20. Hard to decide

Olbermann was certainly more direct and went for the jugular more often which made him very entertaining.

However, every time I watch Rachel, I come away with a better understanding of events because she explains context and background, not often found in other news programs.

So, if they were on TV in the same time slot (different stations) which would I watch? Rachel, because I get more from her.
