Seriously, when it comes to news, what exactly DO you watch? CNN? Fox? Local news? How about BBC? Even Al Jazeera has news from a relatively unbiased perspective (believe it or not) if you can get them.

Living in Canada though I have an unfair advantage, our primary news channels do "news" and not a lot of political slants favoriting one side or the other.

But this poll is for Americans, in all honesty which "news" outlets do you mostly follow?
 
You had one more option. Why stop at 9?

Don't talk about fc.

It's all this place is. And many live for it.
 


After several decades in the broadcast news business, I tend toward print. I used to respect the CBC. However they've cut the budget on radio and have blown the budget on TV, hiring "average" every day Canadians as reporters. While they're clearly designed to reflect Canadian society as the Ceeb sees it, based on their staff one would be surprised "white" is a majority in Canada, or that males represent half the nation.

They've surrendered actual "news" for multi-ethnic programming, a culture festival will lead, over hard news. The "ceeb" is boring, their on air personalities are now chosen for their homeliness or obesity and they have removed the best adverbs and adjectives from the official lexicon. While the nation sees them as "left of center" I see them as anti-Canadian, favoring minorities over everyone else. Anyone watching only the Ceeb would think Canadians are dark skinned and have East Indian accents.

Oh and "indigenous" is a noun, an adverb, a verb, and a password to the CBC executive toilet.

The truth is that since the 2010's the ceeb is not really informing Canadians, they're conditioning us. Meanhile the private sector defines "news" based on what used to be called gossip, and prays an election will come soon so the veiwers will give a shit.

And the Canucks still SUCK!

Yeah same, I have given up on television news and that says something, seeing as how I spent quite some time doing electronic newsgathering as a stringer cameraman for local news.

I watch Fox News to see the Right side of the daily issues.
Then we watch ABC, CBS,, and the PBS News Hour to see how the Left is reporting the major news stories.
Seeing both sides of a news stories makes me look I want to see how both sides slant the news. Is that a laughing matter to some critics who only watch MSNBC or CNN?
 
Check where I clicked on the choices before you ASSUME I watch CNN. Might help you sound a little less ignorant.

That's when you know you are on a VERY liberal forum.
Fox News crushes their viewership.

I don't watch any of them... borrowed words - "If you don't watch the news you are uninformed, if you do - you are misinformed"
