(60,536 posts)Hillary Clinton, the other from an official of the GOP. So what? CNN and MSNBC are news stations, they aren't Democratic Party news outlets and they are obligated to present both sides, no matter how much it infuriates us. Personally, I haven't watched CNN since February 8, 2007, the day Anna Nicole Smith died and CNN spent the whole damned day talking about it.
I learned, during the assorted scandals the GOP accused the Clintons of in the 90's, I would know more by reading newspaper articles, editorials, and op-ed columns, then I would from watching either of those stations or, listening to their talking heads. Even now, during the day, I read articles on DU and know more about a topic then what's being presented by the talking heads. The only time that isn't true is when one of the talking heads has "late breaking news." If we're going to rely on talking heads to give us their views under the guise of "news," we're only going to be frustrated and angered.
Give up on talking heads, read the news.
