Don't expect much from the pancake makeup-wearing televised Talking Heads --- their job is to look good and provide mindless sound bites to fill the 'Infotainment' agenda of the corporate media.

IMO, the main problem isn't "media bias" (everyone has biases, but most of these guys are too know-nothing to even have interesting or consistent biases)... the main problem is that they are, by and large, incompetent to even offer any perceptive insight into the forces and issues that underlie the daily babble of what passes for 'headline news'.

General incompetence, and excessive concentration of media ownership seem to be the larger problems with our news.

Damned if I know, but you would THINK they would go after some human interest stories in Iraq to fill the gaps instead of this endless repetition. jdn
