Even with the Internet it seems like partisianship has become the new standard when it comes to the media. If I read the Nytimes on a daily basis, especially the Op-Ed, I feel a tremendous sense of doom and gloom, that this country is headed towards disaster on every issue from the environment to social security, to the war on terror. If I go to Fox News or other media outlets, I see well-thought out justifications for how this country is being run. I can honestly say that I can't find balanced news, that I'm constanty having to take every piece of information with a sense of skepticism.
It is very shameful that our privately held media has resorted to such extremes, what happened to covering the news with a non-objective lens? I mean I consider myself a middle leaning liberal, but sometimes I wonder if the media is involved in a campaign of fear-mongering to pursue different agendas.
