Fox & MSNBC

I think broadcasting companies in America all share one thing in common to make money and get the most viewers possible. According to www.guardian.co.uk, they say that "most experts believe the fierce antagonism between MSNBC and Fox is less about politics and more about economics"link 1. I believe this website for two reasons, one it is a outside neutral source that is comparing the two broadcasting companies and two they do not have a American agenda, they are reporting news to the United Kingdom. Fox News and MSNBC are the two most watched broadcasting companies in USA today. I think it is very important that the Americans take the time out of their day to search out facts, not broadcasters opinions. Both News company do offer the same standard news, but they display the news at different angles. Thus trying to persuade viewers to a particular side.  Reflecting on our classes discussion and topic question "What would these guys do if money wasn't a factor". Now what I sincerely believe is the news would be more like the BBC, Not so much opinion but more just the facts. There would be no arguing such as Fox's Glenn Beck vs MSNBC's trio (Rachel Madow, Chris Matthew and Keith Oberman) news would just be news. Wouldn't that be nice? I think it would. Over the last ten years the way we receive news has changed a lot.  We now do not have to watch an entire news program that takes an hour, instead we can just log on to the Internet and literally search whatever news interests the viewer. This alone has carved out a new way for Americans to get there news anytime of the day. I wish the news companies would focus on more positive then the negative, to me one of the real problems is pessimistic people. We need more positive optimists in this world.
