This is JMO the best way to find out what is truly the news is to stagger your veiwng. Watch 30 minutes of Fox news report than 30 minutes of CNN news report that is the only way to truly get a fair and balance report of the news. Then make up your own opinion

All of the networks and cable news channels have a bias to them. To hear any of the "big anchors" say they are just reporting the news I want to scream "liar liar pants on FIRE

"

Even the newest Anchor to be Katie Couric slants to the left (I vaguely remeber her attacking George Bush Sr. on the Today show when he was the president.

I've heard lots of anchors say negative things about Clinton. I guess they were all right-wingers. Damn biased media.

The fact that so many news outlets report news currently that doesn't reflect positively on Bush is because a lot of negative news has resulted from Bush's decisions ... very similar to the negative news that arose but Bill's decisions.

It's not that they make negative statements that registers....its the time spent apologizing for actions that shows bias

You are right I was not trying to say they just slant to the left that was just an example. During the Clinton administration I think the conservative slant on talk radio and news shows hit an all time low with their reporting. Example turning on the ABC news which is not a conservative news broadcast and hearing Peter Jennings saying "Oral Sex" on the news was for me a low point in television news broadcasting.
