The Most Credible US Media Source

[Bunz]

OK Folks, throughout debate on this site, I see criticism here on HOP complaining about the viability of various media sources. So, I ask you, who is the most credible media source in your mind?

"media source" of what?​

 

[Bunz]

"media source" of what?​

Of news.

none are good, you need to listen to both sides then you need to research the area they disagreed on to get the truth.

 

[Andy]

Agreed. I typically research stuff on my own, getting from a variety of sources.

I also typically avoid mass media sources. They have proven to me to be not very credible for any information. The worst being 30 second news reports on TV. Just awful inaccurate reporting on so many issues, it's pathetic.

I agree with the first part, but think that if you watch both CNN and FOX, you can get a pretty good idea of what is really going on. Then, if you learn to surf the internet and separate fact from fiction, that will help, too.

CNN is so biased, it's not even a joke anymore. Remember the "undecided" voter plants at the Democratic national debate? Or how about Soledad telling Ron Pual that everyone called him a flake? Or how about them calling the VP debate for Biden, when there were more voting for Palin? Or when they asked Palin about someone at the national review, saying they couldn't tell if "she was dumb, stupid, incompetent or corrupt and backwards", when in fact it wasn't posted to the National Review yet, and was about bias media coverage of Palin, not actually about her. (talk about ironic)

Let's not forget those super tough questions CNN asked Obama like...

"Do you feel you messed up in letting it get this far?" referring to Tom Dashel
“Do you feel you have lost some of that moral high ground which you set for yourself on day one with the ethics reform?”
“On executive compensation... ...your tough talk may be just for show. What can you really do?”

And my personal favorite...

“But this is what American people are hearing about, whether rightly or wrongly. And, I mean, did the -- did the Republicans beat you on selling this, on selling the message? Did you lose the message?”

Rightly or wrongly? How can you hear of $120 Million dollars earmarked for "honey bee insurance"... 'wrongly'? And all he can ask is... "did you lose the message?"

I don't know about Fox News because I have never gotten Fox News, but CNN is so far off the scale left, that it's just a pathetic joke for anyone not to see it unless they are way over in fruity conspiracy world.

My favorite was when Anderson Cooper apologized and showed absolute discomfort in having to cover the story on the Rev. Wright saying God damn America and the other queer things he said in church and how unfair it was that the world was forcing him to cover the story.

CNN is everything you said and more, but the really really sad part is.... they are a billion times better than MSNBC

Your references to World Nutz Daily were (truely) outstanding!!

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!​

Once again Shaman, you are #1 at being wrong. I have specifically not cited World Net Daily for my information, specifically because I know that no matter how truthful the information might be, the leftist idiots will assume it's wrong simply because of the source.

I can't even remember the last time I actually visited WND. Here you are laughing about me citing a source I've almost never cited. That's exactly what I expect from this forums least reliable source of information. You can't even make an accurate insult of other forum members.

Moreover, you routinely cite CrookandLiars, a blog that is at least 20X as error ridden as WND has ever been. Yet you think your going to laugh about World Net Daily?

lol... You might have a bright future as a punch line.

You should try to get Fox. I think you would like it. Still, given your political philosophy, you might just find even Fox a little too left leaning, just not quite as "socialistic" as CNN.

Here are some excerpts from Fox on line:

This from Oliver North (remember him, the traitor who is the darling of the self described conservatives?)

In the days since the most expensive Inaugural in history, the “rivals” have delivered a performance more akin to that of venal, self-serving, steroid-popping Major League Baseball players. Their promise to “focus like a laser” on the economy has produced “stimulus legislation” that even Senator Charles Schumer describes as “porky.” The “bank bailout” briefing proffered this week by tax-dodging Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner was so confusing and short on details that the stock market tanked - again. That’s only what the so-called mainstream media deemed worthy of coverage or comment.

Here's another editorial from Fox:

People have been speculating all week about how the economic spendulus bill will affect our financial markets. It certainly will, but the real tell-tale sign is what Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner’s plans are to dethaw our troubled credit markets, the crux of our crisis. We need action from his department to get banks to write off bad debts, creditors to pay off bad debts, and we need banks to start lending again while the aforementioned are happeneing. So far, no sensible solutions have emerged from Team Obama.

Check it out. If you find Fox too leftist for your taste, I'm afraid I have nothing else to suggest.

Well, maybe Anne Coulter.

There is no such thing as unbiased media. There probably never has been.

All media outlets are there for exactly one purpose; to manipulate opinion in the direction supported by whoever is paying for the airtime. Think campaign ads disguised as news.

Commercials are probably the most honest form of media manipulation. At least they are being straightforward about trying to sell you their product.

I just puked on the floor...sorry

Faux News is by far the worst..nothing but a Republican propaganda arm

Check this out..

Fox passes off GOP press release as its own research -- typo and all

In purporting to "take a look back" at how the economic recovery plan "grew, and grew, and grew," Fox News' Jon Scott referenced seven dates, as on-screen graphics cited various news sources from those time periods -- all of which came directly from a Senate Republican Communications Center press release. A Fox News on-screen graphic even reproduced a typo contained in the Republican press release.

How embarrassing for those that watch and defend Faux News....you've been had!
