    I was pretty bummed to learn that Charlie Gibson will be retiring soon.

    People think that the cable "news" networks are news. I disagree entirely. If you watch the ABC nightly news and then put on Shepherd Smith you can totally see the difference, ABC reports news stories with little to no spin or bias, while Fox (and CNN, MSNBC and all of their child channels) has to end every segment with some asshole's opinion on the story.

    You constantly hear people berating and bitching and moaning about the Mainstream Media, I think the problem is the pundits.

    Another thought; not every single story/issue has two equal "sides". The world just doesn't work that way.

    • Yeah, but MSNBC DOES have a bias, and it's a bias chosen by marketing to catch that market share that Fox doesn't have.TheBlueOne
