You can’t look at shows like Hannity or Olbermann or O Reilly as NEWS shows. Those are strictly opinion programs on political or social issues. Its like the editorial page of a newspaper. Their entire purpose on tv is to cause controversy, exactly the way you write your articles here. The controversy and opinions spark debate and facilitate education on the issues. But if no one sets the spark it never gets talked about. These guys regardless of whether or not I agree with their opinions (and I agree on dickslapping Maddow) the point is their role in all this has brought more people to the table in discussing the issues than ever before. These guys are right, don’t get your news from them, but establish opinons, incite debate, draw a line and say which side your on. If you just say the facts and don’t have an opinion what can I say to you about it that you don’t already know. “Grass is green” ok so what? How does that affect me. People are people they have opinions as is evident from the responses to this article alone. You do your research check your sources and it is up to you to legitimize it, take their word or discount it. The problem is so many people are drones in soceity and don’t have a brain of their own and are just plain too god damn stupid to decide anything for themselves. While I agree some of these guys could use a good ass kicking I see the need for them I see the market for them and I enjoy hearing their OPINIONS. I don’t watch Harold and Kumar and expect to find some kind of truth. I don’t listen to Kanye and find reason for my life (in fact it makes me hate hummanity in general lol) its ENTERTAINMENT and it has a purpose. I gotta go…Colbert just came on…haha

Fuck the news media. I agree with Kevin, give me a new Cronkite!! We may finally get some information that hasnt been tasted, swallowed, digested and then shit out by some jack off like sean hannity or hardcore lesbian like Maddow… its shitty on both sides.

What are you going to do with honest news? I think you need to calm down and deliver this article without so much passion. Just give me the pros and cons without your personal opinions getting in the way of you trying to make a point. I know it’s not like you’re reporting news, rather you’re talking about people and events, but I’d like it served to me in unbiased news fashion please.

I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. Corporations have been enthroned, an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money-power of the country will endeavor to prolong it’s reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until the wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed.

On the spot once again Kev-O. As you know I stand just a smidge left of you, but honestly, we’re both somewhere near the center. I believe that is the case with most americans, they’re not angry limbaugh right or low rated olberman left, they are near the center. With that said, I still cant believe the regurgitated (sp) crap I hear from some of my way right of center friends. They truly believe that CNBC, FOX RUSH etc. are telling them the facts. For example, I won a one hundred dollar bet the night before the presidential election. One of my buddies only watched fox and listened to elrushbo. He was certain that the latest polls had shown McCain leading by double didgets. He really believed what these gun toting, enviornment hating, racist freaks were preaching. I collected the 100 bucks but he paid me in one dollar bills.
Thats all I got for now.

I agree. I do like my news straight up. But then most people wouldn’t know what to think. They need their opinions formulated for them. In neat little packages…or articles. Thanks, Kevin! Now I know what to think this week

PS I LOVE Anne Curry & my brother-in-law was like, She has no personality. She just reports the news. UHM, That’s her job!

Im not one to watch Stewart or Colbert for my updates on the world, because they dont report on whats important or relevant.. they report on something they can mock and something that is already in the other media outlets.

Someone needs to create the ultimate internet news site. No bias, no clever comedy just facts about stuff that affects our lives now and in the future. News that calls out corrupt politicians and businessmen like the media was originally created to do. The internet is the only place it could be done now.
