I don't watch network news for precisely those reasons.

But what I think is the more insidious factor in the race for ratings and "winning" is the complete inability to broadcast unsubstanciated rumors. No time to check the facts - they might get in the way of a good story.

I have little use for newspapers, too. They've joined their fellow media swinging their purses on the street corner.

There's still bias in the news reports on the internet, but you can read the AP, Reuters, NYT and WSJ accounts.
