I'm not a big fan of the "big three" cable news networks (CNN, MSNBC, and FNC) - all of them have latched on to a specific political point of view for the sake of profit. In business, it's called marketing to a niche audience. While there's nothing wrong with the idea of niche marketing (it's very profitable in the right niche), these networks deal with news events and are looked upon as reliable sources of current information.
