I think a lot of people are confusing the news with the analysis of the news.
The news is simply that, its what happened today.
The president said this
The air force dropped bombs here
There was a car wreck on this intersection
etc
etc
etc
As far as analysis goes, like all of the talking head shows, that's just a matter of whose opinion you tend to agree with.
Buchanan? Press? Hannity? Colmes?
You can also find an unlimited number of webistes with all of their conspiracy theories that will try to twist whatever happened to somehow neatly fit into their worldview.
I will say this, I have noticed a trend to the right as far as talk shows and analysis goes. The conservatives on these "talking head" shows are much more obnoxious with their points of view and tend to belittle those who disagree with them on the air rather than have a healthy debate and see all sides of the issue.
Sean Hannity really pisses me off sometimes with his name calling, and Colmes is such a wimp he never really fires back at him.
The only liberal I've seen on one of these analysis shows that holds his own is Bill Press. Its pretty depressing for those of us that lean to the left. (I would have said Carville can hold his own, but he's even more obnoxious than Hannity, neither of them seem to have an interest in the truth, just in bashing people who disagree with them)
