The News: Is It Whack?

Now I take some respectable effort in being informed. So, I read the news, sometimes watch it. Now written news, for the most part I think is pretty good. My main sources being the BBC and The Economist.
Television however, as a certain online journal, is a cesspool. I don't really hate Livejournal that much, it does still hold a grand potential for evil. Seriously watch the news, and then ask yourself, how much of this is just plain news, and how much is pundits just guessing about the outcome of something when they hardly have a clue? Mostly pundits just flapping on. The reason is, people don't really want the news, they want to hear people that agree with them, that's why the conservative propaganda machine known as Fox News exists. Yes, I'm going as far as to call it propaganda, they've been caught saying fake news, that's supposed to be a joke, not passed off as legitimate.
I'd say, and I think most would agree, people should read straight news, and then think whatever they want. John Stewart has said it, and so have many others, but make up your own mind, pundits are for bitches. Pundits just talk BS, or spit out party slogans.
CNN headline news isn't bad, BBC international news isn't bad, The Economist is nice(my favourite), BBC online is good as well.
Is this just me talking about how I hate pundits and Fox news, and pretty much American news in general? Yes, but that's what blogs are for.
