How else can you broadcast 24/7? I do think that all of the networks are good at presenting the facts on their straight news shows and then they provide commentary and a bit of spin based on their overriding politics (left or right). I see no harm in this as it helps people relate to the news better and associate it with their own lives and beliefs. I watch a lot of Fox News but I also watch some CNN and get a lot of info from the web. Fox speaks to me and many of my beliefs. It's for that reason that their programming is the way that it is. It is relate-able to many, many Americans. Of course the networks are in it for profit. How else can you broadcast 24/7?
