So as I believe that in US it is a bit different (I don't know how far, maybe not much, but more than us I expect!), I'm certainly sure that you would have more elements than us. In fact if I don't trust medias it only for this reason: they claim to know all, their truth is the only one to be and if you don't want to follow it you're a kind a rogue. I don't want to be a rogue anyway but I can't stand being judged by a staff of coke sniffer late scratching papersmen!
Last thing, I didn't want to dissmiss your points of view, since the few time I know this forum, I consider you as a very good point of reference and knowledge here, and am very glad to read your interventions in each thread where I have some interest in. So glad to have an exchange with you  |
I didn't mean you, specifically, Kitsune.
I think we have a variety of news sources in the US, and none would try and claim they are completely unbiased. It is impossible to do so. What they give is a perspective. The viewer has to be responsible enough to process it appropriately. People here often talk about the liberal media, and indeed, much of the media does lean left, but there are also right-leaning news sources, like the National Review or even Fox News. I am afraid people get the idea that they shouldn't get information from the news. I would ask, then where do you get it? I think you end up with idea's like AmericanOtakuLee's that has been fed some lines, but doesn't seem to have any basis for his beliefs.
