News at ..

Recent arguments have gotten me thinking about how people get their news and important information. I got really unnerved when some one sited the NY post as a credible news source and fact "Cause the post said so, and its a news paper. They cant print untrue things, they would get sued"
Ive recently started logging the nightly news, time story, type of story and duration of the story. I wanted to see the disparaging amount of time spent ebtween certain bits of news. Its been quite a task, i cant tell you how often i want to change the channel but the tast must go on.
I really want o see what people see as news and how this nightly telecast portays what is going on in the world. and by seeing how much time, what importance is put on to what story.  BTW Glee> NZ Earthquake.

Im sourcing numberous channels jsut not the obvious infuriating ones.  Hopefully i can get a logg on CNN and sucha s well.
