Here's the flaw in saying they all try to sway details,while I certainly agree with V33 about his point for interpeting the state of affairs in present day. MSNBC and FOX weren't around back then. It was only CBS NBC and ABC. There was only one view coming out of these networks and it was liberal, there was no other view offered. Later, CNN stormed the market and for a while they gave a more centrist presentation of the news but after their ratings soared they went almost exclusively liberal too.

Then comes MSNBC, again, liberal. FOX NEWS, now the new kid on the block, says they want to do it fair and balanced but the biases of the hosts are obvious. I watch for media bias because it has always irritated me so much. The questions and answers given in all the interviews are calculated so as to shape public opinion. Given all of that, there are at least a few interviews and opinions given on FOX that are factual and not more campaign rhetoric. O'Reilly for one and few others from time to time. I completely disagree with the notion that everybody of FOX puts out the conservative message. I mean, among those employed by FOX are Chris Wallace and Heraldo Rivera for crying out loud.

My position on the matter is that one has to carefully consider what these guys are selling. Although, I do not believe you're going to ever hear any on the conservative side of an argument given any credibility on any other network other than FOX.

My observations about the liberal brainwashing coming from the networks over the course of time is accurate. The last time Walter Cronkite said "and that's the way it was" is the last time the news was presented with integrity from the main stream left leaning media. My saying that, does not mean that I think you can take anything you hear on FOX to the bank. I will say that one at least has a chance of hearing the truth on there, and only seldom will you get it real from the rest. Although, very occassionally a bunker buster will get dropped by somebody like Chris Matthews, when he raked Obama for not having any answers on the US economy. RV can and will line up with those yo-yo's come what may, and that's fine for him.
