Cable news

Dish and Turner are in a “Did, too” “Did not” pi$$ing contest over money (what else?). MSNBC is in the CNN slot, with Al Jazeera taking HLN’s channel. Glenn Beck’s BLAZE has a spot somewhere in the neighborhood, but he and his minions are certifiably nutso crazy and do not win a stop when the remote is activated. The lineup shuffle has brought about a good opportunity for comparison, thusly:

MSNBC and RT are equally propagandist, as well as meeting no standards for professional journalism. CCTV continues to use on-camera reporters who speak English words and phrases, but the reportage often indicates the reporters do not know what the words mean. RT is less obviously government dominated than is CCTV, but you know RT would not be so anti-West if not for some Putinists or former Commies involved somewhere. FOX has its blonds and blondes and retains a fondness for making stories out of nothing.

And TV and newspapers wonder why so many people get news and opinions from the internet. (Of course, it helps greatly if one has at least a bit of critical thinking, as well as the ability to spot BS.)
