People like Rachal Maddow and Sean Hannity give "news media" a bad name. Change the name of their organizations to News Entertainment then, they can at least claim plausible deniability for their constant biased spin.

Sorry but you don’t have any idea what you are talking about. Hannity shouts out the fact he is not unbiased. Maddow not so much. Hannity has had guest that are investigative reporters. They haven’t been wrong to my knowledge even though they are smeared in the media until proven to be spot on later. Maddow is hardly ever right even while pretending to be a news anchor.
I find Hannity hard to watch at times but I don’t feel I’m being lied to. Everything I see on MSNBC is nothing but hate for my side of the isle and demonstrably inaccurate most of the time with even a little over all knowledge of the facts.
Hannity and Maddow are no where near the same.

Perception is reality for way too many people. I agree that Hannity tells you straight up he is right biased. The problem (and my point) is that even when they are telling you they are biased, too many people still think because of the platform from which they are spouting, they are presenting as Unbiased News because they are on a "News Channel".

Hannity is on Fox News Channel.... People tune in to Fox News to see him.....


People are lazy and/or dumb. When you get a little older you can see it and separate the hyperbole from fact much better, but the younger set (under 40) eat this sh*t up hook line and sinker as "real news".
