Your statement confuses me.  How can you not be able to watch broadcast
television (news) but can watch cable news channels?

 BA> CNN is HEAVILY slanted toward the left wing, both in what it covers
 BA> and  hot CNN covers it.  Fox is somewhat biased toward the right wing
 BA> but,  unlike CNN< does present opposing views.  I've watched both and
 BA> IMO Fox  is the more reliable of the two (I've not watched any other
 BA> than those  two); but I don't claim it is absolutely reliable, just
 BA> more reliable  than CNN.

And there we will probably continue to disagree.  CNN often has pundits
from opposite sides of the political spectrum on the show at the same
time.  It does slant left, but at least attempts to allow views from the
right to be expressed.

What little I have watched of Fox News (e.g. Hannity) is only a little
step above talk radio in its slant.
