Why would liberals be depressed that MSNBC overtook CNN? Even in your imagination where they are liberally biased, isn't MSNBC moreso?<br> <br> Neither are liberal, they're just not as extreme right wing as Fox. MSNBC isn't nearly as stupid, either, and CNN is a little better on that front.<br> <br> Neal's refrain, that Fox News isn't biased except explicit opinion shows, is only true if you consider ever Fox News show an opinion show. Which isn't far from reality. Or is it not an opinion show when the anchor repeats the Republican talking points in a neutral tone?<br> <br> Fox News is essentially a reality show, which about as much relation to reality. Note that both are popular. Fox News screams about alarmist nonsense and vapid celebrity "news" to try to appeal to the stupidest people and avoids even a hint of actual journalism or fact checking. It's half "what should you be afraid of today", and half made up nonsense. There is no serious coverage of what is going in the world. <br> <br> Worst of all the whole thing is organized around ignorant people voicing their opinions without any factual support. This is rebranded as common sense populism. <br> <br> Look at the top story on Fox News as of this moment. It's "Michael's ex declares... 'I want my children'". Glad I know that. Not that the other stations are much better about the celebrity crap, but they don't report it quite as stupidly. Michael Jackson should have gotten maybe 10 minutes of coverage, and only because he was especially influential, and only his music is really noteworthy.<br> <br> The whole "liberal media" nonsense has crushed our media. Everything has to be oriented towards the lowest common denominator to not be "elitist", focused on things that people are supposed to care about by the right wing rather than what really matters, and following the Republican rules of political correctness. International, environmental, civil rights, and general welfare and safety issues are for the birds since all we really need to know about is the LATEST TERRORIST THREAT FROM GAY MARRIAGE THAT HATES AMERICA AND CHILDREN AND BURNS FLAGS.
