Only posting in politics because I believe the majority of people receive their political options from these two stations. I wonder what could be causing the exodus? :whistling:

Wait, Did CNN Just Lose HALF Of Its Viewers?

Perhaps viewers are sick and tired of the same half-assed recycled stories about Kim Kardashian, the same shiny Piers Morgan celebrity interviews, and perhaps a war weary public is also not so quick to slurp up CNN's incoherent Iran warmongering.

I go back and forth between finding David Seaman compelling and whackadoo.

God help us all if people are getting their news from The Young Turks instead of CNN or Fox.

Good thing I get all of my news from the good fair and balanced places like HuffPo, NPR and BBC

I get my news from a variety of sources. I figure that helps me get a more complete picture. I use RSS feeds to keep track of the world.

I am subscribed to:
Fox
CBS
AP
UPI
WSJ
BBC
NPR
NBC (wsmv)
Columbia Daily Herald
KNS vols xtra
UT sports
Bleacher Report
Cato
Reason
Lew Rockwell
10th Amendment Center
Cnet
SciAm
Chattanooga Times Free Press
How Appealing (this is a legal feed, really interesting)
Institute for Justice
Titans news

Takes me a while to read all of these every day and I don't read every article but I read all the headlines and summaries, but that is how I keep track of what is going on. I figure the more you limit yourself, the more you will get a limited view of the world.

Aljazeera News is pretty fair and balanced. And I'm being funny, but I'm not kidding. Watch it. You'd be surprised.

people are just turning away from this kind of media as a whole. How many under 50-60yo still watch the evening news? It's easier to get an overview of the news of the day by visiting a couple sites throughout the day. The 24hr news stations served their purpose

I don't know why the networks even bother with having news divisions anymore.

GSVol is a good source for unbiased news with visual effects.

You bet your sweet bippy.

Truer words were never spoken.

Nothing better than BBC.

The BBC is owned by and is a mouthpiece for the British government, admitedly they do have vast resources.

Al-Jazeera News is owned and operated by the Muslim Brotherhood.

The 900 lb gorilla of news is the AP, (which I dubbed the Arab Press long ago.)

Look how many stories in your local newspaper are AP sourced.

In a remote site a good many years ago that was equipped to intercept most any sort of signal sent via the airwaves, we would copy the raw AP wire.

This was strictly illegal but was the best (only) reliable way to get game scores in a timely manner so we could run our football pool.

You might have to copy for hours before the scores came up and sometimes the guys would give me reams of copy to brouse through.

What reporters from the field send in and what the editors put out sometimes bear only faint resemblence once the spin is in.

The AP used to have decent competition from the UPI but you rarely see any UPI stories anymore. Personally I think the UPI is a front for the company, (aka CIA) but that is just a guess.

They're really subtle about their biases. They ran a story about "vulture investors" who buy up foreclosed properties and bid up the price so first-time home buyers are supposedly getting squeezed.

The other side of the story is these "vulture investors" are cleaning up America's housing debacle. If the foreclosure next to your house has to wait for first-time home buyer to pick it up, you had better get used to mowing two lawns.
