Okay, I guess it may be more than sometimes. And quite possibly, there's little hope to be had. But the more I watch certain events in the mass media, the more cynical I get about the state of the press. This may even be a specific bias toward American media outlets (and maybe even one in particular), but it's truly frustrating to see how blatantly ridiculous the "serious" and "hard-hitting" political TV shows can be.
Now, I'm sure that I've posted this link before, but it's appalling how arrogant certain media personalities can be, and every time I think about this interview on Canada, featuring Tucker Carlson and Ann Coulter on CNN, I nearly blow my top. Take a look for yourself...

This second set of clips are a little more recent, and NEED TO BE VIEWED! John Stewart was invited on to Crossfire (CNN) to talk politics, and what ended up happening was the most ridiculous attempt at spin justification that I'm aware of (of events within the border anyway... we're ignoring the censorship and spin justification that takes place when speaking of international politics). Again, Tucker Carlson makes me want to flip out. Please watch the clips... It's important.

This is his response on The Daily Show the following Monday.

I know these appearences took place nearly 2 years ago, but I don't know many people who have actually seen these clips. So enjoy, respond, start watching John Stewart, anything.
