If MSNBC or CNN were slanted to the left |
|
as much as Fox is to the right would you watch either CNN or MSNBC exclusivly for news?

1. Hypotheticals on this are meaningless... |
|
...since MSNBC and CNN are NOT "slanted to the left". Most of us draw our news from a wide variety of sources. Most of us shun news with a simple minded ideaological bent. It's insulting. If I seek the "news", I want to know what's going on, I'm not looking to be told bullshit that satisfies my preconceived ideaological bent...

2. Personally, I would like no slant at all. |
|
Just the news. A radical concept, I know, but it sure would be nice.

I'd be too busy watching pigs fly by, an equally likely occurance.

5. Under Time Warner and AOL, and GE |

CNN and NBC will never allow a turn to the left...the question is out of the question.
The American people deserve more.
We have become the USSR and the People's Republic.
All major tv and cable companies are propaganda machines.
We've been cheated and the propganda in the spoon that is being shoved down your throat is poisoned. Know what is going on and watch those stations only to measure the chutzpah of control and lies.

6. How about saying if Gore created a liberal News Network |
|
... then out of the choices between CNN, MSNBC, or FOX, I'd pick the left slanted. Because I turn ill listening to FOX, and MSNBC and CNN are just advertising whores who'd be happy covering Kobe than politics in general.
But of course a truly fair news network would be ultimate, but I'd still ocassionally watch a left network for entertainment.
