I'll occasionally watch a segment on YouTube from MSNBC or CNN. I'm surprised at how biased they seem to be now. I agree more with their bias than that of Fox News, but I would rather find an unbiased news source. -

I prefer the term fairness and transparency to bias. Our news has always had bias of some kind of another.
Fox News has been more unfair and murky than most. You have several of their hosts in close contact with Trump to the point where they influence policy and they are not the ones to disclose it. Hannity was one of Michael Cohen’s clients.
The origins of Fox News are very interesting. Roger Ailes was a Nixon operative during Watergate. He saw the need to counter the mainstream media with GOP propaganda. That drove him to push for Fox News’ model.
CNN still does some good hard news. They have great international bureaus. It’s our desire for infotainment that is also part of the problem. Fox News drew the best ratings and the other networks eventually started moving to follow suit. Neither are as bad, but MSNBC’s identity is solely that of s liberal counterpart to Fox.
Some good reporting actually happens at Fox but it is such a tiny slot in the day. Shep Smith and Chris Wallace are quality journalists.Comment

And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. UchtdorfComment

I agree. BBC is also a go to, along with Reuters, AP, NPR and some foreign language outlets (yes I know BBC is foreign as is Reuters).Originally posted by BigFatMeanie View Post"Guitar groups are on their way out, Mr Epstein."

On Aug. 13th, Steven Murdock, 55, a leader at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Salt Lake City, Utah, was visiting Tennessee with his wife, when the couple stopped at the Opry Mills Mall in Nashville. While his wife shopped, Murdock stationed himself at the dressing room, presenting himself as an employee.
According to Fox 17, Murdock guided shopper Alondra Alcala into a changing room, then, while she removed her top, he positioned his iPhone camera over the stall door. “I thought it was a joke,” Alcala told Fox 17. “I thought it was a prank, I thought somebody was just messing with me."
Realizing she was on film, “I freaked out, I froze,” Alcala said, adding that she switched rooms, only to find the same man inside. “Unfortunately, I felt disgusted with myself. I felt like what did I do wrong, what if I wouldn’t have done this, or wouldn’t have worn this,” Alcala told Fox 17. “I did feel violated, I felt gross, why is this happening to me?”

There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese. --Coach FinstockComment

Seriously. Especially with the wife begging the girl not to call the cops. I know my wife wouldn’t go to bat for me in a situation like that. And I’m very okay with that.Originally posted by Topper View Post

I hope The Church cracks down on the reporter for using Mormon in that first line.Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!
For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."
