Author Topic: Americans receive only limited and biased news (Read 2277 times)

I love it when someone says that Americans receive only limited news (CNN) while implying that they get the "real" news.

Americans probably have access to more news sources than any other people.

Is there a secret news source that I am not aware of ?

of course, but it is secret, we can't tell you about it.

In my hundreds of channels of Adelphia programing the only news networks I get are CNN, some BBC, and a lot of FOX. I get the feeling something is being shoved down my mind when I try to get informed watching TV.

Last month when I visited the Dominican Republic, there also were some nice Spanish, French, and mediterranean news channels. None of that extremist crap, just news.

It sure is nice being able to see the news from all sorts of different perpectives. CNN feels to propagandish at times, and FOX is a parody of real news. Its the american equivalent of Iraqui propaganda TV.

Is PR in America?

So when you see Spanish, French and DR news, you are able to determine that it is "just news" and not "extremest crap?

Sad to see lack of education is still such a prevalent problem.

Animal I fail to see the point that your map is supposed to illustrate.

I stated that Americans have access to more news than most other countries. You are not American.

You asked if Puerto Rico was in America, I showed you a map of America so you could educate yourself.

I'm not an American?
Lets see here. I was born in America. My parents were born in America. I live in America. Not only that, but I have a US citizenship and passport.

Again, education in the US is in sad shape

Oh, and your statement about Americans having more news sources, that is just ignorant.

In the DR, for example, they have all the news channels we have (fox, nbc, cnn, bbc) plus a bunch of other news channels I certainly dont get on Adelphia or DirectTV. They also have broadband access to the internet.

I'd say they have more access to news than the average person in the USA.

PR is not part of of the US as much as you wish it was.

Plus, your map shows PR as a dot without color because it's so small

LOL, you are wrong in so many levels.

Really, are you this ignorant, or is it just a character?

Is PR a US state? Thus, PR is not a part of the US ( United Sates)

What does that have anything to do with the original arguement?

NUKE, I'm sorry but I dont have the time to educate you. Please do your own research before you participate in this kind of discussion.

Or dont, and remain being stupid and an embarassment to other Americans.

I guess I am.

You post a map that means nothing while trying to claim that PR is part of the United States.
