You can interpret everything as part of the system reinforcing the system, including resistance to the system.

ESPN has played a major role in the SECs rise to dominance.
Good football players helped as well.

Maybe, but manipulating the placement of headlines is a pretty far cry from showing that the NY Times is "very, very, far left".
We're not talking about the difference between respectable news sources and the Drudge Report here.

Al Jazeera America & BBC World News are the two sources that I find to be objective.
In the end, I hate the fact that our national news is so caught up in catering towards a certain demographic. Instead of just getting the news out there and allowing the audience to interpret it as they may

It's easier to be told how to feel than to analyze something yourself.

I have entirely given up on television news and even most newspaper publications, though I have heard AJ is good. BBC is as well. PBS is and always will be solid.
I just don't think TV is a good thing anymore. Actually, I know it is not.

More and more people get their information and entertainment from the internet. The networks-not just the news networks, but all networks-are left fighting over a shrinking, splintering audience.
Who watches TV any more? People over 50 (and especially over 60), the less educated, the less intelligent, the less sophisticated. That's who the networks go after. So you've got Fox's shrillness and scare tactics, interspersed with commercials for catheters and gold bullion. CNN's fluff pieces, although Anderson Cooper and a few others do good journalism when management lets them. Say what you will about MSNBC's bias, but they do operate from the assumption that their audience has more than an 8th grade education. But people like that are all on the internet, which is why MSNBC's ratings are so low.
As for whether any of them believe that shite-Hannity and a few others-and on the left, Maddow and a few others probably do. The behind the scenes people all graduated from the same schools and migrate back and forth between jobs. Greg Gutfeld's producer may be working for Chris Hayes next month and Wolf Blitzer next year. They throw whatever shite against the wall the powers that be tell them to.

This is why I watch BBC and Al Jazeera

I find most television news had to watch [local & national]. It's all about being the first to the story and getting your spin on the situation out before the competition.
What's sad is FOXN,CNN & MSNBC don't even try to hide the agenda they have anymore. It's all in plain sight and people just eat up.

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.
Watching Anchorman 2 make fun of how the news is now was funny and true.
"Why tell the people what they need to hear, when you can tell them what they want to hear"
THey aren't news channels, just like reality tv isn't real. They will do whatever it takes to get ratings. period.

The sad truth is virtually all media has either a left or right slant. Virtually all traditional major media outlets leans left, some far left, others less so. Only Fox goes to the Right.But there is a growing number of non-traditional media outlets that are emerging that like Fox have a right tilt to their reporting.
What we're missing is media that is pretty much down the middle. I've seen some mention outlets such as CNN, Al Jezeera, BBC, and PBS as being down the middle which is laughable, especially the BBC & PBS. All of those outlets lean left and in the case of the BBC & PBS they actually lean far left.
What we as the public are left to do is try and sort through the news we receive each day and understand the slant that is being put on it. Get your news from different sources and understand that you can't just blindly accept what you're being told. Instead you're going to have to think for yourself to come to an intelligent decision on what any particular new story actually means.

No it isn't. The NYT is unabashedly a liberal institution. There is a difference in saying it is a leftist publication and saying it is a worthless publication.

Yep...all you need to do is read between the lines of their postings: "Fox doesn't bow down to our savior Obama and cover for him like the rest of the media"..to see why they hate Fox. They take the cue from their unqualified leader for their hatred of Fox.
