Poll question: What 6:30 network news program and host do you like the best?
Edited on Thu Jun-03-04 05:50 PM by Bombtrack
I know for me it's seperate. I watch the CBS broadcast most but I like Brokaw way more than Rather. I just think more highly of him as a journalist. However there are several things about the overall program of NBC nightly news that irks me, such as the reporting of people like Campbell Brown(a total non-talent hardly worthy of being called a journalist) and Lisa Myers(who comes across as having an agenda that is certainly not friendly to progressive interests).

Anyway what's your preference?

4. interesting
was just talking about this with a friend.

i prefer the production value/format of nbc news, but i think jennings is by far the best anchor in america.

lucky for me, in the atlanta market i'm able to watch nbc first, then abc later.

tho the more i hear about cbs news and the good they're doing, the more i'm becoming inclined to make a switch.



((it's kinda like leno and letterman)) i think the tonight show with leno is much better produced and interesting to watch. but i like letterman tons more than leno, he's much funnier, too.

5. I'd rather watch Dan...
CBS is the farthest left of the three networks and the three major cable outlets, meaning that it's merely solidly right-of-center.
