Figmo,
I agree but it is getting harder and harder to get in-depth reporting in a sound bite/Twitter world. Frontline has some great stuff and 60 minutes is OK - but they will seriously slant the reporting to favor their point of view.
I tend to watch mostly FOX and CNN and with a little bit of MSNBC for perspective and humor, and think overall FOX does the best job. Yes, they tend to be farther right than the others, but considering the left leaning bias of almost every other media outlet I think (and so does the American public at large) that there is a market for this type of approach.
Also, why does FOX cause so much angst because of their right leaning bias? Prior to FOX you had a choice of moderate left, far left, and really far left - what is wrong with some other options?
Finally, if anyone thinks they can get all the news is a straightforward unbiased way from any single media outlet - they are wrong. Much better to watch different outlets with different points of view and decide for yourself who and what is more correct, and who and what is total BS.
