Prophet of Mike Zagurski 0 Report post Posted August 3, 2006 I watch both CNN and Fox because I am fair and balanced. It's weird how one network will cover a live event like a Bush speech (CNN, I am not kidding) and Fox will talk about something else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Danville_Wrestling 0 Report post Posted August 3, 2006 I also favor C-Span, especially that Washington Journal show in the morning where they read you the newspaper. Corny concept but its fun to listen to the wacky callers. All of the other cable news places have their deficiencies. I don't like CNN because I am not a big fan of Larry King and their coverage is a bit too liberal for my tastes. Fox is more of an ESPN for news type network but I can't really stand the "debates" they have every hour on the hour with people just yelling over top of each other getting nothing accomplished. MSNBC I hardly watch at all because it seems that it has too many people over there who are uncomfortable in front of a camera. MSNBC did a number on me with the Abrahms report several years ago that I'll never forget when the entire show seemed to collapse as Abrahms messed up guest introductions, didn't know when segments were ending, etc. Just very funny and unprofessional. I prefer to ignore most domestic cable news and just read papers, policy journals, and magazines. Still get all of the arguments but with less fluff especially on the foreign affairs pieces which interest me a great deal. I like the BBC a lot but it doesn't fall into this category so yea.

KingPK 0 Report post Posted August 3, 2006 I can't stand any of them right now for more than 5 minutes. Usually I'll tune into either CNN or FOX for their little half hour headline updates, but the only personality I can remotely tolerate on either network is Anderson Cooper. Sheppard Smith can get eaten by lions for all I care and Nancy Grace can go right in after him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big Ol' Smitty 0 Report post Posted August 4, 2006 This seems as good a place as any for this. On his Fox News program, Bill O'Reilly called Mel Gibson's recent anti-Semitic comments "inexcusable," but said it is "more important" to discuss the "point where the media and individual Americans start to enjoy the suffering of rich and powerful people." Guest Geraldo Rivera later suggested that O'Reilly refer to "that schmuck from MSNBC," apparently MSNBC host Keith Olbermann; Rivera added that the "schmuck from MSNBC" is a "lowlife." Rivera also asserted that Comedy Central hosts Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert "make a living putting on video of old ladies slipping on ice and people laughing" and that they "exist in a small little place where they count for nothing." Now I wanna watch Olbermann, Stewart, and Colbert to see if they react to this dickwaving by two of the biggest douchebags on planet Earth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't forget Erica Hill. She's the best. I'm a CNN guy and die inside whenever I miss The Situation Room, but will always switch around when big things are going on to see how it's being reported in other outlets. Since I've been working a lot lately and can only catch later programs, Lou Dobbs is really, really good. It's really the only old-school news show they have left in their primetime lineup. I have no idea why Larry King is still on. I never known anyone who watches it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
