I don't watch television, hate the commercial breaks and that most programs don't get in depth enough.\n\nI am an addict to radio. \n\nI've listened to National Public Radio ever since I can remember. Morning Edition and All Things Considered are my favorite shows. \n\nI love the interviews, the in depth coverage and the on-location reporting. \n\nIf it were on Television, it would be the show I watch!\n\n\n(I also listen to the BBC for a little variety)

Fox news is. As is Dick "Last Throes" Cheney, Ann Coulter, Karl Rove, Rush and the Right Wing Echo Chamber.\nThe American people are wising up according to the latest polls.\nThis is another Vietnam quagmire. These people can't learn from history! \nWhat would you do if a foreign army occupied the U.S.? Welcome them with flowers! Get Real!\nWe're creating terrorists the longer we are there.\nAnd now they're talking about giving amnesty to Iraqi's who have attacked and killed U.S. troops! This whole adventure is misquided, driven by people who have never been in a combat situation..\nWe got rid of Saddam now let's go home. But we can't because the Administration really wants to stay forever and build permanent bases.\nWhat do you expect from an oil-man wannabe war president?\nWe've got to put an end to this madness!

Glenn Beck does give a somewhat comical truth of the news.  I have listened to him on the radio for a very long time.  Some of his stuff is not entertaining to me but he does tell most of the truth.  Fox cable news is the best, regardless of what the left wing tells you.  Their actual news reporting IS fair and balanced and most of their talk shows that have the guests with their own opinions are pretty well balanced. That is they, under normal circumstances, have a guest from the Democrats and one from the Republicans.  They also have libertarians, on occasion.

The trend that aggrevates me the most is how local news is broadcasting more and more world news... only to have the world news come on right after it. Stupid... I like local news to be local news. If there isn't enough bad news to report... then report something good for a change.

sadly not much, and this is only referring to the basic system here and how it should work.  if one extends the idea of knowledge of the system to include government actions and such, its probably even lower.  i would like to think i have a fair understanding of it overall, but i know very little actually except what manages to leak out about what goes on behind the closed doors in dc.  a more process transparent government would be very nice.

Yes.  The news filtered through some foreign political editing process is just as good as the news filtered through domestic political editing.

None of the shows you listed are actual news sources. A real news source has objective reporting (which isn't all that easy to find, but it does exist.)

Yeah I was about to ask that question. The Law and Order page says it's new and then the main NBC page says theres news. Gosh darn it! I was looking forward to a new episode all day! :( Who needs to watch a whole show on the elections, people can just freaking go read about it in the paper or online to find out the results!

I remember watching him extend the evening news to cover the hostage crisis. That grew into the nightly show he hosted for 25 years. I assume you refer to the current report. It was pretty good. One theme that runs through American news reports is a lack of unbiased, prism free journalism. Your media knowingly dismisses the extremes of issues so you get this vague middle of the road view. \n\nIf you want to see better reports try the BBC or CBC. There have been ongoing in depth documentary style reports for decades from these excellent sources. Ted tried but didn't quite live up to the Canadian and British standards. PBS is better than ABC. Fox is a sad joke.

I do not trust any american news outlet. They are all influenced by the government.
