FoxNews but will go to MSNBC and CSpan for a few minutes to see what they are talking about. One nite I went over to ABC and NBC, they were so bad I have never gone back to watching them.
Does anyone else hate that retired colonel they have as a consultant on late at nite on FoxNews. I know he is on at 11pm PST (he is on with Laurie Dhue who I like). I think it is the voice, but something is irritating about him.
BBC World
CNN. Mostly because it’s always on when I want to watch. I do try to catch the BBC broadcast on our local PBS affiliate if I remember that it’s on while I’m watching.
I know it’s not a TV channel, but I have to say that I require my morning NPR fix on the way to work!
FOX News, except the pre-8:00 am morning crew (while getting ready for work). That air headed blond named Steve f-ing drives me nuts, so I go to MSNBC, avoiding CNN and their parade of dumb broads.
I don’t even check in to networks, and haven’t watched a second of network news in about 20 years except for election coverage (back when I was a grad student and couldn’t afford cable). After Dan Rather’s line “We’ve just GOT to win Florida” during the 2000 election (and I gaurantee you his ‘we’ didn’t refer to GOP), I swore off networks entirely and got cable.
Rib me all you want about FOX. I for one have grown sick of the Negative Nancy version of everything, and NPR is the worst.
Call me a happy idiot if you like. I don’t care. I was once mired in the sour, mealy-mouth, cholic, cry-baby rhetoric of the so-called “progressive” so as to avoid castigation and ad-hominem attacks. But no mas. I finally figured out that the people who are actually being constructive and productive are not the ones complaining and criticizing everything, including this country.
I’ve decided to live … and produce… and have great sex … and reproduce … and look forward to Mardi Gras.
CCTV-9 and the other local news channels.
I don’t have satellite tv here, so no CNN, BBC, CNBC or Sky news.
I switch between FoxNews and CNN. I haven’t watched MSNBC in…ever, really.
Sorry, it’s no joke. There are still a bunch of episodes that have been made but not yet seen because, as you noted, they keep pre-empting it. But they’re not making any more new ones.
BBC World News, CNN, FoxNews in that order.
BBC world service (radio) for, IMO, the most objective view.
Pacifica Radio for the alternative view, although at least 60% of their supposed news is fact-free, sanctimonious left-wing polemic that I ignore; I get particularly annoyed at their insistence upon calling Rumsfeld “Secretary of War”. It’s DEFENCE, people, that’s the official name of the position, and we poor unwashed listeners can figure your political stance out for ourselves, thank you. Sorry, got carried away there.
CNN for the middle-of-the-road Evil Corporate Media view. Jeez, I was actually thinking about starting an Aaron Brown appreciation thread, then I read all the insults heaped on him here. Personally, I find him more thoughtful and lower on the hubris scale than most other anchors. Oh, well.
MSNBC occasionally, just to see if I’m missing any of the MOR-ECM stuff. I think they should can Ashleigh Banfield and replace her with Tina Fey. Hell, they could practically be sisters.
FoxNews and the nightly network reports, rarely. They don’t seem to have anything that I can’t get from CNN.
You know that’s what it used to be called?
BBC. or ABC Nightly News. Mostly I stick with NPR.
Can’t stand CNN.
Er, yes, of course, but that’s not what the office is called any more.
I only watch it at night, and it’s always BBC World News. I have satelite TV.
Just checking. I thought maybe you thought they had just pulled it out of nowhere. Secretary of Defense does seem like an inappropriate title here, since this is in no way a defensive war.
MSNBC here. The scrolling text at the bottom makes me a little crazy, and I sometimes wonder just what the hell happened to Lester Holt’s upper lip, but other than that, it’s okay.
