Foxnews or CNN?
I would think you can tell a persons political leanings by the website they use to view their online news. Would you agree? Which site is your favorite for online news?
Foxnews here.

I prefer watching CNN every time I watch cable. I guess it it because it is much more famous in our country at the same time I like their news most of the time

Fox News 100%, especially after the Obama-maniacs said Fox News isn't a news organization... (just goes to show ya there's a bunch of not-so-intelligent people working in the White House, as if anyone's surprised by that).
CNN? I think they are as bad as NBC and CBS at trumpeting the pro-Obama messages. I prefer to get my news from someone who isn't bought off by the government. (No, I can't prove that, so don't ask for urls or anything. But you know as well as I do how it looks.)

CNBC for Business news and NPR for regular news
CNN is too far left and Fox is too far right = both are worthless to a viable and useful source of news
they are more a commentary provider

Have Fox news become anti-government with the arrival of Obama? I guess they are good at instigations and causing polical disasters

I read articles on every kind of media. No it doesn't tell a person political trend, only the comments can show who you really are.
If you read only your favorite media, you will never have a right vision of what going on.
I read articles in US, Canada, France, England, Russia, in English or French and that's very interesting to see their point of views, it gives you a better idea of the press information.

Personally I like to pay attention to several and then decide for myself where the truth is.

I prefer watching CNN more than any other news network. I like the way they present the news, the content, the graphics, the concept of the program, the camera shots, and their creativity.

The lucrative business of Obama-bashing
http://blogs.reuters.com/great-debat...obama-bashing/
"I'd say that all news networks in the US are pretty horrible. They all have their agendas, biases, and official lines of reporting. I do like Reuters as it seems more objective than the others. But just as the liberal media did with Bush bashing why would it be unfair for conservative media to bash Obama. The viewership for Fox is higher, because it's normal that when the curent president is a liberal, the liberal media won't report objectively on him. Same is true of conservative media and Bush... The sad part is that current administration is so vocal about their dissatisfaction with Fox. It makes them look petty. Especially during present times when people are eagerly expecting results, from a president who promissed so much."

I'm somewhere between Crickets position & catchingsmoke. I like multiple sources, but take them all with a grain of salt.
When we moved to our current spot we found we had maybe the only place in the Ft Worth metro area where cable wasnt available, so I went thru a withdrawal from 24 hour news channels. In the long run they didnt say anything i couldnt pick up elsewhere, so now I live vicariously thru the cable connections of guys like y'all.
Oddly I don't miss it that much, I can still get a talking head fix Sunday morning when McGoughlin group hits PBS and Stephanopolis does his round table.
