Cable News addicts: CNN, Fox News, or MSNBC?

[nile455]

Which is your preference?

 

[BuckNaked]

I prefer MSBNC by a mile, CNN is a distant second, and Fox News only if there is a big story and I'm flipping around during commercials on the other two.

You didn't list mine. Headline News.

This is more about the personalities, talking heads, heated debates, etc. I guess I should have stated that. Isn't Headline News mostly just a cycle of the same stories, sometimes not even live? I know they've added some shows in the last year or so, but it's not really in the same category as the other 3.

I like CNN -- but I never watch it on TV -- I read it online. Does that count?

 

[DVCLiz]

CNN, closely followed by MSNBC. Wolf and Anderson for hard news coverage, Keith Olberman for entertainment, Dan Abrams for court and celebrity crime news.

Fox only if I'm flipping between all three, although I do like Greta - wish she'd switch networks. I usually can't stand anybody else on Fox. I do like their graphics, though.

My opinion...

I like Fox with O'Reilly and Hannity/Colmes and especially Cavuto (smartest guy on cable news imo), but I can do without Greta Van der Sloot and her missing persons show.

MSNBC has a terrific lineup with Countdown and Hardball, but loses points because they waste their precious morning hours with the dreadful Imus radio show. Joe Scarborough and Tucker do nothing for me. And Rita Crosby is too bad for words.

I forgot CNN Headline News has Nancy Grace, who is outstanding. I watch her on Court TV every now and then. I do watch CNN once in a while if Larry King has a big time guest. Never really got into Anderson Cooper. I'll watch Wolf once in a blue moon (he was my first favorite cable news anchor).

I guess I watch all of them, but probably spend most of my time with Fox News.

Totally, completely , the other night I walked into the living room and Dh was watching commercials. 2 out of 3 I saw were for fiber supplements. I asked him: "What the heck channel are you watching where people are so concerned about fiber??"

Just then, the commercials ended and the "Fox News" logo appeared in the lower corner...

It was funny to me...I laughed myself silly for probably 10 minutes... while DH just looked at me.

As you're all probably doing now...

I enjoy CNN. MSNBC a distant 2nd, and Fox news isn't even on the radar. And don't get me started on that ham Bill O'Reilly.

I like Anderson Cooper, Paula Zahn, and Wolf is okay.

I watch CNBC alot too.

 

[Zippa D Doodah]

I prefer Fox, but find myself cicking to CNN sometimes out of habits

 

[palmtreegirl]

CNN. I watch Daryn Kagan in the morning and I love Anderson Cooper 360 at night.

 

[CathrynRose]

Bill OReilly!

 

[NewJersey]

Bill OReilly!

Are you implying that if maybe the Fox news team used some of these supplements, they wouldn't be so stuffy?

 

[aunt kelly]

I like Fox. I'm a conservative and I like the conservative slant they put on their news coverage. I'm convinced that all the news channels have a slant to their coverage-Fox is just more open about it.

I like to watch Larry King if he has an interesting guest. I also like Chris Matthews. I think he is always respectful to his guests, even if he doesn't agree with their views.

 

[The Mystery Machine]

I am more of a personality news watcher these days. I used to be MSNBC but now I watch all of them.

 

[Miss Jasmine]

Fox News and then CNN. I don't really stray from those two.

I Neil Cavuto and his rather large head!!!!

 

[Minniespal]

I prefer Fox News.

 

[LuvDuke]

CNN just to watch Jack Cafferty enviscerate Wolf Blitzer and Lou Dobbs having a meltdown, followed by MSNBC for Keith Olbermann, and FoxNews for the jokes.

 

[eclectics]

CNN, no contest. Anchors and correspondents that actually know their stuff and do their homework! I enjoy Anderson Cooper, Daryn Kagan, Jack Cafferty, and Lou Dobbs. Larry King always has interesting guests. The only one I don't care for is Wolf Blitzer. I wish they would have kept Aaron Brown and given Blitzer the boot!
