From Shakran: "Look at where most of the REALLY good news programs are scheduled - McLaughlin Group, Face the Nation, Meet the Press, etc. They're scheduled on Sunday morning, when most people are in church! If they scheduled these programs during prime time, they'd lose money because people would tune them out in favor of a sitcom or, more likely, a reality show."
Actually in the 80's the highest rated weekly primetime show was 60 Minutes. But this was before the hate mongering and partisan politics we face today.
I truly believe if we stop the hate mongering and partisan politics we'll get real hard news again and it will work. But when your source of news or political party beliefs lead you to believe that this news is bad and this news is good it affects the ratings and destroys any hopes of unbiased news.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
