Fair and balanced? John B = gullible
Submitted on April 14th, 2008 by AnonymousYou honestly believe that Fox is more credible than any other news network? Are you joking?
You, sir, are only responding to tone:

Please, educate yourself on how to validate your information. Rupert Murdoch is a righteous b*****d, and will claim anything so that you give him money. Fox depicts the perspective people like you want to see, with little real respect for the truth of the matter. They're always contradicting themselves and giving petty troubles too much screen time for their own good. If I have to hear Anne Coulter's harpy skawk one more time I'm going to sneak into Fox news headquarters and go on a tirade about how the evangelicals are following their own depiction of the anti-christ.
Please, please, please! have some reason! Reality isn't what you think it should be, and will keep on moving despite all of your biases.
Those who are fair and balanced are obviously so, they need not validate their credibility with propaganda mantras.
The more liberal media sources are simply getting increasingly frustrated with our slipshod government and that damned conservative stubbornness that has prevented our nation from acting sooner than it has. Their vehemic responses are justified.
Once upon a time ...
Submitted on April 13th, 2008 by John 2000there was a myth that network news was credible. Then it became evident that were mere propaganda mills. People left them in droves when other newer, more flexible propaganda mills moved into the hood. I watch a wide range of sources. CSPAN is the most direct least filtered, least biased source on TV. It often requires an attention span of more than 3 minutes and has little entertainment value. Unfortunately, of the major others, I find Foxnews really is the most fair and balanced, so that obviously says a lot negative about the others.
trusted networks?
Submitted on April 13th, 2008 by AnonymousCNN and CBS both claimed as a trusted news station. I do not buy into their claims. I watched fox news more often due to their balanced reportting. I am just tired of liberal tint of eastern news not reporting the truths. how about their reporting that lazy boy closing Utah plant to move to nafta ratified Mexico? You may not heard it out of eastern stations but it making us madder than small towns folks
Katie's uphill battle
Submitted on April 13th, 2008 by AnonymousKatie Couric went into the anchor chair with an already uphill battle. Her predecessor disgraced the CBS news with a blatantly false story about President Bush. Whether we agree with our president or not, this was an in-your-face falsified news story that CBS never made proper reparations for. Thus discrediting Dan Rather as well as CBS.
On top of that Katie was never really groomed to be the news anchor of a serious news show. I still think of Katie as the woman who could let you know about the current household trends and fashions. She was a much better morning show host.
Its not really about gender even though that is what everyone says. There are other women anchors that are doing quite well. Katie had an uphill battle to begin with and she lost. Its no surprise. I'm shocked that Les Moonves didn't see it coming from day one.
Not all old folks

I'll be 65 in June and I quit watching the networks probably before you were born - in the late 60s. They didn't get Viet Nam right and they're not getting the war on terror right, from what I read in the Wall Street Journal and in a variety of blogs.
