Refuse to post on the poli board, but just want a channel to say what the results are and leave the fricking circus out of it. Have watched NBC previously and have generally enjoyed Brian Williams, but this election is nuts and I would rather avoid the horse shite. Which channel has the most tolerable anchors/coverage in your opinion? I will not watch Fox News or CNN for obvious reasons.

I had a feeling this would be the case, unfortunately.

This would be entertaining if they have it.

If you just want objectivity I would watch a foreign news source like BBC.
Cable news has picked sides and MSM does not want Trump to win at all. Fox is even turned on him, which is odd for the Conservative news channel.

This is the first election where I don't have a favorite, I dislike both candidates and I keep hoping for something to come up giving us a third choice.

PBS.

I feel they are liberal as hell but bite holes through their lips to keep their mouths shut.

So at least they try. Watched a few minutes of their post debate coverage. They bent over backward to be middle of the road.

There is no unbiased news source out there. You have left-leaning to far-left news coverage and then right-leaning Fox News. There's no middle ground and that's the problem.

Bias is inherit in any organization/human beings in general. To make a balanced, informed opinion, the best you can do is evaluate information from all sides objectively then make choices based on what factors are most important to you.

I watch them all and I think CNN is the closest.

They do a good job of having a panel from both sides

Not sure what CSPAN's coverage will be but they are neutral to the point of boredom

Because Trump doesn't care if he wins or loses. If he loses he will just go on to create TrumpTV and take away a huge amount of their ultra conservative viewers

Fox News is going to look fricking stupid because they propped up a guy into making him their own competition.
