Best News Coverage

Where do you think the best news to be had comes from?

Are there any that aren't biased?

Who gives the most informative account?

Who's the most professional?

Fox New isn't biased... As long as you're a far right conservative that believes that all Liberals have an agenda aimed at global domination and enslavement of all those opposed.

well they are:nanner:
 
I get a good laugh at people who still believe there are news outlets that aren't biased one way or the other.

Everyone always insists the news they watch is impartial and fair and all the news from the other side is biased.

:cool:

Best news coverage? If you mean the least-biased, I'd have to say that NewsHour With Jim Lehrer on PBS probably comes closest to hitting the mark.

I agree with Rey that Reuters is ordinarily a pretty neutral source for information online as well.

Newspaper? I can't think of one that doesn't have a slant one direction or the other. USA Today would like its readers to think it is unbiased, but Al Neuhearth is definitely a left-leaner so that premise pretty much goes out the window.
 
I know CNN is biased, but I really do like Lou Dobbs. I feel that he looks at both sides fairly, and typically asks the right kinds of questions.

Yeah, I fogot about Jim Lehrer. I don't get PBS on my satellite though, so I miss seeing that.

When it comes to news outlets, I like data. It's OK to have an opinion of some sort, but if you can't show me (with data) how you got there, I'm inclined to switch the channel. That's what I do like about Bloomberg, and why I don't watch Fox Bizziness News or CNBC (Constant Nonsense and Bull Crap) any longer. That's what I like about Reuters, and why I don't pay much attention to certain other papers and websites.

Some people seek out only those news outlets that agree with their point of view - true of the left and the right. I don't figure that I'm right 100% of the time, so I like being faced with information (in the form of hard data) that makes me ask myself questions about what I believe and why I believe it.
 
Oh man I must be really tired I thought the headline read BREAST news coverage.

Heh. No dude but you can talk about whatever so long as it connects somehow. For example, Erin Andrews the sports chica was videoed naked, that might be considered 'Breast News Coverage' of sorts.

I don't ever recall that happening to Tits McGee (Katie Couric), if I'm wrong let me know people. :)
 
For world news probably BBC.

In the states I like to watch Democracy Now! it's a radical left leaning TV station...

Which means that if you compare it with the mainstream broadcast networks, in between You Might actually come close to objectivity.

Same reason why I'd like to watch Al Jazira. If you are smart enough to impose your own thought-filter, then you will hear about stuff that you won't see anywhere else.

If there are topless pics of Katie, I doubt the guy that took them wants to admit to it. She probably wants them leaked, but he refuses to have anything to do with it.

But now... K_a_t_y Kay (have to type it like that or it picks up a porn star's name) from the BBC?! She's a real deal journalist. But if she ever has too many martinis some night and goes nuts, pops her top and shows off the lil girls... I would love to check out those pics!
 
News is terrible these days... I can't say there is one outlet I trust. CNN is for the Dems, Fox for the GOP, and all of the other outlets seem to be pushing agendas as well.

If I have to pick one, I'll go with US News and World Report.

I'm with you there. Mainstream media has become a joke, more about sensationalism than anything else, only on a grander scale than newspapers were in the past. I usually get my news by checking multiple sources, most often online.
 
I like to get my news for multiple various sports on the Internet where I then compare them, and my local news station.

So apparently you watch it enough to have formed that opinion.
