Koppel also told O'reilly years prior that MSNBC and FOX NEWS has divided the country

people in their 20's have no idea how the news was back in the day, they just reported it without any opinion or emotion

it was boring true, but it didn't have the country ready for civil war like it is now.

News back in the day was severely biaed and full of opinion, masquarading as being objective. It was its biasness that led to the rise of Fox and right wing talk radio.

maybe i was too young to notice, but you're saying that Bernard Shaw had a slant with his reporting? :jbhmm:

but this is pretty much how all the news looked to me back in the day - she's just reporting facts, not saying

"we wonder what would've happened if (insert president here) had done (insert some political shyt from last week here) "


"joining us to discuss this(cut to 5 talking heads all of them hate each other and are about to shout divisive political nonsense for 5 minutes)"

Bernard Shaw had a slant, Koppel had a slant,Murrow had a slant, every person held up as a standard had a slant.
Hell Murrow was so in bed with the government he might as well have been a government mouthpiece. http://paleofuture.gizmodo.com/new-book-reveals-edward-r-murrows-years-as-a-governmen-1776957623

Kronkite had a very left leaning bias and I say that even agreeing with some of his stances like being anti-war.

Anytime some claims there was ever a time where the news wasn't biased tell them they are full of shyt.
US media been lying and making excuses for US government for the majority of its existance, look at the lying the media did to get the US into the Spanish American war.

CNN doesn't even air "news" anymore. They just have people arguing on either side about headlines. You don't get any information and whoever's the best debater wins. Facts be damned; who cares if you get proven wrong 15 minutes later. They don't even have real experts on anymore. Half of them are on for being pretty.

:ehh: I hear you...like i said I was young, and the way they reported the news was completely different then

however, you are onto something....how did the media just out of "nowhere" lean so heavily to the left?

wikileaks exposed so much collusion between the media and government, and then the backlash was non-existent...almost as though this is just business as usual
