But often times they seem to feel the need to fill airspace with dingbats spewing their own personal biases like it's the truth. There's no space for that under the heading of "News" in my opinion.

OK, so the 5-10 24 news networks on the air should do nothing but have live coverage from their newsroom 24/7? Have you ever sat down and watched the newsroom on CNN or MSNBC (or any other channel for that matter)? Because after about 1-2 hours they've gone through all the stories they're currently reporting on and start over from the beginning.

You're saying a news network should not help the public interpret or understand the news or the goings on in their political system, simply continue to regurgitate everything that is being reported, 24/7/365? Yeah, I strongly disagree with that sentiment, and frankly find it rather naive.
