….which one would it be?

I’m really enjoying _The News with Shepard Smith_ on CNBC. The show is pretty global compared to other US news shows, and it’s just entertaining, even when talking about awful topics.

No question, PBS NewsHour (hey! I managed to not call it MacNeil-Lehrer!)

I second PBS News Hour. In my area it is followed by BBC America which is also pretty good.
