I hate all of them. I watch my local news, and sometimes GMA, but that's it. Most of the international news I get(for a diff perspective) comes from the BBC.

I try not to get persuaded by one or the other but I do have my favorites.
Glenn Beck seems to have a lot to say and he's fun to listen to.
I don't like Rush Limbaugh. He's too hot headed and extreme on one side.

:smile: i like watching Beck,he seems wired so tight that some night i think he is just going to go nuts on-the-air,and that would make for great television on the other hand,Rush is a big fat idiot be seeing you

Bill O'Rielly??????? OMG! The Republican HILTER!

Rush is an idiot.

Larry King is an entertainer.... flip-flops depending on who's on.

Beck.... couldn't tell you.... I quit watching all of them and went to the internet for a look at both sides. I'll listen with my eyes, ears and conscience thank you very much.

One sided "opinions" are not worthy sources to base an important decision on. I'll listen to both, but after all the lies on MSM, I'll keep to the internet and do my own research.

Glen Beck Bill O'Reilly and Rush should live together and be forced to listen to eachother 24/7 and watch them implode.

You can get the news if you listen between the lines, but frankly until the news is given out with out somebody's personal take on it, it's going to get more dramatic and political until no one watches it anymore except the fringe viewers who love being ticked off.

As for getting both sides from the internet. I can't see that either, because even if the internet is not owned by any one your going to gravitate to content that meets your beliefs and your bias.

It's a lesser of two evils thing.

But it does cause people to think instead of just accepting a distructive agenda like we are being sold.

I love the way Bill O'Reiley always gives his liberal guest "the last word" after he talked over them the entire interview. Fox news is fair and balanced! laugh

These are people who make huge statements to stimulate the crowd.

Sometimes I wonder if they even believe what they say. If they just say things to get ratings up and people upset or anxious.

Perhaps in the back of their minds they are thinking what a bunch of idiots and dumb ass people we have in this country in believing in what I say. They probably afterwords chuckle all the way to their bank with big chunks of dollars.

So whatever you choose to believe in, double check and research the issue before making a statement or supporting a idea. In most cases there is some distortion or missing information that they left out on purpose.

Good luck on your research and expansion of the mind. drinker

Ya, he's good at talking over people, they can't get a word in edgewise with him. Some say he is the king of BS. I say only if you can't recognize the bs in the first place. I love how he says with a straight face He's looking out for you... ya right, Bill.

The sell because people are easily sold, or none of them could find work walking dogs. Which is pretty damn scary if you think about it. I am often suprised people believe the crap that comes out of Fox news, Cnn, and others that deliberately manipulate their audience as if we have no idea they are doing it.

Of course there are people online doing the same thing..

:smile: i think O'Reilly is the most "fair and balanced" on Fox by the same token, Kieth Olberman always cracked me up until my cable company took MSNBC out of my package be seeing you

For the least biased perspective on what's happening here in the US-watch the BBC. I watch the local news and read about everything else.

I used to like Bill Moyer and Lou Dobbs, but I feel they even "skirt" real issues at times to avoid a loss of livelihood. They did/do raise points though that instill thought into an issue, so some credit is due them.

Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert ...

NPR ...

No such thing as real news, accuracy in reporting ...

Nor in World History as recorded ...

Beck is funny.

I trust Alex Jones.

The ones on MSM are nothing more than gatekeepers of information, either they or their producers CHOOSE what you get to learn.
