American news watchers prefer fair and balanced

It is amusing that we care so much about the source for news a person chooses, yet we could care less about 99% of the other choices that same person/stranger makes. There has been a douche-ification of the tv news industry across the board, and IMO most of us would sincerely appreciate more facts and less slant.

Yep, strictly facts; and, I don't care who is first to figure this out, they will win my viewership.

I agree. If you watch news because the channel you watch verifies your beliefs or if you get worked up or excited over it, it probably contains slant or opinions. Facts are borings, esp,. when delivered without a slant. News is supposed to be news, not entertainment. Entertainment stimulates you, news informs you and then you get to form your own opinion.
