3. I stopped watching CNN over 10 years ago. In fact, I don't watch any cable/satellite pseudo news.

Tell me what knowledge or information do you really get from these whores that you cannot get from reading, and other avenues. I will argue that if ones only source is cable or satellite news, you are more uninformed than those who get their news from the printed media, or other sources, including the internet, where even though the internet can push garbage, with a little effort that garbage can be debunked with very little effort.

There are sources outside of the U.S. MSM television media where you can get a much more balanced look. These include BBC, Bloomberg, and a few others, but the major cable and satellite national news channels are not in the business to inform, but to entertain, which I do not find entertaining
