I don't watch any of them with much frequency. I usually put it on CNN because even though they cover stupid BS most of the time, they occasionally have good pieces and seem to be more middle-of-the-road than Fox or MSNBC. I like Fareed Zakaria's show "GPS."

I've been watching a lot of the Daily Show and Colbert Report too. They do have a left-leaning slant for the most part but at least they don't try to lie about it, and John Stewart does call out leftists on their crap too when needed.

I just flip through the channels and if the story or topic is interesting, i watch it. Not partial to any one network. If a story that i find uninteresting comes on, i change to another station. I do like watching Shep Smith's show when i have time on Fox. I'll watch a little bit of Stossel, little bit of Hardball, little bit of Ed Show. Little bit of Sharpton. I do watch Bill Maher every week religiously. I usually find time for Chris Wallace's weekly show, which is top notch. Fareed Zakaria is pretty sharp too. I don't watch his show all the time, but i'll watch it if it's on.

Even if someone is spouting propaganda, doesn't bother me. I still have my own opinion about the topic, so i'm unaffected regardless. Unlike a lot of fools, i don't take it personal. They're just doing their job and trying to get ratings. It is what it is.
