Shouting The News

            News today is extremely biased. I don’t care what anyone says about in the middle news stations, no. In some way or another they are biased in either the way they speak, their demeanor, or what opinions they bring to the table. I watch Bill O’Reilly and listen to Sean Hannity on the radio all the time. Both are without doubt right-winged conservatives and make no attempt to hide that fact.

            Bill O’Reilly is usually very good at sticking to strictly political arguments and has a way of getting his point across is a very straight forward sort of manner. His guests are typically democrats who he likes to sit back and shut down their opinions on just about every issue he brings about. While he brings about controversial issues, he allows both sides to make their argument, even if he is very strong willed in proving the left-winged side wrong. He can without a doubt be rude in many different ways. He is extremely stubborn and has no intentions of approaching any sort of issue in a open-minded fashion. This form of news delivery is very entertaining, especially for a conservative such as myself. While he is very opinionated, his logic and reasoning is based on and backed up with truthful facts that he brings to the table.

            Sean Hannity is yet another right-winged conservative who is quite stubborn. Hannity does have a television show, yet I listen to him more on talk radio. He is an advocate for educating young students interested in political issues. He recently had a group of college kids on the show discussing foreign affairs. Hannity is another stubborn broadcaster, yet is more willing to hear opposing viewpoints. He even advocates that opposing opinions call into the show to try and contradict what he says. However argument style discussion does tend to ensue soon after. Hannity is very fact based, he even comes into the show with studies that have been conducted and asks opinions on them, and follows up with how he feels on the situation.

            Both of these broadcasters are two of my favorites. I have yet to find an issue I don’t agree with either of them on, which most likely plays quite a big role in this decision. I do learn a lot from these two, as they discuss current events and issues. While they may be biased by being totally right-winged, they make no effort to try and conceal their opinions as equal minded at all.
