JadenxAtemYAOI Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 We all know they're influenced by the gov't but rarely do they spread the same exact bullsh!t. They've been saying Anonymous is the group that took down PSN. Anonymous confirmed they didn't. Now the rest of the stuff is true sadly according to their news site when they should be fighting Westboro church more but oh well. Discuss news channels and what they say.

Raine Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Who watches news!? Fox News is entertainment since there only runner up in entertainment value is Everyone Loves Raymond. ABC, MSNBC, etc. are indecisive political parties without power, all the do is debate meaningless s*** they "think" will get them views and when it is something meaningful they make no progress but instead do politically correct arguemtns that go, well these guys are good but these guys have a good idea too. Government has very very little interaction in news channels, (except CSPAN) everyone does what they want to get ratings thus more money, its not a conspiracy. What we need is a decisive brash news show that are short and to the point... oh wait theres tons of those on youtube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the channels debate about politics and things that could move the country forward or backward. Sure, some of the stuff they debate about is retarded. In fact MSNBC and Fox news just attack the s*** out of each other. MSNBC is more Liberal, and Fox News states that they are fair and balanced, but they feature Glenn Beck, and other right wing idiots that blatantly insult democrats. MSNBC did the same with Keith Olberman and they still do it with the shows that they run during the evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King of Nothing Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 I love MSNBC. It's a corporation that hates corporations. Anyways, I usually read the newspaper and go online to get my news. Television shows aren't paid out by the government, rather, they're usually paid in full by political committees. I don't want PACs telling me what I should and shouldn't know.

~/Coolio Prime\~ Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 So long as it falls in line with their views. Saying they want to protect free speech is bullshit when they spend their time hacking random peoples' accounts because they don't like what they say. They protect what expression of freedom they value - not universal ones. Also ironic given what a hivemind organization the thing is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
