How would you rank the networks?

[Was_Immer]

I have been curious and never could find the answer. How would you rank the networks in terms of Liberal, Concervative, and totally straight down the middle.

I mean obviously Fox news would be the bottom, most concervative.

CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, MSNBC/CNBC, Fox News, even PBS/NPR

1. Nazi Propaganda

Nazi propaganda. They have their own agenda buying more stations and outlets and pushing crappy music and blame it on downloading. While the Howard dean scream was going on they pushed Kerry out because they saw him as the weakest. They had two agendas. They put their constitutional rights over peoples right to a fair trial. They resemble Algezera like when they showed the planes flying into the world trade center a million times and the stock market crashed and the economy is shot and Bush goofed it up more by not invading Saud and trumping up charges on Iraq to protect his oil buddies. He can never justify why he invaded Iraq before Saudi Arabia. The media here is like Aljezera they show stories on be headings and the terrorist eat it up. They showed the towers collapsing whats the difference with that and showing be headings. They show the same thing as Algezera but show partial clips and somehow its sanitized. Bush has it all wrong they are out of control he wants to amend the Constitution on gay marriage give me a break he should really amend where it matters by changing the first amendment rights of the media so some people can get a fair trial and they will stop justifying those sanitized terrorist clips. They would say what about my rights I have rights I'm just reporting. My response give me a break...

4. CNN concervative?

I agree with your list, but I wouldn't put CNN that low. Honestly, not lower than MSNBC.

I have alot of concervative friends that hate CNN because they say its democrats version of FOX. Its clearly not even close to that, but honestly, do you find it that concervative?

They seem pretty balanced to me.

6. I Do

Wolf Blitzer alone makes me want to vomit for his GOP cheerleading. But,like the previous poster said,they may not be one right answer to this question.

7. CNN is not conServative enough...

for Far-Right-Wingers.

Just one example: how much airtime did CNN spend on the lies spouted by Swiftboat Veterans for the Truth, and how much airtime did they spend on the matter once these Swiftboat Vets turned out to be liars?

How much time did/does CNN spend on the National Guard papers/Dan Rather case, and how much time did they spend on the forged Niger Yellowcake papers that enabled the mushroom-cloud scare which arguably swayed public opinion in favor of war?

Ok, that's two examples.

3. There`s no right answer, only opinion on this one.

My opinion excludes Fox, a channel I refuse to watch. The rest of them lack in every area I can think of: international news, investigative reports,substantive reporting. Networks no longer seem interested in monotoring the centers of power....they`re part of it.

Anchors and newsreaders are often times as much of the story as the story itself. NBC has shamelessly allowed their `stars` to act as shills for one another`s books, a pratice that has no place in news programming. It has now been established and accepted that sensationalism will win out over substance, a troubling development given the situation in many parts of the world.

All one has to do is watch one airing of Democracy Now on Link TV, BBC World News or any international news outlet to understand just how bad our network news is. One of the best examples I can give occured during the early part of the invasion of Iraq. International stations were asking tough questions while U.S. outlets were covering Freedom Fries events and parroting administration talking points.

I`ve believed for a very long time that network news needs an overhaul but until American viewers show as much interest in the truth as they do The Survivor, that won`t happen.
