If I had to pick one I'd say CNN,even though I generally surf the news. It's all pretty much the same anyway,except for the ones that obviously lean one way or the other;

It's both of them, not "either or."

Hit the 'submit' button too fast - I voted for NBC but after thinking about it, I cannot recall the last time that I watched it. Usually I will watch the news on PBS. More often than not, I get my news from visiting several online newspapers.

Right now, we watch ABC News with Diane Sawyer from time to time. Otherwise, we just get news from the Internet. We've given up on Fox, HLN, and CNN unless something big is going on. We're tired of commentators and murder/mystery shows instead of news. We watch as much local news as we can stand to find out where people are being murdered and what the weather is going to be. Otherwise, the media frenzy around whatever sensational trial is hot this month nationally is getting to be ridiculous.

Default Bbc

BBC, on those rare times I watch TV. Otherwise, I read.

I haven't seen FOX in over 20 years, and from what I keep hearing coming from that network, I'm better off.

I have to watch several news channels to get the full picture any one news story. Fox reports a story one way and then CNN reports it another way. If I want to laugh I watch MSNBC or HLN. Some of the best reporting come from Fox business channel, CNBC, or Bloomberg. I never watch network news. I do try to catch BBC news if I can, then I can get a totally different view.

I haven't watched ABC, CBS or NBC in almost 30 years. The only TV I have right now is an old 14" from a garage sale and it occupies a very secondary spot in the house.

If a nuclear bomb was set off in Washington D.C., it would likely be a day or more before I knew about it. Possibly I wouldn't know until tax time.
