[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 231549, member: 2189"] It's funny how the opinions of people differ so when it comes to the various news sources. For the most part it seems people pick along the lines of Fox News or CNN but I think that's mostly an appearance thing in that it just seems that way at times. A lot of the programming at CNN and Fox are opinion oriented and driven and that's fine. I know myself in the morning I like Robin Meade at CNN over the Fox bunch because they just don't appeal to me in how they deliver. Other folks, it's completely the other way. And the other CNN channel I view about like I view the Fox morning show. I'd just rather have a more Hard news program and leave off the hi-jinx and other high school pep rally stuff. Robin has her light hearted fun too but there's just more direct news and much less opining for me (never said there was none) which is what I want in a news broadcast. However, even those broadcasts that I don't watch do offer hard news segments at the top and bottom hours and for the most part that aren't opinion oriented. When it comes to just presenting hard news, IMO there is no real difference between any of the networks. Funny how when some of the folks over at CNN are charged as being liberal are not considered so when they move over to fox and visa versa. Should that mean anything at all or is it something we should ignore and continue with the label trading jabs! However, there are some who feel all the networks have let us down especially when it comes to the Washington press corp. For me, it harkens back to the days of Watergate when it took 2 nothing reporters at the Washington Post who saw troubling signs and unlike their counterparts in town who were to close and comfortable to rock the boat, they followed the story that in time exposed the country to what was really going on behind the scenes. These voices are now starting to speak out and like Bernstein and Woodward, where will it takes us. Maybe no where and maybe this is just the overblown ramblings of an idiot as some will say and maybe they are right. However, I also remember hearing the same allegations at Bernstein and Woodward back in the early 70's and look what history has told us about that era some 35 years later?
