They're actually talking about bias in MSN?
They should make an equal approach to their news and make news of it like they did of BBC.

Nice to see Fishu is in another pleasant mood.

All media are liars, get used to it, they do not tell the news, they SELL the news, and will manufacture whatever it is they need to do to make more money.

How is an entertainers viewpoint suddenly relevant to Iraq?

IIRC bashing them is a popular sport around here.  :D

Got to agree with Bodhi on this. News isn't about reporting facts or information any more. It's about attracting ratings or subscriber so they can contimue to get their advertizing dollars. Any other conclusions are just wishfull thinking. I've seen them in action and have no respect for the present media.

I also have to jump on that bandwagon.

There is not many unbiased news programs on any longer. There are too many conglomerates that own too many news programs over too broad of a spectrum.

It's becoming that I pretty much have to by two newspapers locally, and listen to PBR to get to the gist of most of it.

Kind of sounds like our politicians.

It's not all about ratings.  It's also about advancing the careers of politicians who regulate the media business.  The likes of Rupert Murdoch knows who can grease his empire machine.  If he needs to wave a flag to keep the grease flowing....so be it.
