CNN and Fox have different purposes altogether. They are coming from different places. I'm not saying either of them are unbiased, just their biases are different.
Fox is a Republican propaganda outlet. They WORK for the Republican Party, promoting Republican politicians, their ideas and agenda. Everything they have on Fox is for this purpose.
You will NEVER hear them approve of anything a Democrat says or does or wants. You will never hear them criticize or make fun of the GOP in any substantial way. If you totally -hate- Pres.
Obama, you will hear about something he did or said today and then you will tune into Fox News to hear why it was wrong. Even if Obama completely reverses himself 180 degrees, he's STILL wrong. CNN is a corporate news outlet.
Their agenda is not liberal, it's -corporate-. They live to serve their sponsors, so they are very reluctant to air any news that makes their sponsors look bad. They slant the news in such a way as to maximize their viewership, because the amount they charge for ads depends on how many people are viewing at that given time, so the more viewers the better for both their sponsors and them.
They will criticize either party if they believe that's what their viewers want to see. Fox, OTOH, doesn't really work just for its sponsors. In fact it lost money for the first several years because of background funding from the GOP.
No unbiased, unaffiliated, normally-sponsored network could have survived with so many years of losing money. Right wing media has been whining for years that the MSM (mainstream media) were liberally biased. But this is just a dodge.
What they really mean is that the MSM is more liberal than they are themselves, and that's not surprising. It's really a way for them to dismiss the news. If something bad about President Bush came out in the mainstream media, Fox and right-wing radio hosts would whine that it was only liberal politics, and their listeners would believe that, so it neutralized any bad news about Bush.
Sadly, if you want real news you have to go out and look for it. You have to read or look at a number of sources, consider their biases, and figure out for yourself what you believe. Conservatives are less likely to do that because Fox and right wing radio give them just what they want.
They give them the news all pre-digested, only one way to look at things. They know who their audience is and what they want.
Cnn is biased to the left only FOX is in the middle. Both msnbc and cnn have no conservatives afternoon or late night anchors FOX has both. Plus one key indicator is the ratings FOX has five times the ratings of msnbc and three times cnn.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
