None of the shows you listed are actual news sources. A real news source has objective reporting (which isn't all that easy to find, but it does exist.)

Have the media report facts rather than running headlines.  The media can spin a story from it's original true meaning in the headline alone.

The "truth" is very subjective and usually a lot more complicated than the media pundits and headline readers would lead you to believe.  Print media in general does a better job of being thorough.  Your best bet is to get your news from multiple sources and critically evaluate as best you can what you are being told and by whom.

The news (except Fox) is typically liberal.  And besides, what would sell better: "Water is healthy" or "Water can kill."

news like to take a story and run with it.  then they go out and hunt down similar stories to air them as well as long as the competition news channels so they seem like they broke a new story too.\n\nits all in competition and ignorance.\n\nnews should cover soup kitchens, homeless, kids that don't eat at least 3 meals a day, etc....that is what the public should be aware of.  Not some murder or what not where its like 1 out of 1.8 million yet we know there are at least 100,000 starving in the same city.\n\nNews isn't news....its a soap opera.

Normally entertainment shows like "Entertainment Tonight" or "Extra" will announce that. Also check out USA Today's Life section.

Congratulations, Josette, that is the most intelligent question I've seen anyone ask via Yahoo's ASK website.  I was the Academic Excellence Award Winner from my college journalism cadre and feel emminently qualified to answer.\nOK, N E W S, is an acronym of north, east, west and south and supposedly indicates that news comes from all over.  It also fits in with the idea of something 'new' and unfortunately that's the aspect of things most emphasized.\n\n  News is, in many ways, a joke.  It's just entertainment content like fan magazines, porn websites, comic books, romance novels, comedy movies, etc.\n\n  On the other hand, news sometimes has the power to ennoble us, inform us and inspire us.  It depends upon the news and it depends upon the recipient of the news -- see below Apollo 13.\n\n  Unfortunately, the easiest news to gather is usually the least ennobling and the most negative.  If you were to explore the nature of the simple glass of water that you drink and the story behind it, you would find one of the most incredible and most positive stories imaginable.  For an example of a similar nature:  I refer you to the awesome essay:  "I, Pencil" referenced below.   Unfortunately, in our democracy, we often degenerate to the level of the mass media which aims all entertainment at the level of a retarded 14 year old as witness our sitcoms and all the other trivial entertainment that passes for broadcast television.  Why?  Because, advertisers usually don't want to risk missing anyone, any potential or eventually potential consumer out there.  Because of that, higher class programming and higher class news are viewed as an exceptional risk.  How many people watch the PBS MacNeil Leher Hour where serious news is explored in serious depth every night, perhaps 2%?\n\n  Easy news to a reporter in the field (almost always BAD news, rather than feature stories which are much more difficult to research and write and feature stories are almost always positive and ennobling) is always welcome and immediately channelled upward to the editors and proofreaders.  They make decisions on what gets printed or aired by looking at A.  Impact locally?   B. Persons of Prominence involved?  C.  Sensational nature of the item?  D. Is it NEW?  E. Interesting?  F.  Exciting?  G.  Unusual?  and only then is H.  Is it of over-riding human interest? considered and since this is where the large majority of the complex and important and positive human news lies, this is the last and least important part of the so-called news.  It all comes down ultimately to some editor's choice of what will get him the most viewers.  An incredible amount of murders, rapes, strikes, wars, hate crimes and other negative news is needed every day to sell soap, automobiles, perfume, lingerie, and houses.\n\n  One other aspect too serious and too deep to consider in this brief answer is that 95% of all journalism students consider themselves when asked either Democrats or liberals.  So when you see people like Peter Jennings smirking or Mike Wallace ignoring tough questions he might ask Ted Kennedy or Lou Dobbs totally slanting every piece of news he touches, there is a valid reason in their minds for approaching news coverage that way; and a valid reason for you to doubt the overall truth of what you're getting.\n\nThe movie Apollo 13 highlighted the attitude of journalists \ntoward real news and sensational news.  Surely there are five million stories that could come out of the world of space exploration but in the movie they cancelled an educational broadcast from the pilot of Apollo 13 saying, "You've made space as exciting as a car wash" or something like that.  What they were really saying is they were too lazy to get in there and do the hard work to make teaching people about the wonders of space exploration and instead expected it to come to them pre-packaged like some public relations release or infomercial

Normally you can get alot of information from current news issues like global warming or something else controversial.\n\nI have done one on global warming and other ones for example are genetic engineering etc. \n\nMake sure you choose something you are not twosided about.\n\nGood luck.

I never get my news from the main stream media, I am a big fan of reporters without borders and their press freedom campaign, the news can be found on this multi lingual site http://www.rsf.org/\nThe best way to look at any news is as an opinion, only when you have gathered the opinions of as many people as possible can you form your own opinion.

In my case the result is that I go elsewhere to be informed.\n\nI read quite a few newspapers and magazines representing different points of view.  I also watch Jim Lehrer's News Hour on PBS - the only TV news show worthy of the name.\n\nIt's not hard to be informed - it's just that most folks aren't really interested in that.
