Favorite cable news networks? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

What are your favorite cable networks for news? There's CNN, FOX, CNN Headline News/HLN, and MSNBC. Which ones do you like, dislike?

I don't really watch the news on TV a lot, but I guess my favorite would be a tie between FOX and CNN. CNN has the best on-air presentation IMO. I also like their Headline News channel during the day, because it's a quick way to see what's going on with the rolling newscasts. If I'm watching about something political (which is rare, I'm not that interested), I'll watch FOX usually. So for all-around news, CNN... for politics, FOX. I wish FOX would get rid of that news ticker that rolls at the bottom and switch to the style that CNN is doing now - it makes it easier to read. I associate that rolling strip at the bottom with 9/11. I favor both equally I guess, because I watch them for different things.

I think my least favorite is MSNBC - absolutely nothing compelling there for me and I just don't care for it. I never watch.

Dont really watch the news much on TV but I do like Fox because in my opinion most other news channels are liberal bias. Fox does have conservatives and liberals on their programs.

I tend to agree. That's why I usually watch only Fox when it comes to a political issue.

I would say my favorite news channel is MSNBC (I love Keith Olberman - he's so hilarious!). I also like CNN.

I absolutely can't stand Fox News Channel - they are so blatantly right wing!

I like CBC Newsworld.

CBC is a Canadian station (a great one, too!), so I think that CBC Newsworld must be a news division of it. My favorite is CNN.
