Not as much as I am.
Do not watch them.
Do not purchase from their advertizers
Stick your head out of the window and scream: “I’m mad as hell and I won’t take it anymore”.
Nice rant, but at least half or more of the US population don’t watch or listen to news. They have no idea as to current events. They are too absorbed in other activities.
--I get all my "news" from assorted internet sources--most notably, this one--
He’s right. I turned my TV off years ago. I only use it to see the debates and rare programs that interest me. These people aren’t newsmen, they are propagandists.
Until they stop telling stories and start reporting facts, they will continue to have no cred.
BOR is in his own Reality Distortion Zone, not a no spin zone.
I hate boycotts, but it would take an organized nationwide boycott of media advertisers to get anything done.
I gave up on network news many, many years ago.
I use to watch Fox News to some degree but that’s faded to zero.
The only time I tune into Fox News or CNN now is when a disaster has happened...
Otherwise I get my news on the Web, primarily here.
This morning I heard a clip of "TheOne" telling someone that Hillary was obviously high on his list. I doubt anyone will point out this most recent lie.
ABC = Always Barak Chanell
The anchors are competitive and insecure.
Start writing to the program directors and station managers and complain about it. Loudly. With advertising threats.
I know local news programs are more apt to change than national, and it’s a start. Not enough competition to keep all of the local stations in business, so give your business to those who eliminate the “anchors as analysts” model.
CBS = Constant Barack System
No, they need to physically attack Sarah Palin. A Charlie Gibson tackle would seal the deal.

The MSM employees are aware of what they are doing.
Sarah Palin was out fishing with her husband. Her hat blew off her head and into the cold water. “I’ll turn the boat around so we can get it.” Todd told her. “That won’t be necessary,” she responded. She calmly got out of the boat and walked across the water, picked up her hat and returned to the boat. Reporters on shore, to their amazement saw the entire incident. The next day the headlines read, “SARAH PALIN CAN’T SWIM!”
We have always known that the networks were lefties, because we knew that they were omitting important facts or not asking the right questions. However, that subtle approach was effective on the uneducated. They really thought that the leftist dribble they were getting fed was balanced coverage.
Reagan's presidency started to change all that. The leftist media started to lose it. By the time George H. Bush ran in 1988, they were starting to let go of pretense. In a panel discussion that cycle, several anchors actually agreed publicly that the election was “too important for objectivity” because the common man wasn't understanding the issues when delivered in a mock balanced format. That was the beginning of open partisan coverage by the networks.
The next election cycle they were openly partisan, and the entertainment side of the networks also kicked in. “Designing Women” had several “vote Clinton” episodes, among others.
The Clinton years gave them a bit of a breather and with GOP candidates like Dole they decided they could safely go back to just being biased. W. changed all that, and with each passing year they have become more and more desperate to turn public opinion.
I think they have now crossed the Rubicon. Only their sycophants still believe that their reporting is anything but partisan or more likely just approve of it. Proof appears in Gov. Palin. They have openly mocked her, defamed her, repeated the nastiest lies with glee, yet the public seemingly ignores them.
But WE MUST STOP REFERRING TO THEM AS BIASED. They are post-biased. They are now partisan and we need to continue to drive that message home.
