I can't figure out which of them is worse. All they do is carry the talking Yam. Orange Mr Potato Head.

(1,508 posts)When were they ever. Oh yes, CNN international actually does news every now and then, but that isn't broadcast here in the states. MSNBC...I've always considered them an opinion show that uses the news to get their ideas as to what opinion pieces they should present to the public.

(8,776 posts)One has to giggle that when told they have left wing bias.
They catapult the propaganda and define the bounds of "acceptable" discourse.
Without the Fairness Doctrine and with no competition because of the concentrated corporate ownership of media, the cable "news" and opinion channels have scant reason to serve the needs and wants of their viewers.
