Which Cable News Channel Do You Watch, CNN, MSNBC, or FOX NEWS ?

[jay-3d]

1. no cable

[indepat]

36. I will never again watch any news on any of those three cable networks

in this lifetime.

[Cleita]

2. Very small doses of CNN for breaking news only.

Usually, I watch CNN international on weekends (a whole different animal than Atlanta CNN), NWI, PBS and BBC. But then I don't do much news TV anymore preferring the internet and DU.

[mzmolly]

3. I flip around.

:crazy:

[Placebo]

4. So does that make you a FLIP FLOPPER?

:crazy:

[mzmolly]

22. I imagine in some circles ... it does.

:P

[eleny]

5. Olberman

[parasim]

6. None of the above

I prefer Newsworld International and BBC America as far as cable news goes, otherwise I go to the web for news.

[Eurobabe]

14. ditto

Not watching anything sanctioned by Pravda on the Potomac.

[realFedUp]

7. Hundreds of cable stations....

and only three, aside from Cspan that air
politics and news. Aside from one named Faux,
the other two are a crap shoot everyday.

That's choice in Amerika.

[DebJ]

8. I voted CNN, because they seem the least biased..we watch

Fox for a few minutes on occasion and then almost puke and have to change the channel.

[Hoping4Change]

9. I used to watch CNN alot but now mostly for breaking news

although sometimes I'll watch Lou Dobbs.

[0007]

10. Unfair voting poll. What about folks like me that has kissed 'em

all bye bye. I've been excluded in your voting poll, LOL! No biggie!

How many watch PBS, News International, c-span, or BBC?

[Placebo]

13. Sorry I Didn't Include C-SPAN...

I was thinking more 'The BIG 3' :bounce:

[0007]

25. You mean the sleazy little three, don't you?

These whore networks are only for entertainment and slanting toward junior helps obtain favorable reviews with the right with given propaganda.

Back Rush Limbaugh into a corner and he'll tell you he is all about entertainment and nothing else.

[newsguyatl]

11. ha, for only 3 votes so far

there sure are a lot of du'ers who complain about cnn, so SOME of you guys ARE watching.

[enigmatic]

12. I watch CBC, CTV, and BBC....

And very little CNN and MSNBC..

[tom_paine]

15. NONE!

[LoZoccolo]

16. Believe it or not, FOX NEWS!

I don't have cable myself, but my grandfather watches Fox News sometimes when I'm over, and when I'm over at my mom or dad's I have that morbid curiousity about picking at it looking for right-wing bias. So Fox News it is!

[doc03]

31. Same here, I am forced to watch it at the gym, the Freepers always

have FOX tuned in. When at home I watch CBS and C-span for news. I do watch Tweety and Lew Dobbs at times. I can only take O'Liely or Insanity for a very short time or I would shoot the TV. The cable news channels drive me nuts with all the non-news they cover. Yesterday FOX was talking about the Presidential campaign and they
had a "Breaking News Bulletin", Micheal Jackson and his weird ass family just came back to court from their lunch break. I couldn't give a flying F--- what Michael Jackson, Scott Peterson or Koby do.

[TheDonkey]

17. CNN but lately they've gone wacko so a little of bsnbc

I like Crossfire and Inside Politics just because it's only (or usually) just about politics. Countdown and Hardball are ok but tweety can annoy me.

[Zorra]

18. Television is an insidious RW propaganda device and I don't watch it.

Neither do my children, by their own choice. We all have much better things to do with our time than sit around and get "normalized" and socially innoculated by RW corporate brainwashing devices.

[KharmaTrain]

19. ABC News Now Is Suprisingly Decent...

I've had the chance to watch it over the past week...and, while amateurish in presentation to its far bigger and richer brothers, this channel isn't too bad. They aired the MoveOn spot against the swiftfreepers before I saw it on other channels and rerun a lot of Nightline and Nightly News segements that have been critical of the regime.

Also one of Mario Cuomo's son's is an anchor and hosts an inside politic show that was pretty good at reporting the spin of the other media outlets.

For International coverage, there's also NWI...News World International...they air newscasts from the CBC, BBC, RFI in France, DW in German, Russian and Chinese TV...a very nice alternative to the muck on the other channels.

Cheers!

21. ABC Has a CABLE NEWS Network??

Do they???

If so this is news to me, I would love to find it!

[Placebo]

24. GAH can anyone answer?

:bounce:

[KharmaTrain]

28. Yep...It's Just Started

I get it two ways here...one on our digital cable (Comcast) and it's also on one of the secondary channels of our local ABC (WLS-TV) affiliate...for anyone with an HDTV or a Digital TV card (far, far cheaper). I think they are also on Dish Network, too.

The Chicago version is funky as they cut in and out of local newscasts...usually abrutply, but having that local angle isn't a bad thing either.

Cheers!

[kentuck]

20. MSNBC..with all its warts..

:shrug:

[in_cog_ni_to]

23. All during the day...C-SPAN is on..

I watch Washington Journal and have been watching the hearings on 911.


at night I watch Hardball...sometimes, depending on who's on. I'll occasionally watch Aaron Brown (CNN)....depends on what he has going for the night. I like McEnroe (CNBC). I watch him sometimes when he has a good guest.

I haven't watched FAUX NEWS since the idiot was selected by the Supreme Court. I couldn't stand their "smugness"...it was sickening. :puke:

Since I recently got satellite radio, I mostly listen to Air America. I LOVE their take on current affairs! :hi:

[Spiffarino]

26. I can only stand so much MSNBC

It goes along OK, then they trot out Ann Coulter or some equally despicable nut and I have to turn it off for about a week. I keep it on CNN-Headline for news updates (Rudi...yowza!!), and sometimes CNN for a little while. Aaron Brown and Anderson Cooper are pretty good. Larry King puts me to sleep.

I only watch Fox News to keep up my fighting spirit.

[Shopaholic]

27. I flip

between Anderson Cooper on CNN and Hardball on MSNBC at 7pm, watch the Countdown with Keith Olbermann at 8pm on MSNBC, and (sometimes) watch Aaron Brown at 10pm on CNN.

[bigwillq]

29. I usually sample all 3

I'm just a news junkie no matter how biased a station may be. It's good to get a feel on how each station is reporting a certain story.

Each of those stations has it's good and bad qualities but I still watch them all.

[Spiffarino]

33. If you can sit through Faux News

...even for a few minutes, you have a stronger stomach than I do. I get acid within the first 30 seconds of Hannity and colmes and have to take a Pepto.

[monchie]

30. None of the above

I quit watching cable news in January 2001 and haven't been back since except for the week after 9/11 (though even then I mostly watched the local NYC coverage). The simultaneous feeding frenzies surrounding the phony Marc Rich pardon "scandal," the phony WH trashing "scandal" and the phony AF 1 trashing "scandal" were the last straws for me.

These days the only cable news show I watch is The Daily Show...and that's fake news. But it's a helluva lot more honest and truthful than any of the so-called "news" channels.

I still have my cable service though, because I like other types of channels, like HBO, Showtime, Sci Fi, VH1 Classic, BBC America, etc. If we were able to pick and choose our channels, I wouldn't take any of the cable news outlets. In fact, I'm halfway tempted to use the parental controls to lock them out of my remotes.

[kiahzero]

32. I've always preferred NBC news

I like NBC local news (it always seems more professional than the other stations to me). My only problem with MSNBC is that they repeat the same three shows in prime time.

[Killarney]

34. MSNBC - for Countdown with Keith Olbermann

[keyzersoze13]

35. None

After Iraq they have all become unbearable. I perfer to get my news from BBC and the New York Times.

[ldf]

37. i refuse to watch

any news on any fox channel, cnn or any nbc channel.

period. they can not be trusted to tell the truth.

if i can't find news elsewhere i will stay proudly uninformed.

[TheSickEmpire]

38. Boycotting cable. We get our news from LBN, and

only watch CBS for both the local and national news, but LBN is our primary news source, then there's CPSAN.

My mom (dmr) did turn on MSNBC this week-end to see how things were in Florida since she's got 2 sisters and 2 brothers and assorted nieces and nephews in Central, North Florida and the Gulf Coast. Mostly she watched the Weather Channel.
