Favorites? Least favorites? Why?

I like Fox News because I do believe they are fair and balanced.  They have people on who reflect both sides of a topic and very seldom does the host on Fox News let you know what side they are on.  Sometimes I do feel like they run some stuff in the ground talking about it day after day but then again most news channels do that too.  We used to watch CNN but they got way to one-sided for me and say with the big 3 national networks.  Anyway, thats my opinion and i', sticking with it.  Lol

Favorite?  Least favorite?  Good strong discussion here.  I go with the internet.  My tv has better things to do with it's time.

I'm a news junkie....my fav is Fox News.  I agree, they hammer stories too much sometimes, but I mostly enjoy their reporting.

Well, I'm also a Fox News person.  There's not really that much else on during the day and my husband needs noise all the time  ;D  I like to know what's going on in the world too  :) :)  I was glued to it while my grandson was in Iraq and will be again when he goes to Afghanistan!

I also prefer Fox News over the rest.  As a generally rule, depending upon which political party is in power I will tend to watch more of the one that isn't biased for them (even if they are biased against as a duty of our journalists is to hold the government accountable and never to play cheerleader -- except in times of war and severe national grief).  I always try to get all sides though but of course you have to start with one and I prefer to be consistent with the one I start with.
There are only 10 types of people in the world:  those who understand binary, and those who don't.

I tend to favor Fox news over other networks bcause they tend to report less opinions and more news during the news reports.  But the broadcast news shows all have an agenda to sell.

least favorites are Fox and HLN. Why? Well both spend most of their time being loudly indignant without source verification of their "facts".
