Or at least get both sides of the story, I guess. Watch MSNBC as well as Fox News for the left and right side.

Seems like a colossal waste of money. The 'why' hasn't been explained to me.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

That's terrible advice. There shouldn't be any "sides" to the news. The news should report what is happening; not some political take on what is happening. MSNBC and Fox News both lie about what is really going on. Avoid both in my opinion.

Yes it should be objective, and people should never abuse their power, and we should all be nice to everyone because we're a social species that relies on each other. That's just not how it works a lot of the time.

There shouldn't be, no, but there are. Nobody with two brain cells to rub together thinks that Fox News really is "fair and balanced."
