i have to agree with mr. self-desctructor guy that this site seems like it has a left-wing bias. however, i dont mind that in that i also have a left-wing bias -- hell, after watching the last seven years of right-wing governance, who wouldn’t? but the funny part is, geniune information of the sort this station will provide isn’t hard to find -- you can get good coverage from democracy now or c-span or on the net from a thousand other places -- but too many people continue to rely on cable news, my guess is it’s because they dont WANT to become informed. they feel sorta obligated to watch some news so they dont look apathetic, but their heart isnt in it.
i think everyone has a bias but it IS possible to have reasonably objective news coverage, i think, not that anyone (outside of c-span, maybe) does it -- the reporters have to police themselves and honestly try to convey facts dispassionately and that has to come from inside, yanno? you cant make a reporter approach his/her job honestly... they have to do it themselves.
