For me, to get the my news, I check a lot of sources. I don't have a particular favorite source, but use all of them to see what is accurate or credible. I watch Fox2 News, which takes more of a neutral bias, because it gives conservative stories equal time as the liberals, which most news stations seem primarily liberal. I also watch NBC, ABC, and CBN, which I think is pretty cool, because its news from a Christian standpoint, which gives news that the mainstream media chooses not to let the world know, such as civilians in Iraq thanking our troops for being there. Mainstream news continuously wants to give us a mindset that things are not going well over there and that it is Bush's fault. I also check CNN and the internet as well. I use all of these sources for a well balanced news standpoint. I get a little of each side's view and make a decision on what is accurate and what is just bias.
By doing this, it is funny many times to hear the left side say that Fox2 news is conservative. I on the other hand think it gives equal time. In mainstream broadcasting which is primarily liberal, giving time to conservatives as well means that (to liberals) the station is taking a more conservative side. That is what I think they are doing. It has become mainstream or “normal” as you would, to hear left-side bias in the news that hearing conservative views is out of the ordinary.

That's good you receive your news from a wide range of stations. It gives you a perspective of the different news stations credibility.
Wow. It looks like you get a great variety of news sources to learn from. That's great. I think that a lot of times news take a more liberal stand on things to to appeal to more audiences (if there more radical, they only appeal to people supporting those beliefs, so they take a stance somewhere in the middle).
I also respect the fact that you watch many, and not just one channel. You're kind of informed across the board. Do you find that you can really tell a difference between the so-called "liberal" stations vs. the "conservative" stations?
