Reply #23: What they are is CORPORATE SERVANTS. [View All]

I don't know about any of the anchors' personal politics, nor do I care.

What I care about is bending the truth -- or fabricating whole stories -- in order to benefit someone behind the scenes: corporate owners? The administration? Both??

CBS, NBC, PBS was never great, awesome television, but they were adequate twenty years ago, when I used to watch. The news was packed into half an hour or an hour, but at least it bore some semblence to reality. Believe it or not, there were NO celebrity stories! Really. It took a whole new show to start that (I don't remember the name of it, but it was all Hollywood news told by model-looking "news anchors" -- it was totally laughable. Now ALL news is that show.)

And I care that the news seems to want to report ON ITSELF more than anything else! This Katie Couric story -- that's not a story!!! But it's been all over the papers, all over the mainstream Internet news stories -- I mean, I *keep* hearing about how Katie Couric is taking over CBS and I don't even HAVE A TV!!!!! What madness!!!!!!!!
