I wish people who comment would stop politicising others through what they think others watch in newscasts. All American news broadcasts are biased....they do not "report the news" they give their opinions of what they think will retain more viewers....they are in the business of selling advertising based upon viewership. The simple proof of that statement is watch your favorite american newscast and then watch BBC or an Englishing speaking newscast from France, Italy, Germany, or Japan. The 'others' report the news that is happening without opinion trying to influence the viewer. They don't begin a report with "you saw it here first" or "in an exclusive report", or "we are bringing you this report first'.....etc.

Lots of truth here, but so many fans on one network or the other believe it only applies to another.
READING, to me is the best way to say abreast of things. But, with the networks, if you do both read and watch, you will soon find where truth lies and where conspiracy begins.
The point you make is what is driving much of the divide in our country, and if you cared, and followed your advice, you might find how others in the world now see us. It is not pretty.
