Ok, I will admit I watch these channels more than the average person. I watch them more than all other channels combined. Do I have any leverage for a reimbursement here? This is ridiculous. When I called to create my package, this was the one channel I said I had to have.

I vote Republican, but I identify as a Libertarian. Fox News is the worst. No matter what the story is, they will always focus on the angle to bash Dems/Obama. It's really pretty sad.

what news channel is better? They all have their bullshite slants but this isn't what this thread is about.

To the OP, not sure what you can do, that is the problem with all of these programming pissing contests. The ones that lose are the viewers and it is usually over pennies to us.

Consider yourself lucky. People that don't watch any news at all are more informed than Fox News viewers. LINK

For a conservative leaning group, most on these boards hate fox. Never understood that.
I enjoy bashing libs, so I watch fox.

I seriously doubt you watch much of the news channels if you claim it is the worst. It certainly leans right but MSNBC takes that cake when it comes to partiality.

Can someone please point me toward a news channel that is better? MSNBC might as well change their network name to the Communist News Network (too bad CNN is taken) while CNN might as well change their name to the History Channel because all they show nowadays are documentaries.

As far as 24/7 news is concerned, your choices are Fox and MSNBC.

Communist News Network? You clearly watch Fox.

Try BBC News. Or Al Jezeera.

I watch both because I find them both very entertaining for different reasons. But I would be lying if I didn't say Fox News identifies more with my political views. MSNBC has some crazed leftist analysts on that network.

Al Jezeera actually isn't half bad but I don't get it with Dish.
