Authentic News Network
Posted 03/24/2010 by pete in Plots | Submit idea in this category
Is it so hard to have a true "fair and balanced" news source? Fun experiment...next time there is a big news story such as the passing of the Health Care Reform Bill, switch back and forth from FoxNews to MSNBC. It's comical the way the two networks report the same story but with their own spin. I would say CNN is the closest news network without a political agenda, but why can't there be a middle of the road, non-republican, non-democratic, non-conservative, non-liberal, 24-hour news network that just tells the facts and not the talking points from their political party. People who exclusively watch MSNBC or FoxNews are not getting the full story, yet they think they are well informed on any topic if they are a regular viewer of Bill O'Reilly or Keith Olbermann. Granted, this doesn't always make for "interesting TV", but they can still have debates from various party members. Just don't exaggerate a story based on whether or not it makes your political party look good, and call it "news".

I agree, totally. If you're a Republican, watch Fox. Dems go to MSNBC. Tea Partiers, also MSNBC. CNN is the most non-political. BBC is another noteworthy non-US-biased news source, if you can get it.

I totally agree. Republicans cheer for Fox. Democrats watch MSNBC along with the Teapartiers. If you want un-biased TV, CNN or BBC.
