I dunno...........the fact that a comedy news show gets more acclaim
than the real serious ones kinda says something about our society these
days, don't it?

Yeah, it says that "real" news networks need to quit pushing their agendas.
Fox has one, CNN has one, Rather has one, O' Reilly has one, etc. The news
networks are shills. If you want real news, use the various sources on the
net.
Rubbish. Changing the medium doesn't change the bias.
Not at all. There are outlets in all media that are less controlled than
the major channels (n. tv) but they are rare and usually don't last as
long.
I don't understand what this sentence means.
Little Engines that could report without corporate and/or government
bias usually can't for very long. This can be radio, newspaper,
magazine, tv -- whatever channel that could be used.

What does that mean, "it does change the specific biases, but it doesn't
eliminate the existence of bias in general"? That makes no sense either.
What I'm simply saying is, if you say to yourself, "TV is biased and they
all have agendas, so I'm going to avoid that by reading the net" you're
borderline retarded. Just because it's not TV doesn't mean it's not JUST as
biased if not MORE biased with even MORE of an agenda. What, you're going to
get your arab news from the al-jazeera website instead of fox news? You
think that an aggregate news source (news.google.com) is somehow magically
less biased because it's just "more news"? It's just a collection of varied
agendas collected under similar subject matter. That's all. You can google
news search for "George Bush" and find whatever you *want* to find. You can
find articles saying he's the greatest thing since sliced bread or you can
find articles saying he's the antichrist incarnate. Somehow attaching more
credibility to something and operating under the assumption that there's
somehow "less agenda pushing" when you simply switch from one medium to
another is just patently ridiculous.

I was kind of surprised at O'Reilly(Yeah, I'm an idiot). For all the
bitching O'Reilly has done about the illegal immigrants he basically got
on his knee's and shined Bush's knob.
Wait...so there's Engines? I'm lost. What's this thread about again?
Porn. What else?
