News is a product. It costs money just like any other product or service. You get it through websites, t.v., print etc. Wherever you get you ended up forking over cash. Nobody forks over cash to get shit they don't want. People only listen to the news they want to hear thus reinforcing their opinions thus reinforcing News' need to be specifically catered towards that particular customer.

That's how it is. News is just as much a paid product as videogames or movies or other t.v. series. You give people what they want because it is a business. Or you fail. That's why the Wii came after the gamecube, isn't it?

Me, personally, when I watch t.v. I always flip through the 3 major networks. MSNBC (generally left), FOX (generally right), and CNN (pretty mild/moderate, and has the lowest ratings and is in danger of failing surprise surprise).

And I second that Moderates/independents tend to get shouted down to when political conversations ensue. You have no one to back you and everyone hates you lol.
