Below are two different news sites at 9:40 AM. No news is actually similar. I'm confused about how easily manipulated they seem to highlight what fits their agenda. Fox News strikes me as people who want news. CNN for people who want fluff pieces and hate white people. See the bottom story "Google hires mostly white people". It's liberal race bating. Oh and by the way, a missing airline from another country is worth huge typeface.

CNN has become garbage. I'm gonna have to start reading Fox News now for my generic headlines.

Just seems like two different countries they're reporting on/out of.

Same story two different headlines.

Fox news: "Obama eats a puppy on live TV"

CNN: "Obama makes world safer for cats"

Fox isn't much better.

Don't get me wrong, I prefer news biased my direction, but the fake outrage about stuff like the Marine story is just tiresome.

If it were about meaningful news, the stories would be about the gun/feminism debate after the UCSB shooting and the Administration's incompetent outing of a station chief.

I don't watch a lot of news but FNC is about like MSNBC just on the opposite side.

CNN is the closest to the middle, IMO.

But I really must know how Gidget broke the rules in '60s TV!

And most news outlets seem to be biased and have their share of fluff pieces. I really hate the discussion/opinion pieces on news stories, where they just seem to make up shite to babble about to fill up 15 minutes or more.

You were making a good point until that quote. At that point you just let your political lean blind your argument.

If you're going to read the news online, why not read the actual news?

LOL at the OP trying to act like FNC is any better. The fact that people think FNC, CNN, and MSNBC is actually news scares the shite out of me.

CNN.com has definitely gone to seed. Ten years ago they were rock solid. Now half of their stories are complete fluff, and there are always two or three teaser links that don't say anything about what the story is about, forcing sheep to click. When they ditched SI for BR for sports I severed all ties.

They are the Today show of online news sites.

They're both fricking garbage and so are the legions of hand-stamped meatheads that choose consume it.

That was for you, CaptainPanic.

They are all the same. They all know their audience and they all pander to them.
