Thats odd. Are they all owned by political parties or interests?
Actually no. They are owned and run by people who tend to lean left. CBS, ABC, and NBC run a newscast that show 3 American Soldiers killed and 6 wounded by a roadside bomb, and keeps hinting that the war is lost.
FOX News runs the same story, followed by a story of American servicewomen (medics) doing classes with Iraqi women about healthcare and free check-ups for their kids. Then reminds viewers the violence is a fraction of what it was before the "troop surge".
Like minded folks watch like minded news sources. Conservitive folks usually watch Fox News. Middle of the road folks like NBC News. Liberal folks like CBS. REALLY liberal folks like ABC.
Each network tries get a "piece of the ratings pie".
It's all about ratings.Fox News has a lock on the conservatives and the cable news (CNN trails FOX in the ratings...but is also very liberal).
The other three "traditional" non-cable tv national news networks are then forced to go the other way...divy up the liberal viewers.
While not owned by political interests, the traditional non-cable networks are owned and run by interests that tend to lean liberal...it's just a matter of how much at the time. And yes, they can sway public opinion by those newscasts.
You are in a good place Nilsen. Norway seems pretty laid back. You never hear of Norway beating up on it's neighbors, starting wars, having terrorists blow up your buildings, or having terrorist kingpins call Norway the Satan of all Satans. That's a good thing for your children and their children.
