I know most of you watch fox and steer clear of the others, and that’s fine. I tend to lean towards fox as well. But I think all of us would agree, whether democrat or Republican, that we need a news network that works the center. All of the far left stuff and a lot of the far right is just tiring for me and millions of others who are moderate or center-right.

Thoughts?

Totally agree! Just tell me the news, with no left or right twist!
We need Walter Cronkite back!

Unfortunately I’m too young to remember Walter Cronkite lol. I just want to see a newscast where we receive the news, no bias, and be able to make our own judgements.

Downvoted incoming but....

Shep Smith’s new evening show on CNBC does a pretty damn good job IMO.

You may want to dig into Cronkite’s politics. One could argue he was the genesis point for what the media is today.

Shep reported the news and everyone hates him because he would sometimes have news that was negative about Trump.
See above post.

Oann and MSNBC are unwatchable though.

You're obviously too young to remember the Tet offensive.

Tucker, Hannity, Laura, Water’s World, Mark Levin are conservative. I think Shannon Bream is too. Not sure because I rarely watch that show. I’ve pretty much quit watching them before 7 Central.

I also like Lou Dobbs on Fox Business.

There’s no money to be made on such a product.

Someone needs to revive the Headline News Format.

Give us 30 minutes, we give you the world.

News has become too self-obsessed with dried up panelists that don’t know anything and spread propaganda as truth.

The biggest thing is when all panelists despite the network say the same talking points. We hired you to give your opinion not someone else’s.

OP said we need a network not just a newsman. It would be nice to have a station that is mostly unbiased 24/7 and not just 2-3 hours in a day's time.

The avid, active watchers of 24/7 politics most all of the time news are either way to the right or to the left. The center I think get on with their lives. Anyone who watches 24/7 news for either affirmation of biases or as a habit is a sick. The stuff is not entertainment nor is it a religion.
