I'm surprised there is still a large percentage, albeit a minority, of people that trust the likes of CNBC and CNN for any credible news.

The fact that the Solyndra scandal is being completely ignored by them shows how serious their bias is.

The duped minority seems to be a vocal majority on C-D.

For those who remember the NY Times and the thorough stories they would print, todays media, whether it be TV, magazine, cable or the NYT the intent of the media produced information has obviously been degraded.

The difference is clear that the media has become a propaganda arm for the obama administration. It has gone far beyond expected bias to create an impression favorable to those in power. The media has abandoned its role as government watchdog and thus has let freedom wither on the vine of misinformation and direct messages.

The loss of the media as governemt watchdog is the greatest travesty the country has ever endured.

I agree. Fox seems to be the only place in the MSM that is covering the Solyndra scandal, and the gun runner scandal. If the others are covering it, they probably are not covering it as much as Fox is

I came here to vent after watching a supposed news report about the election. I won't mention the news organization for fear of having a senior moment, but I am certain about the subject.

They were talking about some lady asking Romney if he thought the president should be impeached. They did not go to the lady and ask her why she was asking this question. They did not check to see if there was any reason many people think this president should be impeached. The only thing they were doing was the 24/7 campaigning for Obama they have been doing for more than four years. They found fault with Romney suggesting that it is his job to defend the person he his running against. How stupid can anyone who claims to be a reporter get???!!!

Romney did nothing wrong, the lady did nothing wrong, but you have a duty to report the news and you did nothing right. It is not your job to defend the president and it is not your job to tell us or Romney how he should run his campaign, but it is your job to ask why the lady was asking Romney the question.

And if you would do your job, we might end up with a president the next time that knows the constitution and has a will to follow it.

If people mistrust the media, and Fox news is one of the biggest media stations, that means people don't trust Fox

I watch both the right and left stations and they are both biased, hands down, night and day, black and white, left and right.

Watch C-span.

The US media sucks, for sure, so does Fox. But the obedient robots like to believe Fox is a shining light in the tunnel. They believe everything Fox says.
