Is there a decent television news show to watch in the morning?

[milestogo]

I watch Morning Joe, but I don't like it.

1. Sounds like you need to avoid any news stations!

[WhiskeyGrinder]

2. For what?

[pwb]

3. No. But lots of talk, opinion, thoughts, and invented

outrage is.

[Beastly Boy]

4. Morning shows are just this: shows. All of them.

If you are trying to find something other than a show, stay away from morning shows.

[Glorfindel]

5. Turn on your radio and listen to NPR's "Morning Edition"

Straightforward news (not opinion) delivered calmly without screaming and interruptions, and you can do other things while listening.

6. Probably the best option right now for real news. nt

7. I'm used to Morning Joe at this point.

I like the correspondents he has on. And the interviews of people who cover D.C. politics. Joe has become an Independent because he couldn't stomach the RW idiocy of his GOP. So I give him that. I do like his correspondents, esp. when they cover books by political writers. I like Mika's push for more women in the press and in power in Washington.

I really think people get too exercised about some of this. Let's save our energy and direct our efforts to get our good Dems into office and defeating the bad guys.

8. Put Pandora

on this a..m. Soothing music worked wonders.

9. Not a news "show".

BBC World News. First half hour is usually straight news. Second half hour is usually either more specialised news (business, sport, particular topic or region).

10. I watch the hummingbirds in my flower garden and sip coffee on the deck with my wife

and dogs.

[SharonClark]

14. I love watching hummingbirds on the butterfly bushes and pollinators

on the peppermint plants while drinking sangria at tea time.

Last week I watched two hummers having a squeaky face-off in midair.

[Xoan]

11. Short answer...

No

[NewHendoLib]

16. this.

[MineralMan]

12. Local and national news on ABC, CBS, or NBC affiliate stations.

News, not commentary. Find out what has happened and what is happening that way.

Don't have cable. Plug an antenna into your digital TV.

10 times more people watch the news on traditional networks than all cable news channels combined.

15. I like to watch my local news usually for 30 minutes in the morning.

I’ll occasionally watch a little bit of New Day, but it’s so repetitive.

[Klaralven]

24. New Jersey, eleventh in size by population, doesn't have a major network broadcast TV station

And I'm totally uninterested in who shot who in Queens.

[SharonClark]

13. Listen to NPR and you can bake cinnamon rolls at the same time.

That's what I did this morning.

18. Depends; do you only want to hear opinions you agree with?

In my view, too many people here do.

[milestogo]

19. I want news delivered by people who are not annoying or stupid.

[brooklynite]

20. Define "annoying"

[milestogo]

23. Joe Scarborough is annoying.

Talks about himself constantly, brings no real perspective to events. I like a lot of the guests on the show, but he is awful.

[Chuuku Davis]

21. If I watch anything

It is BBC news

[Hotler]

22. No. ....nt

[ProfessorGAC]

25. Brianna Is On CNN in The AM

I think she's excellent.

26. Just watch TV at 7 am (EDT)

Over the air.

That will get enough national (and local) news out in 30 minutes to keep myself informed.

[LiberalFighter]

28. In the morning? I don't think so.

Your best bet if late afternoon and evening don't work for you is to put the shows that you feel provide the best content on record.

I do that for Maddow and O'Donnell just in case I miss it. And do the same for local news.
