Is it too much to ask that we have one news show that has the sole purpose of keeping the country informed not from a conservative or liberal slant...
I want the news that informs me with facts and not polls or feelings or two partisan hacks arguing from some position developed by ass hats who could give a god damn shit about the welfare of the country...
Please, please someone do this.
We need a well informed electorate to make intelligent decisions when we walk into the voting booth.
There is a place for that partisan crap, but it should not slant the news to fit a political agenda...
God Damn it, is that too much to ask?

(52,827 posts)I sometimes have CSpan as background noise.
Also, try Al-Jazeera, they are surprisingly neutral in regards to who they slam in their reports.
I usually listen to NPR but it seems to have lost some of its luster to me.

But I so agree.
You know those partisan "newscasters" are obeying their corporate masters. They don't want us to be well informed, and that is a shame.
