All of the broadcast network and cable news channels are vague at differentiating news from opinion. Even on the so-called news shows, like Wolf Blitzer on CNN, the way the questions are phrased, and the introduction to the stories reflects the bias of the commentator. This is also true on the net of most bloggers and sites like HuffPo, and the newspaper articles, especially from AP lately, are seldom hard news, but the some news content wrapped in the opinion of the writer. There is very little hard news of an unbiased nature today. The best you can do is read the story from different sources and draw your own conclusion. But all someone watches is Fox or CNN, and they never consider the other side, their world view is going be extremely skewed.
I haven't watched a talking head show since the 80s, or a network news show since the advent of the Internet. I used to watch CNN occasionally because I know someone who works there, but recently I can't even stomach that.
