It used to be news

And my reaction? Tell me something I don't know.

That goes for Fox News and CNN as well.

While I agree with most of what I hear on MSNBC and almost nothing on Fox News, I still find both impossible to listen to for long periods of time.

This is in contrast to the BBO WC, where we always deal only in factual matters.

What I can't understand is how right the GOP can be when I am making out my property tax check, and how wrong they can be when I receive my Social Security check. :rolleyes:

Yes, no surprise, this became more common with the explosive proliferation of "news" sources in the cable TV era. There just isn't enough real news to go around, to the point that they often report on each other now.

A sentiment I find widespread agreement with, regardless of the relative balance of agreement per source.

I like watching MSNBC along with Krugman it is one of the few sources that does not worry about our debt.
Meanwhile Fox seems to think this is a big problem.

You can see how the debt issue really does or does not impact their overall commentary.

No Group Think between those two stations.
