35. Cable news isn't monolithic
Exception is probably FOX--I never watch it so can't comment. But on CNN and MSNBC, it depends on the reporter/pundit. MSNBC is for the most part sickeningly to the right, except for Keith Olbermann. CNN is usually to the right as well (Blitzer, King, Zahn, etc.) but Aaron Brown is much better. You can pick and choose.

If you want the straightest reporting, go to PBS or the big three networks. They might leave things out that we get on the net, but at least you don't have the spin that you get on some cable "news". Cspan is also pretty good, except that they seem to have more rightwing guests than left.
