Unfortunately that's not the case. I would say most people believe what they see on mainstream cable "news" is actually real news. That's how the propaganda machine works and why it works so effectively. You have entertainment organizations masquerading as legitimate news sources to avoid the FCC regulations on legitimate journalism, that's the only reason they do it. Why would they use those taglines and phrases if for no other reason than to make the viewer believe it? All cable news networks do it, not just FOX, that's just the most obvious one to anyone watching it through an objective lense.

Tell you a story about CNN. 3 days after the levees failed in Katrina, I had the opportunity through work to assist at a hospital down there. We watched CNN and they showed bodies floating every day. We went to where the filming was and no bodies. We were told they were all cleaned up within a day but if you watched CNN you would think they left them floating for over a week.

We were also told how the federal government dropped the ball when we saw hundreds of school buses in a yard that were never used to transport people. We heard stories from the locals of showing up in boats to help people off rooftops but being turned away because they didn't have registration stickers on their boats. Was any of this reported?

People love a good trainwreck.

In that regard, they are pretty much one like the other. Same with the talking heads, if you tune in and take those shows as gospel, whether FOX or MSNBC, then congrats, you are an american voter.

no, they are not one like the other.

only one channel leaves their viewers less informed than if they had watched no news at all, and that station is "fair and balanced".

LOWELL.

"Democrats were still the largest political party with more than 42 million voters (compared with 30 million Republicans and 24 million independents)."

Cry bout it

I am a Democrat, yet you claim I am a righty. So does that mean the number of Democrats may not be an indicator of political bent?

Only a moron reads "letters to the editor" and thinks it is news.

what about a network that boasts constantly that it is not only news, but "fair and baanced" news, and "the most trusted name in"news, even though their viewers are less informed than those who watch no news at all?

"What about a..." - implies the subject uses thought. He does not, therefore rest of argument is moot.

You are asking someone, who is incapable of garnering a thought of their own, to analyze a piece of information for which he draws all his information, and reconsider that his information is completely and utterly bullshit. Not going to happen. Ever. He would be admitting to himself at that point, that his life, up until now, has been completely and utterly useless and misinformed. And he won't admit that. Ever.

I'm so sorry you were incapable of understanding that. Though you are correct in your assessment, I'm rather high at this very moment.
