I stopped paying attention to CNN, FOX, and whatever other US ratings based "news" services years ago. The news services PBS offers, along with the BBC are quite good if you want news, and not ratings attracting stories about some Anna lady.


Fox is a joke. I'm sorry but anyone that can't see that at this point is, IMHO, a retard. The only thing it is good for is to keep a check and be aware of some of the absurd crap some people can think up.

I keep CNN as my homepage. I don't really know why, I never use any of the video features or anything. I suppose I'm just a brand name whore. But really I just use that for headlines, for the majority of my news, I go to NPR.

I'm a HUGE NPR fan at this point. I know some people will say "well blah, blah, blah they have a leftist slant." I just don't see it. Mostly I end up listening to Day to Day or All Things Considered and they pretty much tell you how it is, and most of the time they keep it interesting.

I think its just human nature to be skeptical of any source that strays too far from your own.
