Ok so this is something ive been wondering about for a while now.

I sit in an office all day with nothing but the TV behind me to keep me company, and the only thing my boss wants on is FOX news. Lets just say that there are so many times where I just want to throw my computer through the tv because of how stupid the people in the news media actually are, and how much they manipulate everyone's words. So this is the question I have for all of you, especially if you live in another country...

Do your news networks **** you off as much as mine? Or are we alone over here in our public television being this retarted?...

This has flamewar written all over it

But this article might be pertinent to your complaint

It´s retarded all over the world. Stopped watching TV years ago...

I tend to not pay attention too much to the news unless it's local ... most everything else is really depressing.

It's the same all over the world I guess.

I live in France and most of the TV channels and paper press (more than 85%) are supporters of the socialist party. It's sad that freedom of press has led to a new era of propaganda...But the world is crazy today I guess

Hmm what is this TV you speak of?

I don't own a TV anymore. It has all become absolute rubbish, even the "science" channels are unbearable these days, with super dumb topics from logging and fishing to childish documentary's with shallow uninspiring explanations. As for my news, Science daily is OK or BBC/ PBS. Almost anything American is biased and a waste of time. The point of American news it to sell and sway, not inform and educate, I live in Texas and it is terrifying how many people eat that **** up, just drop a few key words and they turn their brains off.

Okay well now I feel a little less alone in the world! I just wish my boss didnt have to watch it... It gets real irritating after a while...
