelligent decision based on FACTS

The most important thing, & the reason that I never watch CNN & haven't for years is their biased ME coverage. They are the Crescent News Network.

I am a fan of neither - if anything I much more of an NPR and BBC News fan. I do watch all of them though to get an idea of what each is saying and the kind of bias they are feeding to their viewers who so gullibly accept things at face value just because a news station, owned by a corporation concerned about ratings, tells them it is so.
I personally lost faith in CNN when they start letting Lou Dobbs become his own version of Fox's "fair and balanced" and planting seeds of xenophobia in viewers. He has some good arguments, but he also has BAD ones too and he won't separate them or let others criticize him.
I sure as hell didn't switch to Fox News though, thats WORSE than the CNN bias.

Because they were on Clinton's sack all the time...now I can see how bias they really were...I can tell you one big change I have noticed...when I first join the Army in 91 when a TV was on during the duty day it had to be on a news channel...to begin with it was on CNN or Headline News...now all the TVs are on Fox News...that should tell the Liberals something, shouldn't it?

I would never dream of switching to Fox News. I watch CNN and MS NBC, ABC and BBC News. Fox News is biased and one can not expect the truth there. The only way to get real news is to read newspapers and watch different news channels. PBS is an important source too.

You need to read the book "Cable News Confidential".
The author, who was an editor in chief for CNN, FOX & MSNBC, states that all media provides a great deal of censorship of stories because the corporation that owns them won't allow the story. Also, for every liberal viewpoint there always had to be 3 conservative opposing viewpoints but never the other way around.

I switched to BBCA; blame that air-headed twit Robin Meade and Romper Room and Company in the morning.

Aside from the fact that it is the 24 hour DNC news feed, just the fact that Ted Turner was involved and his traitor houseb1tch was gaining financially through him.

Honesty? I started watching when Rush started promoting it. I don't follow his every wish? But I do like this advice.

FOX gives me gas, so I don't watch it at all. PBS and Jim Lehrer are the ticket to the real news.

I don't really watch either.
Mostly because they are more concerned with dead crackhead pornstars, than actual news.
