Poll question: What TV News Station Do You Watch The Most?
Which major outlet do you get your news most from. I know most of everyone probablly gets their news off the net, but what TV station do you watch the most?

10. I really think Comedy Central deserves to be on the list
The Daily Show, Crank Yankers and Reno 911 are some of the most informative shows on television.

11. I read the BBC, Guardian, and check Yahoo headlines.

Even they suck ass at times but not nearly as painful as watching pretentious prats play at being journalists... You can't pay me to watch any cable "news" channel regularly.

20. Just for the halibut.
Just expressing my distaste for TV news. That's my only form of protest, to not watch it.

18. Does CNN Headline News count as Other?
I look for stories only, once someone tries to tell me "what this all means" that remote almost clicks itself on to the next channel.

HLN does enough to inform, and keeps the talking head-dom to a minimum.

Add Cspan BBC then MSNBC and CNN then the Networks.

Who comes in dead last goes without saying :D

21. Don't watch alot of TV news
but when I do it's ABC (Australian not US) and SBS, neither of which are dedicated news channels but their nightly news is quite good, particularly SBS which has a focus on World news.

The only dedicated channels that I really watch is BBC (when it's not drowning in f'n soccer that is) and very occasionally Faux if there's nothing good on the Comedy Channel

24. There should have been a choice for "none." TV news sucks.
I get my news from radio, because the medium limits the BS stories we get. It's brief and doesn't allow for "on the scene" reporters who are getting their allotment of face time on a story that's twice as long as it needs to be.

What is usually covered by TV in a half hour can be covered by radio in five minutes, with the same information relayed.

26. PBS..
The Newshour with Jim Lehrer is the most informative hard news program.

I watch Fox occasionally just to keep up with the Republican talking points..

Edited on Wed Jul-14-04 09:35 AM by Endangered Specie

28. COMEDY CENTRAL
The only "TV news" I watch is The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. He is the only guy I trust to give me the truth.
