I agree and it seems to be just about every single station I've seen. Even those in foreign (foreign to me anyway) languages.



>>That certainly explains your perspective then. I watch it as well but there have been some stories presented as reporting the news which were extremely slanted towards one side and in some cases left out the other side completely. I only know this because I know people personally who were onsite or involved in the story and heard their views personally. Now I am well aware that many other (well most) news organizations do the same thing. They go for the human interest or the slant which will gain them the most shock value and up the ratings.

>The so-called "human interest" is also highly slanted, politically. Just try to run some statistics on who are the people in such stories. My take is that in 90+% of the cases they are the ones which the publisher wants to look good, or to paint their ethnic/national/political side as the victim in a conflict. And you can easily see who the station roots for - they will show about zero human-interest stories about the other side.
