FOX .vs. MSNBC .vs. CNN

Which one do you favor?

I definitely favor CNN. It's not perfect and I can see why some people might find it to be a bit dry, but I find it to be more "serious" than the other other two. FOX is ridiculously sensational and is too wrapped up in the conservative agenda while MSNBC has tried to copy the biased FOX model with equally silly results. On CNN, there are some good programs that talk about geopolitics in a BCC-esque fashion.

And CCN has Soledad O'Brien who is by far the hottest woman in news.

I watch Rachel Maddow alot, I used to watch Countdown with Keith Olbermann all the time until he left.

I don't watch cable news, but I haven't seen ridiculous clips from news commentary from CNN in nearly the same volume that MSNBC and Fox pumps them out. Plus, people say that CNN is boring. This means that they're probably less sensationalist. So, I'll go with them.

I get my news from Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert

PBS, NPR and BBC. Fox CNN and MSNBC suck.Ontain

This exactly.

CNN is more "serious"? Do you mean the network that puts Josh Lev on air to read tweets and FB posts from Joe Dingleberry about current events? Yeah right.thegerg

Just because I say they are more serious doesn't mean that I am saying they don't have their silliness also.

Like I said, CNN actually has some serious neutral programs. FOX and MSNBC is non-stop partisan punditry.

The Onion. Best news source out there.

I also watch Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert.

CNN, though if you want the real news you've got to watch Comedy Central weeknights from 11-12:P

You're a good man!

Don't really care for CNN. MSNBC is just trash. Fox is trash but I love O'Reilly and they have actual news shows (not opinionated shows).

Ugh...everything you read on FOX, MSNBC, and CNN is more fictitious than anything John Grisham could ever dream up, but I would have to go with FOX because I tire of watching the other networks fight for space in Obama's rectum. At some point, they are going to have to pass around a collection plate to pay that poor man's proctologist.

I'm an NPR kind of guy.

@Gamerforca I like your new avi better. :)

As someone who is a good deal left of center, I have to admit that I can tolerate Beck far more than O'Reily.

O'Reily may be more rational or centrist or whatever, but he has a horrible attitude.

Fox is the more entertaining news source.

I like whichever one encourages my preconceived notions.

Yeah, that's what I was talking about when I was talking about his broken arguments in the O'Reily-Obama thread.

For real. If I'm not mistaken, he compared DailyKos to Nazis.

Out of those I'd go with Fox. They are definitely the most reputable in that grouping. Normally though BBC is the best.

You do realize that CNN is far more like the BBC in terms of style and tone than FOX is, right?

BBC News.

Because Fox is faster on the news than CNN from my experience.

I agree with this as well. Unlike MSNBC and CNN. fox likes to look at both sides of the coin although they may not agree with one. The likes of Rachel Maddow just know how to bash bash bash blindly.

Liberals like who?

It is obviously a conservative-flavored network. Saying that they have an unbiased take is to be blind to reality.

The conservative slant somehow disappears because they have some liberal guests? MSNBC has Joe Scarborough. Does that somehow make them unbiased?

CNN doesn't even engage in the partisan punditry whatsoever. What person on CNN is a leftwing pundit?

And Maddow isn't any more partisan than Hannity/Beck. Why do you engage in such blatant double standards?

The truth is that you just think FOX is more reputable because it is conservative.

It is pretty sad that some people are actually convinced by the "fair and balanced" tagline.

None of them, I google for news 2 or 3 times a day to get the stories without the drivel. Then at night I'll watch stewart/colbert make fun of aforementioned drivel.

Although I must say colbert's studio audience usually seems pretty dumb, a lot of less obvious jokes seem to go over their head.

But not everyone is a partisan pundit. :shock:

Even if we took this to be true (which I don't, but I will just for the sake of argument), speed/=/reputability.
