I think the networks spend more time trying to figure out what their viewers want to hear instead of just reporting the news accurately. That goes for CNN and Fox.

It's the same thing, over and over again. The Clinton News Network is the same way. If MSNBC wanted to be different and find a real niche, they should report more stories and repeat themselves less often.

The Daily Show and the Colbert Report get more viewers than a lot of those other blowhards on the "news" channels. You know, there are as many of us on the left side as on the right. A good station could pick up a LOT of viewers. Well, Olberman’s audience is growing and Ed Shultz is the number one talk show in at least one market (Seattle).

There is not ONE network that actually reports news. Everything is opinion, entertainment, who is screwing who, stupid animal tricks and fantasy. C-SPAN is the only thing that is somewhat like news. And you wonder why people are soo uninformed? Todd B.,,

Dump the "newsertainment" and opinion shows and just give me the news. If I wanted to hear some idiot tell me what he things I'd listen to Air America or Sean Hannity. I mean, good lord, I can't even turn to Headline News any more without getting opinion shows. No, they should focus on reporting news instead of slanting to the left or the right.
