Hi John, FOX is pretty fair and balanced and I often enjoy Naked News.  There is also a tractor channel on DISH which takes your mind off what the other two channels to which I referred offer.

PS, Editorials, I believe, are intended to be opinionated.

I consider this election to be one of the more consequential in my lifetime.  However, there is one current situation that really concerns me and don't see it getting corrected in the near future, if ever.  And that is biased news reporting. From my perspective I JUST FLAT DON'T TRUST THAT I AM GETTING UNBIASED NEWS FROM ANY SOURCE. I try to follow in excess of 20 different news sources and it is absolutely very troubling how the same news is reported in so many different biased ways.  But even more troubling to me is how much of the bias is subliminal and not readily noticed unless one makes an effort to have your antennas really tuned for it.  There is an undercurrent of subliminal bias such that our minds are being polluted without our knowledge or recognition. That is really scary to me. I wish I had an answer for this prob!
> lem but it is so pronounced that each news organization requires two different reports of each news event and then let the listener decide which version they want to believe.  It really a sad state of affairs that we have gotten ourselves into this position but IMHO it is a cancer growing on our Democracy, if not corrected, will eventually send us down the same failure path as the Roman empire. I find it very disturbing that the wiki leaks are now accomplishing what the press used to uncover through investigative reporting. IMHO the current press ought to be completely embarrassed that they didn't uncover this info using legitimate methods and means. The solution I see is further growth of the independent non conventional press.  We need a strong independent unbiased press as a check and balance on our currently corrupt government.  Right now we have way too many cheerleaders rather than serious unbiased reporting.  When the press can be bought we will rapidly deteriorate i!
