redrum...that was my point about facts. Something that you can track verses just being put out there.

Actually, prefer BBC America, then Fox, after the CNN debate debacle I'm not quite sure of them at all.

I like to call it "Old-media", because more and more people get their news from the internet these days, especially under 40. Even if the same entities are on the web, it's interactive enough that you can "fact" check and compare almost instantly - which is going to force them to change.
I will watch both if needed, but there is usually very little of substance.
If the media had done their apparent job, more people would be better informed. Go ahead, ask people on the street, they will blurt out Clinton/Obama or Giuliani and barely Romney, and maybe know one policy position about that candidate.
Sadly, the old media tries not to, they often only care about their pocket books, and creating controversy between "front runners" with flaws, so they can get people to watch their drivel - which brings in advertisers, which is their actual job. I say good riddance.

Generally I watch CNN at night and CNBC during the day for financial news. Fox seems truly one way, the republican way and I like having different perspectives. I'm a registered republican but I have not voted that way for a while and don't see that changing any time soon.
I also try to catch "The Daily Show" with Jon Stewart. He has a way of adding humor to the very serious questions and obstacles that face our country.

Anyone who gets their info from the mainstrem media is being deceived. For example, Ron Paul's campaign set a new record for fundraising in one day - over $6 million, and yet the news was hardly mentioned on MSM channels. Meanwhile, McCain got a meaningless endorsement from Lieberman on the same day, and it was front page news. Which was the bigger news story?

I like to hear it from the candidates mouths, I think the "News" has gotten too biased and become newstainment. I'd like to see longer interviews like Ron Paul the other night on Glenn Beck, (wouldn't watch him otherwise) News clips are too short and mostly out of context to make views seem slanted.

I like the Wall Street Journal the best. I have followed them since the early 90s, before FoxNews. And I watch FoxNews more than CNN. Less spin and much more professionalism, though not with every host.

*What other means are there to getting the "facts".
Facts..whats that? it's only opinions that people give you. You have to take all this information and sort it out and come up with what you believe to be the facts.
If they have been in politics before,or are now in Politics,they have a record. Check out their voting records. That is Fact!
