Rockefeller on FOX and MSNBC bias:

I can so agree with the 'jist' of his remarks. The 24 hour news cycle is anything but news. You would think that with 24 hours of broadcasting they would be able to drill down and obtain more facts than a half hour of news from the over the air network news, but alas the bias is more so not less as we get 24 hours of bias commentary F...OXNews and MSNBC and less facts or balance.

Legally and constitutionally there is little that can be done other than us turning these stations OFF, but we won't because we fear balanced reporting as not being complete because it doesn't tell us what to think like FOX and MSNBC. We see stations and shows like PBS and NPR as being subtly bias [and therefore more nefarious] because they present speakers and opinions from both sides in respectful debate and leave it up to us to decide.

Since there is no screaming and hollering and no obvious 'winner' we have to make the final decision ourselves. We don't get told who's right and why which makes us uncomforted...

If your not going to watch the stations and shows that encourage you to make a decision based on civil debate then at least consider watching both sides of the argument by watching both FOXNews and MSNBC if you can stand it. Get the sane civil debate or get the insane screaming debate, but for sure get both sides of the argument, both sets of facts.

Remember when we use to tell our kids that good friends tell them what they need to hear, not what they want to hear.

copy of comment

Some people should remember "there for the grace of God go I..."
I've worked for a paycheck since I was 15 years old (43 years) and the only time I was out of work and drew unemployment was between my leaving the Military and when my GI Bill kicked in. The GI Bill was so small then that I couldn't go to class without getting a job to support my family, but school was hard for me and I had to drop out for my family to survive. So I guise that makes me stupid and a slacker. SO for that guy who has worked a measly 26 years I would point out that pride without humility is just vanity. Unless things have changed I'm pretty sure that Unemployment benefits are for people who have worked. ARE WORKERS The ideal that 26 years of hard work is unaffected by events that are out of our control and is never influenced by some form of good fortune is really self-indulgent. Last but not least as you blame liberals for everything you don't have control of remember that it was conservatives and their anti-protectionist rants that repeatedly said the key to dealing with the outsourcing of American jobs WAS TRAINING!!! Hang in there Charlie and Jennica, going to school is a good thing, as is trying to better your family.
