I flip between the two at times, but they're both shite. CNN is typically a little better with breaking news as it's happening. FOX is better for just checking to find out the top stories for the day.

24 hour news channels are for old people and doctor's lobbies

CNN

They have other shows on besides the news that I watch(their series on various decades, Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown, etc).

Both. A little MSNBC. I try to balance the clear biases.

I think the lying all started with the weathermen. The anchors and correspondents must have felt left out and have also began lying.

Fox for the most part you know what you are getting.

CNN I find comical in that during elections you see the mask come off and they show you they are no more fair than Fox.

Give me MSNBC and Fox. I'll take the partisans and figure out what I want to think about it myself.

Mostly Fox. But I can't stand Hannity. He is serious hack.

Neither. Each is just as bad in its own way.

Neither. TV news networks are terrible.

If you're from BR, you got to see just how bad they are by comparing WBRZ's coverage to the national outlets. They were hours behind on information and consistently got information wrong.

Can you guys explain which network is on which side? Like NBC, CBS, ABC, etc. I'm not into politics and don't watch the news much so I was always confused why a network is democratic or republican

Honestly the OT is by far the fastest and most trustworthy news source. Falsities and one sided thoughts get sniffed out with the quickness.

CNN mainly because I know I'm going to get a left of central spin, which opposes my view, but I can cut through it.

Watching Fox as a conservative is dangerous for your mental well being, just as MSNBC is dangerous for a liberal.


Pretty much this. I flip to Fox during commercials. Usually can't take too much MSNBC, but will watch it occasionally. I have to say that Fox is better for breaking news.

I get my news from here. That way I can get ammunition from the replies. Just for when an angry black woman starts attacking me on Facebook
