War of the ......Networks?

Having just watched the Presidential Debate, I found it interesting flipping through CNN back to Fox, how truly biased these networks were towards one particular party. (as you can see by those headlines on their website's in the link) and it got me thinking: How would you do it differently? Usually at the debates, I stick to watching and reading things that align within my political view or else I get so mad at how biased they are skewing the facts to their advantage, but am I not doing the same thing by sticking to watching those certain channels?

This line of thinking got me to checking the Twitter world in the #debate category.  Thousands of tweets were coming through per second, an array from all over the political scene, each claiming that their side had won.

Like in class, we talked about the question of journalists being objective or subjective, and no matter how hard they try, by human nature they are going to be slightly skewed because of the differences in their lifestyles etc. How true that was manifested tonight in the coverage following the debate.  It was sad actually, because there really is no way to get pure un-biased analysis on the debate in the media now-days.  Everyone has a motive, which is now making it hard for the American people to be educated.  Depending on what news channel you watch, if you are truely an "undecided" voter, that channel will more than likely persuade you into what candidate they are supporting.  I started thinking how even in the newspapers, what should be "hard-news" stories somehow end up being somewhat editorial in the way the facts are presented.

The only fair way I could think of was to have a split newspaper like they tried having so many years ago, where one side will present it's case, having the other side presenting theirs, since it is so rare to find someone truly writing with both sides in mind.

This country has really been split into blue and red more and more as each election comes, and it's only a matter of time until it becomes too much of a divide to bring back together under one nation.
