That's the way it should be. Unbiased reporting means they're not supposed to tell it they way THEY see it. They are supposed to tell the straight facts and let people decide for themselves. Unfortunately that's not how it works with any news I've ever watched. Some news outlets come from the left and some from the right. They all play up sensational news stories for ratings. Such as the Laci Peterson, OJ simpson, and Michael Jackson Cases. In my opinion Laci Peterson and other similar individual crimes shouldn't be national news at all. When celebrities get in trouble I can understand mentioning it but spending all day covering the problems of stupid celebrities is way too much. I remember when the earthquake hit Iran CNN, MSNBC, and FOX all were covering the Michael Jackson case all day and would every now and then have news updates where they would mention Iran's quake and other more worthy news for a few minutes before getting back to their all day coverage of Michael Jackson. That shit fucking pissed me off.
