#1. Political Commentary On The Television

Almost all day, every day, there is some sort of political commentary, whether it is the news, a talk show, a show even mentioning politics, etc... there is constant political commentary being mentioned one way or another. one of the most common political commentary sources on the TV is the news. There are several different channels where anyone can watch the news such as: CNN, FOX, ABC, MSNBC, as well as other smaller channels. Each one of these channels covers similar stories, but the only thing about them is that they all have different opinions. CNN's news leans more towards the Democratic Party while FOX leans towards the Republican Party. This is one of the things that is limiting some viewers from seeing the whole side of a specific story. FOX talks more about their opinions one the Republican side without even talking about anything on the Democratic side of things, so the viewers are not getting the full coverage that they might be looking for. Although, if a person is either Republican or Democrat, they might prefer one news channel over another for that particular reason. They might enjoy the fact that these news channels are talking about their similar thoughts about a specific subject. In general the Political commentary on TV is not so much limited, but there are defiantly some channels that lean either more to the right or more to the left.
