A while ago, Mike Zaneski posted a link to a site that was a useful guide to finding these sources, Of course, the more rabid will claim that that site itself is biased smile


Everything is biased. I dont think that any journalist sticks to the truth. They are like lawyers. If they stick to only the truth, presented without emotional editing through vocal tones and countenances...they will lose the case or the ratings war. The guy that lies and/or distorts is likely the guy that wins in both fields. Ugly but true.

If you watch CNN, you are watching a propaganda machine that is a clear extension of the DNC.
Gavin, you are liberal. If you believe something is accurate reporting, it feeds your bias. I promise.

I have conservative friends who will not watch "that lying crap" on CNN, MSNBC etc. I suggest to them that is the only way to have a chance of finding out "the rest of the story." What I've noticed is that they cant bear to watch it at an emotional level. If a person cant watch an opposition propaganda, then they are making themselves a "useful idiot" to a different set of propagandists.

You heard it here. Dispute it if you like, but such is the reality of this world.


I'm sorry, Marty, but what you think is the wisdom of experience explaining the reality of this world is just what you have been led to believe by the tactic of convincing you that nobody can be trusted to tell the truth. Discrediting the media is central to sowing the kind of "who knows what's really going on?" confusion that lets certain people get away with lying and incompetence. It brings everyone down to the same level as those sowing this doubt. It's done on purpose with the precise aim of making you feel the way you do.

What has CNN got to do with it? I am aware of their bias. I don't count them among the reliable news sources as far as political matters are concerned. As I've said elsewhere, I don't think they deliberately lie, but their bias comes through loud and clear in what they choose to cover, who they have to analyze the news and the angles from which they approach it.
