But I think there's a difference.

People like Jon Stewart, Limbaugh, etc. are KNOWN as biased talking heads, if not comedians. What's really disturbing is that the mainstream media tries to convince people they're objective and unbiased.

America no longer has a news media. We have a propaganda ministry. Unfortunately, most people aren't paying enough attention to see it.

Agreed. It's INFOTAINMENT

I do believe that NPR is pretty balanced though, as well as many of PBS's political talk shows.

NPR and PBS both typically have a left-leaning slant.


I think the key is seeking out a broad and diverse variety of sources for our information. Don't listen to just one radio station, read just one newspaper or magazine, or watch just one TV newscast.

That's would be illegal and is just your opinion.

PBS and NPR are partially funded by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting which in turn is paid for with public funds (taxes) and their content is monitored by the US Congress (even when it was Republican)

But I do agree one should gather news from a variety of sources.
