Which is the more biased news service in your opinion. By miased i mean following their own agenda and not reporting news unbiased. I think it to be CNN. ---

You mean the conservative news network? Yes, true. They are pretty far to the right. ---

NewsMax wins hands down. Followed closely by Yellow times. Nomad: I am with you there. Fox seems to be the news choice of anyone who thinks the 2nd amendment is more important than the 1st. ---

You know, **Nomatic One** , it’s a little tough to turn “what is your opinion” into a debate, other than of some sort of “is too-- is not” confrontation. Would you care to expand on, justify, defend and generally give is a factual basis for your opinion that NPR News is biased and follows a special agenda? ---

Interesting case has come up for discussion. Tax “credits” for people who don’t pay taxes. The only news agency I’m aware of that pointed this out was FOX. ---

Fox was pretty bad through all of D.S. II. At one point I had a hard time finding something on the screen _not_ draped in the ol’ r,w,& b. A comparison to the CBC is astonishing, the amount of real new information (not just recycled information they dress up as “breaking news”) compared to Fox is astonishing as well as is the fact that it covers both sides of a debate. ---
