So there appears to be general agreement here that both CNN and FOX are blatantly biased.
I guess the spin will be, "well, yeah, but the OTHER one is even MORE biased".
Great.
We're quick to lower standards for everything else, why not lowering standards for our press too, huh?
Not good for a democracy. As we can see.

Yawn, blaming the media.
Hey, here's why we have niche media. Because when we decided that news had to sell corn flakes, it became about marketing and not journalism.
You see, there used to be a time when networks operated their news sections at a loss. Yes, it costs money to keep reporters in foreign countries and pay correspondents. But that doesn't sell the cornflakes.
Paying a high priced news reader to tell your audience what they want to hear sells corn flakes.
Of the three news networks, CNN is actually trying the hardest to do actual journalism. Fox and MSNBC have gone the furthest into "Telling people what they want to hear" journalism.
Then again, I remember when the Discovery Channel and TLC and History used to be about educational stuff, before they became about midgets and lumberjacks and duck-killing rednecks. Gotta sell those corn flakes!
