Now anyone with a functioning mind knows that no corporate media is netural it leans one way or another. Lets discuss the big three CNN, MSNBC and Fox News.

CNN is left/moderate with Larry King and Paula Zahn. To a lesser extent Lou Dobbs and Jack Cafferty who have both said both sides are idiots. To qutoe Jack Cafferty "It doesnt matter who is in control. its just a different breed of weasel". Now for CNN to counter its left lean it has super-bitch Nancy Grace and overall tool Glenn Beck.

Fox News is right to far right with Neil Cavuto, Bill O'Reily, Sean Hannity, John Gibson (who is famous for his abort black babies remark) and its collection of dumb blonde anchor-women. To counter its right lean. Fox has Allen Colmbs (sp?) who in my opinion is nothing but Hannity's whipping boy. But according to Fox News they are fair and balanced with Hannity and Colmbs.

MSNBC tries in my opinion to be pretty moderate with both views.On the right conservative spaz Tucker Carlson who once worked for CNN with Crossfire until Comedian Jon Stewart basicly made him (along with Paul Begala) look like a complete jackass on national television. Chris Matthews who tends to be moderate in his views in my opinion and Joe Scarborogh a former Republican congressman. On the left is Keith Olberman with his comedic to the point perspective on things.

Then you got your various mouth pieces like Coulter, Savage, Limbaugh, Robertson, Fallwell, Dobson, Sharpton, Jackson, Farrahkhan, Samuels, The Young Turks, Franken, Bennette, Schultz, Miller and to a lesser extent Stewart and Colbert have been considered left-wing mouth pieces by the right.

Edit: Oh and lets not forget some of ESPN's pinheads are all of sudden think they are political masterminds. Im taking about Colin Cowherd who is even more of an annoying spaz than Tucker Carlson and also complete tool Jim Rome. I also forgot about that old fool Don Imus and his ranting.

Good post.

I try to stay away from fox news. I really only turn on MSNBC when some drastic in the states happens or when Olbermann is on.

Fox News is garbage and intentionally words there bottom tickers to trick people ( which is just insane ). The Foley is a democrat thing and the Scooter Libby NOT guilty thing. LOL.

I just don't know anymore man. I feel like we are damned if we do and damned if we don't.

Edward R. Murrow(who olbermann idealizes) was responsible for slapping down McCarthy(it's why pubs hate CBS) died in 1965. Good night and good luck is a movie about him knocking down McCarthy. But even ed had pubs who criticized his broadcast and called him lefty.

My favorite thing he said could possibly today describe modern news(especially fox, and CNN).

October 15, 1958, in a speech before the Radio and Television News Directors Association in Chicago, Murrow blasted TV's emphasis on entertainment and commercialism at the expense of public service.

"During the daily peak viewing periods, television in the main insulates us from the realities of the world in which we live. If this state of affairs continues, we may alter an advertising slogan to read: Look now, pay later."
