Come now Twist...CNN can be bad, but FOX news is tabloid bad...all the "news" reporters are a sketch
I'll take American news from Miles O'Brian and Wolf Blizter before I listen to Geraldo Rivera and Bill O'Reilly!

You gotta take both in, consider their points, and then come to your own conclusion.
I don't consider Fox News like a tabloid, yes they do seem to dramatize a lot of things, but it doesn't change the news. I don't personally care for many panel discussions unless both sides are present on any network.
I watch headline news cause it'* fast, and sports center cause it'* got important info, and it'* good comedy

There is a hypothesis out there that some scientists/smart guys think is true. For every action that happens on this world there is another Earth that does the opposite decesion. So lets say America did nothing after 9/11, what would it be like today? I can pretty much gurantee you that the same people would be pissed at us for sitting on our *** and not doing anything. And its not like we go out starting fights, because Cuba would of been free by now. When a country has this much power for this long, there tends to be a bulls eye on it. When a good nation like the U.*. does something like this, people tend to find a way to make it a bad thing, while War lords in Africa are still corrupting their citizens and the China dictatorship is killing innocent lives, just because they feel like it. And IMO one reason Americans are so blinded by their own way of living and dont know much about other countries (like your post earlier) is because they get sick and tired of all the whinning and say screw it.

All I ask of a media source at this point is that if they are going to present material other than the out and out facts, they are intelligent enough to realize when they have a bias, understand what that bias is, and they admit to it. I mainly get angry when material is presented as unbiased news or "the truth" and it'* just some idiot'* one-sided idea of what'* going on.
