ALL news outlets or should I call them SOAP OPERA outlets use spin to one degree or another depending on their specific agenda. The closest to a non spin outlet is without a doubt C-Span

Definately correct from my perspective and I totally agree. All Television and traditional newspapers have an agenda which they try and force feed to the public. They don't deliver the news they try and mold the news to make you believe what they want you to believe. The good news is that over the last five or so years with Fox & MSNBC their agendas are so obvious that it's beginning to backfire and the public now just views these outlets as fluff or even comical. C-SPAN is the closest to genuine news, They just set up a camera in congress and let it roll without noise from a biased reporter or jornalist who might have gotten their marching orders from god knows who. Have you ever seen a bigger room full of blank faces in your life than at a presidential news conference? The jornalists look like extras in the movie zombie island. And the pitiful questions they ask? Please ,There really isn't any real journalizm anymore just a fight for ratings and advertisment dollars ,In it for the all mighty buck and that's it, Maybe it's good that the quality of reporting has gone down hill, now we are all forced to double and triple check all the mistakes newspapers make to find the truth and maybe that's a good thing.

MSNBC is not even a news channel. They say nothing of value and only put out what the W.H. tells them too. If you like Fox news or not at least when they say something and I want to know if its true or not by researching it I find Fox to be the most reliable at getting to the facts that maybe people really don't want to know. People today would rather believe what there told without ever trying to find out if what they are being fed is true or not. How very sad for this country.

And FOX dosn't spin? Surely you jest? FOX is a right wing nut job channel and as for news? What news? It's a joke and that's why Republicans lost in a landslide. The media these days is not really the media at all. Every Television news outlet and newspaper, and I use these terms loosly, are out for one thing and one thing only, The all mighty buck. I don't care if it's a major national network or your local so called " Mom & Pop " Newspaper, they care about their bottom line and power period, no they don't report they try and manipulate readers and that's a shame.

<quoted text>I do not jest when I say, "the other news outlets are liberal", so its nice to hear both sides of the news. Fox, "the actual news", is how years ago the news media would actually report the news.

Cable Media Score Card;
MSNBC - Progressive
FOX - Radical Republican
CNN - Somewhat Neutral
C-SPAN - Neutral
Sad to say there really isn't any pure news today. It's all about who can manufacture the grandest soap opera bull story. They have to use spin and fabrication due to the 24 hour cycle which exists today. It's all about trying to control your thoughts and minds not about delivering readers factual hard news. Online content these days are just as bad if not worse than print papers. Never beleive everything you read unless it's checked and then doubled checked for accuracy , but then again if it needs to be checked that many times for errors what good is reading it in the first place?
