"You're in The Situation Room: where news and information from around the world arrive in one place at the same time."
Yeah, um, Wolf: that's what I call "television." Or "computers." It's not really interesting enough to make your show's slogan.

Do I need to stress the importance of viewing only the approved news network?
The Vast Right Wing Conspiracy (VRWC) requires all members to be in lock step. I have reported you, and you should do the right thing and take your re-education seminar seriously.
OK, now that I've played out THAT stereotype of conservatives... Why watch CNN at all? The bias is awful on that channel - for example, the economy added a lot o

Seriously though, I just watch News Hour and The Daily Show. News Hour is generally damn good journalism, and TDS is great satire. I can't take any of the opinion shows like The Factor, Hardball, Crossfire, etc.

Miller's a different subject, but Mahr has much of the same problem as TDS: when he realized people were listening to him,

Stewart has kinda become like Mahr was in the heyday of Politically Incorrect. Left-leaning but still worth tuning in to.

As to TDS, I agree there too, and I have by no means given up on it, but I simply have stopped watching for now. When they become the dancing monkey again, maybe I'll tune in again. Maybe when the Democrats win and they have less to bitch about. But not right away because then they will be too smug.
