Mine's CNN, but they all aren't good. CNN is an 8 out of 20, MSNBC is a 2 out of 20 and FAUX is a -100 out of 20.
 
I also have to agree with WildFire. I would also have to say Weekend Update. For as long as you say something really stupid, it's news, no matter which party you're affiliated with.
 
If it's out of the main three, then CNN. MSNBC is good for the regular hard news that they have on during the day while CNN and Fox have shows focused on special things, politics, or economy, what have you. So is CNN, but I mostly watch for a few of the shows they put on.

Daily Show is good too, though I don't always have the chance to catch it.
 
Cable TV here has four 24 hour newsstations, but CNN is the only one of them from those in the poll.
And it is the worst...
 
never heard of em
 
I just make up my own news and listen to that.

"Did you know that homework causes nose bleeds, more at eight"
 
Where the "none" option?
 
Um... when did Fox go cable?

And don't forget C-Span! And CNBC! And... Well, there's a bunch of others, I think. But anyway, I don't watch any of them. The Daily Show is where I get my news. Sure, it's made up, but who cares?
 
Here in France, we have only BBC News, CNN, Fox News and Al Jazeera.

About Al Jazeera, I don't understand a word about it so I don't watch it a lot.

About CNN, their treatment of information is to me too superficial. Watching CNN is a bit like reading Associated Press stories : it's good to know the headlines but not to have deeper views on it.

BBC is a good one. There are good analyzis and during the news flash, journalists are trying to say more than simply "An Earthquake occured in Bam, 20,000 people died". To me BBC News is the best english speaking news channel.

About FoxNews, I'm not sure they actually know we can see them in France ! Their way to represent this country is totally distorted and completely inaccurate. I remember once where they wanted to prove how biased was the views of French people. To do so, they selected stories from a communist newspaper (L'Humanité) which is printed only at 30,000 copies !! :lol: Tell me how accurate is that !

Now, the french news channel I like to watch is LCI. It's quite clever. It looks a bit like BBC News actually. Actually, I've heard it will be soon internationally broadcasted... but it will still be only in french. :rolleyes:
 
I like fox, it's good to see propaganda because it teaches you to keep your wits up and sepearte fact and fiction.
