CNN, Yahoo News and others --- what a waste of time.?

Question

I'm getting very tired of CNN, MSNBC, NBC, FOX and other "news" agencies increasingly becoming "analysts" that do nothing but share their own opinion about the news vs. just reporting the news. CNN and their "best political team" is the worst.

Have you noticed how many times Yahoo News lists a news article as "Analysis"? It's NOT news. It's an editorial... and usually biased (of course).

Where is the unvarnished and unbiased NEWS? Does everything have to be so biased and editorialized?

Anyone else see this trend? What do you think?

(Without getting into attacking specific candidates or parties).

Answer 1

reporting news has always had a bias, regardless of which media outlet, such is life, it can be annoying and tiresome, -" opinions are like arseholes everyone has one"

Answer 2

"CNN,..................? Blah Blah. YOUR comments are a waste of time! SHUT UP!!!!!!

Answer 3

Glad to see someone is awake. Most people are still gobbling up the opinion presented as "news".  The unvarnished and unbiased news is gone from the mass media airwaves forever I'm afraid. The problem is concentration of media ownership into the hands of only a few members of the ruling class. These two documentaries explain it. You might be surprised to learn that you were gentle on the media--the problem is much worse.

For real news, use independent (non-corporate) news sources on the web.

Answer 4

all are waste of time.

I suggest you read news from agencies,like AP,AFP. their news is provided to a lot of newspapers ,so they have to be more objective.

news agency's story is more objective than newspapers. AP's story talk more facts,instead of opinions.

Answer 5

I agree... But there's only ONE thing we can DO about it that will CHANGE "their ways..." And THAT is; STOP watching Them..! Problem IS, where are we gonna get Our "Straight News" from- THEN ??! I watch PBS sometimes- & they're NEWS isn't too bad... But there's Precious LITTLE of it... So we're Stuck!  :(

Answer 6

I think if you don't like what you're seeing, stop watching.
