So let me ask folks...
Where is the incentive to run a nationally broadcast news program that seeks to deliver factual reporting and investigation along with providing viewers with broad perspective on the matters of the day?
Those who already have their minds made up will blast you for being in the pocket of the opposite side. Under barrage for being biased by these groups, when you do screw something up (and you will...it's the nature of the beast), it will be viewed as evidence to this end and to destroy your credibility.
Why not just put infotainment up there that caters to one of the political camps: 'right', 'left', or 'hate-em-all'?
We can talk until we are blue in the face about media's responsibility to the people and such, but in reality, we can't expect them to do it out of the goodness of their hearts alone. We need to provide an environment where those who choose to report responsibly are rewarded and prosper.
