People here to calm down. ALL mainstream news is for ratings as they are no longer beholden to the "FAIRNESS DOCTRINE" we used to have... back when a station, in order to keep it's FCC license, had to broadcast news that usually LOST money.

If we still had the "Fourth Estate", we would not be in Iraq. The media, despite ANY bias, is ALWAYS TO QUESTION AUTHORITY... no matter which party is in power.

That is long gone.

And yes, one part does make out better when corporate media interests are never questioned.
