Mims on traffic was just an odd choice this morning. It was like a good ol' fashion tent revival preacher trying to do the traffic with his cadence. All I could picture was him trying to do traffic in a big market like DC or NYC. Luckily, I think a couple of trees down was the highlight of the segment.
DW is a good foil to RT. The truth is usually somewhere in between. BBC, like the Economist, tends to be reasonably even keeled in its US reporting, but I have to sift through a lot of a UK lens. It is awesome, but sometimes tiring, to look for things through multiple perspectives.

It's unfortunate that Americans don't realize they're getting only 1/2 the story.
You never heard about the half million Iraqis killed during our invasion. for the most part.
When I first went to Europe which is bigger, more populated, and in some respects more advanced than we are, I realized that our media is so America-focused as if the rest of the world is only useful for vacation purposes.

NY doesn't really do much on tv as if it's important at all.
They'll say 2-3 remarks and be done in 10 seconds.

+1 from my experiences as well. If the news is any indication, we are basically clueless. BBC is the only hope.
I pretty much stopped watching Network or cable news a long time ago because they no longer report the news they report what they want and slant it to their political views. It's no longer news it political propaganda.
As far as the local news channels I again have pretty much given up watching. Their national news stories are again being written as directed by politics. If that wasn't enough to drive me away some of the newer morning anchors on WRAL are way to .... I think the word is unprofessional. Way to much laughing and injecting their personal opinions regarding NEWS !! Just read the script and leave all the buddy buddy crap to off-air. Thank GOD for the internet .... I can and do get most of my national and international news these days from the BBC.
And yet the popular opinion on here is that WRAL anchors are too wooden without real banter.
Everyone says WTVD has more "real" anchors.
The media's objective is to sensationalize and rile people up with sound bytes taken out of context.
It is polarizing Americans to such a degree that no even knows the whole story anymore about anything.
It's just accelerating our country's fall from the top.
