Question

Add your comments.

Answer 1

I like to surf around, and make my own judgments on what is fact and what is sensationalism.

I think a lot of the posters above are confusing reporting the news with the commentators on the networks.

People like Hannity, O'Rielly and Olberman aren't news reporters, they're commentators and give their own "spin" on the news.

Answer 2

Fox IS fair and balanced. All the other media outlets lean so far to the left, they can't see the light of day.

Answer 3

I like MSNBC.  I love Morning Joe, especially with Willie's "News You Can't Use."  I like the contrast with Pat Buchanan and the other anchors on the show.  I also love "Countdown with Keith Olbermann."  During the Olympics, I watched CNN.  The news was good and informative, but not half as much personality as MSNBC.  I also like to see Bid Ed Schultz on MSNBC.  I listen to him on Sirius.

Answer 4

I like to surf around.

but I don't stop on MSNBC anymore

and I can't stand Hannity for even a half second.

Answer 5

I honestly flip through them all....

It pretty much goes MSNBC, then when that goes to commercial, I flip to Fox for a good laugh, then onto CNN.

Fox = Right

MSNBC = Left

CNN = Middle of the Road

Answer 6

On the blood of my dead mother I swear that I can't stand watching Fox. It's so blatantly the Republican propaganda outlet. They barely mentioned the DNC yesterday. How does a news org. not cover the convention? The proof of who is and is not fair will be revealed during the RNC. All the news orgs. will cover it, proving that only Fox is a fake news outlet.

I watch CNN and MSNBC about equally, but I get most of my news on the internet.

Answer 7

I mainly watch FOX, but watch the others to see what they are saying about FOX.

Answer 8

Honestly... I watch mostly Fox, my husband watches mostly CNN... so we get a good mix of both in there... Personally though we don't really watch too many commentators because they all p**s us off whether it's O'Rielly or Olbermann (or however you spell it) but I do like to watch Glenn Beck because he seems to make sense to me...

Answer 9

I don't get so much as an ounce of political news from FOX even though I am conservative. I read the Boston Globe daily and when I can I will watch CNN and MSNBC when I can. I like to know where the enemies of my country are coming from, what they are thinking. I'm sure I could give FOX a few lessons. And no, I don't care to hear or see O'Reilly.

If you want to understand the politics of this country, get a hold of a lot of American history books, old ones, not what you find at Barnes & Noble, Brooks and Walden Books.

Answer 10

i try to watch them all, delete the obvious propaganda, and then try to assess the truth.

Answer 11

Fox. I rarely watch CNN, and never watch the blatantly-liberal MSNBC. Fox regularly presents BOTH sides of the issues. I think this is why they draw so much ire from some liberals out there. Some people are just VERY intolerant on any opposing viewpoint. Since Fox has led the ratings for years now, I would say that most people agree with me.

Answer 12

MSNBC by far. Fox shouldn't even be on the list. They aren't a news channel. Bill O'reilly and the rest of those clowns can't be taken sriously.

Answer 13

Fox.

Because I don't get a 'tingle up my leg' for Obama.

Answer 14

Yeah, everyone knows fox is more accurate and provides better coverage of news events.  They just check facts better, have more people on the scene faster, and do not censor the news to protect liberal interests.  Which news channel put a guy on the ground in georgia first to report that the russians were invading and prove it? You already know the answer.  

I feel that their reporting is fair, but that bias is to be found in the tone of voice and body english of their anchors.  They are clearly conservative.

Their news analysis tends toward conservative, but this is forgivable because it is opinion based and at the digression of the channel.  I feel that it is much closer to most americans than the network news or cnn.  Remember that all the network news refused to run the Monica Lewinsky story.  Unbelievable.

I was surprised to see that polls have shown the viewership of fox news  is not more liberal than CNN.  Remember when CNN thought Gore was elected and cheers could be heard  throughout the studio on air?

I would like to get a more liberal perspective from the other news stations, but i feel that they do such a poor job they arent worth watching.

I  watched an hour and a half of NBC the other day and they brought on six declared democrats and asked them how much they like Obama.  They didnt report any news.  They should be ashamed of themselves.
