As a person who actually worked in Journalism, information from any one source is only as good as that source. I don't bank on the points of view (and not opinion) of just one source, but from a vast array. Eventually, if you read and listen enough to a wide swath of information, you can make, then, a opinion on that issue. 

But I am guessing, instead, Eric, that your sources of information that you read to create your opinions, are not in the nature of the wide swath, but the narrow and focused on one set of philosophies. So I can see how you judge CB the way it is - because the filter you use is so narrow based on a very specific philosophy.
