"You are told America cannot afford free healthcare, while it is readily available in my country (Britain) and indeed most of Europe, Canada and even Cuba, yet the richest country in the world cannot provide it's own citizens with comprehensive healthcare coverage."

America has 290 plus million people. Socialized healthcare would never work. Hell, it's not even working that well for Canada who has a mere fraction of our population. Many of them have to wait in lines for 12 plus hours just to see a doctor, physician etc. We already pay more than our fair share of taxes to the government and I'm not to keen on the idea of a higher tax percentage being taken out of my check to go to that. It would never work here.

Back on topic
I personally watch FOX, CNN, MSNBC and what have you and I have never noticed a blatant bias as far as NEWS REPORTING. Fox has conservative talking heads , but MSNBC and CNN have liberal talking heads. Still with that said I don't base bias on pundits.
