for TV, Fox and Fox Business is the best there is. Sometimes you have to go elsewhere, depending on the subject. I would promote Alex Jones for behind the scenes, global government stuff. Can't wait to see what Beck is going to do next - the libs won't be happy.

Pity the Americans that get their 'news' from American TV media. No wonder America is a country of obedient, gullible saps.

Well, there's always C-Span and getting the goods from the horses' asses without a middle man.

I'll give O'Reilly points for giving it a try. He's clearly a right winger, but he makes an attempt to be fair.

I'll say Chris Wallace is fair...straight across the board. Shep Smith reports pretty fairly. I've got no issues with David Gregory. I think he does a good job of at least trying to be fair. I do miss Bob Schieffer and Tim Russert.

Props to Joe Scarborough too. He does a pretty damn good job. I'm also a big fan of Judge Andrew Napolitano although i don't always agree with him.

I kind of like Morning Joe... of the Sunday shows, I think "Face the Nation" with Bob Schieffer is pretty good.

O'reilly is always right. Anyone who doesn't agree is not a real American.

I agree. I tried watching him for a few nights because I really was interested in hearing some thoughtful, conservative opinions, but all he did was slam Obama and Democrats at every turn, and he seemed to interrupt the liberal guests often. There was nothing balanced about it.

As a regular viewer of O'Reilly, I appreciate and am pleased with your comment.
A rep point is on the way to you.
