All the news programs suck. Why? Because it's about ratings, not about reporting the news.

Does it have even a fraction of credibility in your land of opportunities?
And...
Regardless of whether or not it does or doesn't, does anybody actually watch the shite they put on it?
(Inspired by comments caught while channel surfing yesterday when one presenter questioned whether our contained, minor outbreak of foot and mouth could have been the action of 'terrorism')

Oh, and for the record I'm a fiscal conservative and a social libertarian. Someone will always ask in these threads. I should note that my opinion of CNN isn't any higher. I've never watched MSNBC. I get all of my news from the History Channel. It's 50 years late, but it seems pretty unbiased.

Twice in a row, when a republican gets caught in a sex scandal, they label them as a democrat. The 1st time, i thought it was a mistake, the 2nd time i was pretty sure it was intentional.

Those who primarily watch Fox News are significantly more likely to have misperceptions, while those who primarily listen to NPR or watch PBS are significantly less likely.
An in-depth analysis of a series of polls conducted June through September found 48% incorrectly believed that evidence of links between Iraq and al Qaeda have been found, 22% that weapons of mass destruction have been found in Iraq, and 25% that world public opinion favored the US going to war with Iraq. Overall 60% had at least one of these three misperceptions.
Such misperceptions are highly related to support for the war. Among those with none of the misperceptions listed above, only 23% support the war. Among those with one of these misperceptions, 53% support the war, rising to 78% for those who have two of the misperceptions, and to 86% for those with all 3 misperceptions.

BBC FTW, they'll even report bad crap about themselves!
i do also like channel 4's news because sometimes they have really cool debates and because C4 like to push the boundries abit with taboo subjects and language and the like its usually entertaining.
The BBC has failed to promote proper debate on major political issues because of the inherent liberal culture of its staff, a report commissioned by the corporation has concluded.
The report claims that coverage of single-issue political causes, such as climate change and poverty, can be biased - and is particularly critical of Live 8 coverage, which it says amounted to endorsement.
After a year-long investigation the report, published today, maintains that the corporation?s coverage of day-to-day politics is fair and impartial.
