Its one of their news videos on US vs Iran. While I may agree with what he is saying, it's not the journalist job to take a side or have an agenda. He isn't reporting on a story IMO but rather sharing his opinion on the subject.
So in theory he's doing exactlly what Fox news or CNN does.. |
Yes, that particular clip was what you call an editorial piece and he made it very clear that he was only giving you his opinion. But you are saying you would rather have your news come from a source that must appease to advertiser and government interests based on the fact that The Real News may do editorial/opinion segments now and then. Jesus dude...that is what all four of the "24-hour news channels" I get here do for their entire primetime lineup.
I prefer to watch the news when I sit down and eat dinner in the late evening but that has become impossible now because every one of the "news" channels is showing entertainment programming (ie. Larry King, Glenn Beck, Bill O'reilly, etc.) Just being able to watch the news on my own schedule would make it worth the 10 bucks a month.
