Opinions

Fox News is "fair and balanced". I don't know about "fair and balanced" but give Fox credit- they let you know where they stand and don't pretend to be impartial.

The media is politically biased and generally leans to the Left. I think the Left bias is so ubiquitous it becomes almost unrecognizable unless you're tuned to it.

The government should not provide financial assistance to the print journalism industry. Hell no. The sooner print journalism dies, the better.

MSNBC is politically biased. Olbermann, Matthews, Maddow... it's Fox's doppelganger.

NBC's coverage of the 2008 Olympic Games was satisfactory. My opinion doesn't mean much, since the only events I watched were track and basketball, and I thought NBC did fine covering those. Plus NBC brought back the old John Tesh "Roundball Rock" theme for basketball. You gotta like that.

UNKNOWN: Are newspaper organizations necessary to maintain journalistic standards?
