Default Facts or Opinions?

A report released Monday by the Pew Research Center on media coverage
over the past 5 years indicates that MSNBC (with the lowest overall
budget) relies 85 percent on "opinions" by their commentators and 15
percent on actual reporting of news events.

According to the study Fox News spends 55 percent of their air time on
commentary opinions and 45 percent on reporting of actual news.

CNN was rated as being the only cable network that spent more time
reporting the news than opinion commentary.

What a surprise.

Well, it's fine and dandy but the Huffington Hoax is hardly the source I
would go to for objective views about news coverage...

Harry's a little slow. It shouldn't be needed to point out that
Huffington was just the vehicle.

as credible messenger as National Enquirer....

Well, you are free to choose whatever messenger you prefer .....
there's at least 8 other ones, including Fox News, that reported the
results of the same Pew Study.

So... let me get this straight. It doesn't matter that a VERY well
respected, one of the best research centers in the world was the ones
who came up with the data, because the Huff post reported on it means
that it isn't credible???? Are you really that stupid? So, please show
what data you have that contradicts Pew's data.....
