Just a rant, no real point being made ....

One of my favorite undergrad classes was a Journalism class I took at UB.

I learned much of what I know about media, how it's run and most importantly, how to read the news. The last point is my topic of discussion. It's become a part-time job, reading the amounts you have to to try and get to the truth in news -- and even then you're not 100% sure what you've concluded is the truth.

Besides for the second half of "Special Report", you don't get a balanced perspective from Fox. They obviously and openly lean right.

Besides the Morning Joe round table, MSNBC, is basically Fox for the left.

As for the other alphabets, they're too worried about ratings and under reporting to make them credible, with the possible exception of ABC, who was not shy about any reporting the past few years.

And don't get me started on the ivory towers of academia. Honesty left the hall years ago. Instead, it's become a scene from the South Park episode where folks who were so impressed with one another they were admiring the smell of their own farts.

If you can come up with a new news model and get it started, you'd be a billionaire in no time.
