This isn't about right or left...Ive been critical of the bias coverage of Fox News which I think their slant is dishonest. Just as I would of MSNBC.

But one thing I have accepted is Fox and MSNBC will continue to serve their bubble. Fine. What I don't think is fine is how biased presentation/information has now seeped into mainstream media organizations where center should be what we expect. Lay out the facts and let the viewer decide. Opinion Editorials are fine as back page filler, labeled properly, etc. but what we see is editorials presented a factual news...which it is not. It starts there and goes all the way up to Fake News. This isn't only the nightly news, this is news shows and morning news shows. If your gonna talk issues, present facts...if your gonna talk about the issues, then coverage should be fair.

If you look at Fox news and can identify issues you have problems with...whether is language choice, editorial opinions past as factual news, not presenting all relative facts, limited context, not presenting all sides arguments, misleading stats, negative slant, etc....which Im sure you could easily do. By taking the same scope...do it for MSNBC coverage...it might be tougher for you, but I sure you could.

We live in an age of information overload...I think its important to be able to discern what we see and hear. Now when it comes to politicians...bullshit reigns right?
