I was a little bored. I was just curious how people would vote here. I'd rank them from best to worst as

MSNBC
CNN
Fox Noise

You really like CNN over MSNBC? I like most of the anchors on both networks but I think the CNN ones are a little dry/dull because with the exception of Lou Dobbs they don't assert their own opinions ever. They just state facts after facts. I think Chris Matthews as well as guys on the left (Olberman) and right (Tucker, Scarborough) bring the news with so much more charisma. Larry King puts me to sleep!

they're all prety bad. if you are an expert and can't fit the key issues into a 30 second sound byte then the lady yells at you. a lot of their stories are reported so incompletely to the point where it's almost misinformation. it's pretty bad out there.

internet is the best source of information simply because you can see every side of an issue. but at the same time it obviously can be the worst if you arent careful and don't learn to sort the info yourself

I don't like the NBC slant. They seemed to be anti-US ever since the first Gulf War, even in their newscasts. CNN is a little dry but I really liked how they were spotlighting Zimbabwe recently and all the tragedy there.

well said. The news media is such a joke. Foxnews is by far the worst source of getting news. CNN and MSNBC are not far behind. They all have an agenda. People call them out on their BS all the time. Foxnews has proved that newsmedia is like WWF. Its entertainment. They tell you what they want you hear 99% of the time. Turn off your TVs and turn on your computers.

They all suck. Crap going on all around the world and I have to sit through 6 hours of straight analysis as to why some random good looking blonde is missing in Iowa.
