Default From Who Do You Get Your TV National News?

I'm curious, whether more people who post here get their national TV news from ABC/NBC/CBS/PBS or from one of the 24 hour cable TV news channels.

I'm not talking about opinion shows like, for example, Olbermann, O'Reilly or Dobbs. I'm talking about the nightly national news, the kind that's supposed to be straight reporting with an anchor person.

I'm asking because I have never seen the national news shows of Gibson, Couric or Williams. I don't watch hardly any TV on those channels.

What's the difference, in your opinion, between the cable and broadcast nightly national straight news shows in covering the presidential election?

Both - lately I watch MSNBC news a great deal more because I work from home a lot, and have it on. For national nightly news I like NBC and Brian Williams.

I enjoy Drudge's site too. And when I have an empty stomach, I actually listen to Rush.
