35. Since when is "the media" required to give us unbiased, accurate information?
All media, print and electronic, is a business and their bills are paid by delivering eyeballs & earlobes to advertisers.
One could possibly make the case that broadcast media by virtue of their use of the airwaves might be subject to some requirement to present "both sides"--which of course may negatively affect their income--but certainly not for cable.
Cable is just another product that each individual pays for like a magazine or a newspaper; don't like what's in there or how it's presented, don't buy it.
