Networks suck.

Newhour is the best.
BBC as well.

CNN is OK, they have fallen mightliy since the heyday of rogue Ted Turner, the NorthEaster Corpobots ruined it.....Time Warner and AOL.

Fox is good for an alternative slant.

MSNBC is a propoganda machine.

I like to watch them all actually. I find that watching too much of Fox or CNN just angers me even with my political views.

PBS does it's best to provide the facts when I watch it, but I've never really thought to myself, hmm, gotta watch that PBS news this evening. Do they have a dedicated daily news broadcast?

Several.

The main one is the The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer which airs on the east coast on the main PBS feed at 7 pm.

Nightly Business Report normally at 6:30 Eastern

They will be the only OTA network tomorrow with wall to wall coverage of Sonia Sotomayer Senate Confirmation Hearings on their World feed.

They also have several weekly shows.

That said I watch PBS for information.

Fox and MSNBC are both propaganda machines, totally biased but pretend not to be.

CNN is a tabloid channel now. Once it was really good, but those days are gone with the first Gulf War.

That said a couple of times a week I do listen to MSNBC and Fox, otherwise I keep up with the water cooler political discussions. It's a dead give away when I hear phrases used by both repeated, then those are the people that claim to have figured it out by themselves. That is immpossible since it is totally made up propaganda that is off the wall. So unless they are good at propaganda themselves, they didn't think of it, they heard it on cable news.

CNN doesn't even get used on my set anymore. Wolf Blitzer and Cooper should go take Bill O'Rielly's old place at Inside Addition.
