I think it was a very bad thing wwhen Reagan ended "The Fairness Doctrine", which helped keep news reporting from beign slanted by opinion.

And no, not all news outlets are the same. Tehy faqctual content of every News network other than fox is far more factually based.

I keep hearing how the right wing says the media has a liberal bias. However liberal policiesand agendas are based on collected data (facts), and so the more factual the reporting the more it seems to be biase3d towards liberals.

On the conservative side, it is true that the facts fro9m collected data suggest policies that reduce profits, so they try to cast doubt on the facts. Global Warming is th emost ovbious target right now.

So plicitcs in America in its most simplistic form is the facts on the left versus higher profits on the right.
