I'll watch CNN and FOX but I decided months ago to get off the political junkie high I was on. I think it actually changed my mood for the better by getting away from that stuff. I figured no matter how much I believe what I believe I can't change how others think no matter how wrong they are.:p:)
Fox appeals to most folks and dominates the airwaves so any time they stub their toe it's big news. Its hard to be the one on top!
[QUOTE=RoadToad;460562]My whole point with this thread was not to hold out CNN as some great example of fair and balanced reporting. They are just as slanted to the left as Fox is to the right. But they don't [I]say[/I] they're fair and balanced with every other breath, either, like Fox News does. I don't have a problem with Fox being conservative; it's a good thing to have someone to balance the rest of us liberals out there. I watch them sometimes, and sometimes I even agree with some of their commentary, although I think Glenn Beck needs a straitjacket, and Ann Coulter is a psycho bitch from Hell. So if I sound like I'm saying, "Fox News isn't fair & balanced, but CNN is," that's not what I meant. I just think they need to change their slogan, that's all. Why can't they just SAY they're conservative, own it, and be proud of it? There's nothing wrong with that. Sure, we'd all like all our news to be completely objective, right down the middle, but human nature just doesn't allow that, IMHO.[/QUOTE]
Agree 100%. One reason I don't watch any of the talk shows and pay any attention to political ads. I would much rather base my vote on a candidate's past voting record.
