This country has a very idiotic media indeed, who came up with this stupid format where everytime they report something, they have to bring on some "expert" to talk about it, most of the time those experts just state the obvious anyways. And who came up with the idea that news have to be "entertaining"? FOX News is good at making the news entertaining in a very stupid way sometimes. I like the news from CBC (Canada) and BBC, they just report the news in a serious way, that is it, no circus, drama or BS like we do here.
I agree with you 100% on the BBC & CBC. They turn off the "Show Time" and stick to reading the news.
I'm weary of them. FOX News and the Limbaughs and Hannitys of the world are just sick freakazoids. But the liberal news media are no less attention whores. HuffingtonPost, for example. Every day, they have this big HUGE headline, in blazing red letters, meant to sensationalize and cause concern. Right now, it's: AMERICA CHALLENGED, with a subtitle indicating ominous violence to come. It's sickening. And what's with the talking heads proliferation on television? My god, if I had to listen to myself talk that much every damn day, I'd be bored to tears. And yet they just LOVE it: from Hannity to Maddow--blah,blah,blah,blah,blah. A bunch of ratings whores. The whole damn lot of them should be completely ignored.
In the morning I watch Morning Joe, and in the evening I've gotten into Campbell Brown's show just so I don't have to watch Olbermann or O'Reilly. Aside from that the BBC is awesome. I'd also recommend CBC's "The National" with Peter Mansbridge. Last time I checked they had streaming video from their website and it's really good.
I recommend the Daily Show and the Cobear Repoar for serious news reporting.
You're not too far off with that statement. I do like watching the Daily Show just to hear what I'm feeling when I listen to all this talk of bailouts and government giveaways. Jon Stewart gets the anger and frustration out with just the right bit of sarcastic comedy.
