Anyone who watches please explain. They are just low forms of entertainment. The last gasp of a dying industry. You could learn more from E! or Nickelodeon.

All news is politically biased.

The only way you can avoid that is to shut off all news sources.

Not as low entertainment as C-D Politics on old-school forum format. Might as well ask why do you post on C-D? Answer is the same.

Feels like MSNBC and Fox are just more blatant on their viewpoints.

I don't watch any of them. I might stop on each on a channel surf just for giggles, especially since MSNBC and FOX are so close. It's entertaining to flip back and forth between the two of them.

Your opinion. I guess this is why programs like "meet the Press" have been around for decades? What do you think is going to replace TV, your tablet and then where do we get a cross section of views? We all know the print media is dying.

I happen to enjoy watching cross section of programming. I do not watch MSNBC it is just too far left and too biased for me. FOX, at least does have contributors from both sides, though we all know it leans right. I can take CNN. Let me also add, do you think we all watch TV period just to get educated? Has it dawned on you some of us watch TV to be entertained? You may find this a waste of time, I find it relaxing.

Let ask you: why do you spend time of c-d, are you getting educated or learning something? Most of us spend time on C-D for pure enjoyment and to get a cross section of views.

I’ve found NYT and WaPo to be just as blatant and partisan.

Merely the form of media is different.

Meet the Press I have not seen in a while, but I recall it being more of a discussion so that isn't so bad.

The channels I mentioned have programming in 5 minute slices where people tell at each other or deliver propaganda. They are never challenged to think. Then, they use teases and fancy graphics to manipulate their dumb audience.

It is a low form of entertainment. Like reading the National Enquirer.

NYT, Washpo, most big city papers, AP, Reuters, and the TV outlets, NBC/MSNBC, CNN, ABC, CBS, PBS, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Google, MSN, etc are ALL Far Left. Fox admittedly promotes their conservative shows (Not Shep Smith or Bret Baier, etc) as CONSERVATIVE OPINION shows, not news like the networks and CNN. Also Fox presents both sides, and while the host may lean right, they at least give the Left the airtime to state their case.
