On the flip side, its just as easy to write off dissenting opinions as 'propaganda'.

Just curious, but what do you think the world's opinion of CNN is?

Answer: not unbiased news...



Of course all media is biased.

It doesn't mean that it's equally biased.


All media is biased, etc. The important thing is to understand the bias when you're reading.

To sibling: only Fox News is owned by Murdoch. You can google for who owns what instead of guessing. MSNBC is biased to the (American) left and CNN is biased to insipidness. All are biased to the establishment and to distract, sensationalism.


Fox has been kicking CNN etc.'s asses in a commercial sense for decades now. We'd be fools to think that hasn't affected the other networks' reporting. We'd also be fools to think that Fox and MSNBCSBCNC operate from different ends of a spectrum. It's all USA all the time, on both networks. For an alternative try RT or Al Jazeera.


wait, anybody actually things about any US big media (cnbc, cnn, fox and whatnot) to be NOT biased and quite heavily? they are all under murdoch empire, no?

generally, within boundaries of popular news sources, one should use a foreign source to get information for a given country. now finding which one is +-balanced for given country is a tricky thing, and probably not constant as time goes by
