OPaul Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 CNN seems more balanced then FoxNews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemo Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 CNN seems more balanced then FoxNews. he didn't ask what is more balanced that Foxnews, he asked what is balanced in the first place. well fox news is more balanced than the NYT. :no: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoyablue Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 I typically read The Economist because it seems to provide a fair and objective view of politics. A lot of its articles are pervasive in the sense that it reports current events in many countries that American media almost always fails to consider. As an added bonus, it reports on those respective events with little to no partiality. The primary means by which I derive my own political opinions are from political philosophy; this would explain the foundation of my idealist mindset.

He asked which is less biased and I responded with a comparison of two news organizations. What's the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caustiK Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 i watch CNN. it seems to be fairly unbiased most of the time. i'll flip through msnbc or fox news for political discussions though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fotix Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 Corporate TV News media is just there to turn a profit for shareholders. It's not really there for the public to learn the facts or history surrounding many news situations. And they are obsessed with celebrities or missing pretty white girls. It's kind of disturbing. I like C-SPAN for TV News. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Hur Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 the actual reporting of foxnews is pretty unbiased (as much as cnn or any of the others), though the opinions are obviously all conservative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OPaul Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 But they give their opinions far to much to be credible reporters. I can understand O'Reilly because his views are the point of his show but people like Neal Cuvato (or whatever) make me sick. He's always going of on some rank, he needs to shutup and report the news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacce Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 I generally read these two. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/ http://www.truthout.org/ extra: Foxnews? unbiased? ha! They keep saying that every 5 min.. Normally if you are, then you don't have to say it. Plus a group of people did a study of Fox news Documentary called "Outfoxed" .. heh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
