The News of Today..True or Real?

Ok, so I try REALLY hard to not get into politics with other people because it just gives me a headache. It's just a bunch of people who like to aruge, arguing. I know what your thinking the news and politics are two different things..... are they really? Aside from local news, networks are full of polititions wanting to have a say in whats going on. Larry King and Bill O'Reilly are two well known news commentators, both are very different. Some will say that Bill O'Reilly is rather "rude" and or "disrespectful", but i say he's just opinionated. Quick preview ---->  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25uyFwWPOZg.
He's allowed to have an opinion right? He just makes it well known what he believes. If you dont like it.....don't watch dont listen. Plain and simple. Larry King might not be as loud and aggressive as O'Reilly (old age might be playing a factor there) but he can still be every bit as pushy when he wants.

The thing is, is that they have the right to thier opinions..as well as everyone else. It doesnt matter what political party you belong to because no matter what you watch or listen to, you cant trust that the information you are getting is straight forward and unbiased because EVERYONE is biased and will report the news accordingly. Journalists, polititions, news commentators they all have a way of asking questions in a very specific way to influence to way someone will answer....the way they want them to answer. For me its a red flag that this is the way the world is now, opinionated and  hard headed and thats how it wants its news. I think people just need to be aware of how things are now-a-days and know that you cant trust everyone and everything they tell you because it's mostly opinion with SOME facts thrown in there too.

  1. I agree that the news is bias most of the time and i also agree that people need to know the facts in order to make thier own decisions.
