I know I’ve written about this before, but as someone who consumes news day and night, on the Internet, in newspapers, on cable…..I cannot respect NBC as a reliable and unbiased source of news reporting.

It is not, as many believe, that they favor the right or left, or secretly lean towards the G.O.P or Democrats. Their bias is most apparent: they want to promote NBC Entertainment.

In the Presidential election, they have inserted NBC into the campaign and corrupted our national debate, with insipid clips from “Saturday Night Live”, a show that ceased being humorous in 1990.

On the “Today” show this morning, they introduced a story about Gov. Richardson’s endorsement of Senator Obama, by showing a clip from NBC/Bravo’s “Project Runway” (you’re either in or out).

Their “worldwide” news coverage extends from the Midwestern floods to the price of gas at our local filling station. They produce an entirely self-serving, corporate brand of crap that neglects the rest of the world, while acting as a running advertisement for other NBC shows.

I have read of the struggles of CBS and the floundering Katie Couric. Wouldn’t it be a revolutionary shake-up if CBS began each morning with “The CBS News International Report” that brought us news stories from all over the world? Is it possible that in-depth intelligent news might actually draw in viewers, and attract advertisers who want to reach a higher income demographic?

No doubt NBC would then try to compete with the newly branded international CBS NEWS by showing Donald Trump interviewing prospective apprentices in Paris………
