"I don't watch cable news in general. Its all tripe - the "anchors", who basically read text off a teleprompter, are nothing more than empty talking heads who are more interested in how they look and in hearing their own voices than what they are saying."That's true of all TV news. The stories are researched and written often by reporters. The fact that they hire an idiot with blonde hair and big breasts doesn't change the news itself. "I get my news from the blogs. They are the most honest." Maybe and maybe not. It depends who is writing them. Blogs can be a great source of early news tip-offs, or just ignorant drivel written by people with hidden agendas or even less of a clue than the TV anchors. Also, TV stations select news that's visually appealing to a mass audience. Blogs can afford to cover things not intended for a general audience. |
