I try to get balance, because the media is soooo partial and mingles opinion with hard news. So here goes:

CNN
Fox News
ABC
Wall Street Journal
Philly Inquirer
KYW
NPR sometimes (they tend to put me to sleep)
Used to be the Gloucester County Times, but now online only if I'm curious about South Jersey events.

On that note, yesterday morning (Monday 2/4) I was watching Action News. They were doing hard news reporting on the election, and put up photos of McCain, Clinton, and Obama.

McCain and Obama both looked very handsome and serious. Hillary's picture had her looking down with the ugliest smile/smirk on her face, her eyes wide open like some kind of looney-tune.

I am NO Hillary fan, in fact I'd rather chew off my arm than vote for her. But I thought that display of partiality by so-called news was inexcusable.

Action News did that once before that I saw. They were running a clip of President Bush speaking at some venue as they merged to a commercial. Each time, the clip was edited so that he said something like "I want to raise taxes."

It was despicable!!!! Makes you wonder if you can trust anything any of them say!

I check out cnn.com multiple times a day and once a week I will see whats up over at bbc.com. Same thing with philly.com - I check it out 3-4 times a week to see what is going on. I hardly watch any news on tv.

Fox news and CNN for the big stuff, local news at 6 for daily stuff.

Internet research for all others.
