Favorite/Least Favorite News Show
Posted: Fri Jun 09, 2006 9:24 pm
I am just curious what you guys out there like to watch. Whether it be cable, network, or from an alternate news channel, I'm looking forward to your opinions.
Personally, I'm fond of the "O'Reilly Factor" and "Glenn Beck" on HNN. Of course, I am a conservative, so that may explain why. I like O'Reilly because he does bring fair-mindedness to the debate, he sometimes expresses his opinions, but never attacks the guest. Glenn Beck brings some humor to the conservative commentary shows, considering most are serious and dry. His main message is to say, about ultra-liberalism and other strange news, that, "hey, it's not normal!"
My least of favorites is by far the 2 main shows on MSNBC. Chris Matthews used to be a pretty neutral host, but it appears he has gotten extremely bitter over the last 5 years (figure why). His bias is about as obvious that MSNBC is failing as a cable news network. As for "Countdown with Keith Olberman", I don't mind the show much, but he's been busy with attacking Bill O'Reilly. O'Reilly first said that MSNBC should bring back Ted Donahue to boost the flunking ratings of MSNBC (or so I'm pretty sure that's the case), in a joking matter. I watched that episode and he said it with a light tone and a smile on his face. I didn't get the indication that he was serious, but Olberman took it personally, from what I've heard. I guess I'd have to hear his side of it before I make any assumptions about it. Does anybody hear watch Rita Cosby's show? I can't figure out how she got a job in news! She sounds like she has to force her words out. It's not a pretty thing to listen to. I don't even bother with CNN, so I can't really comment. Larry King has rarely been worth watching, in my opinion.
Does anybody get the channels like Free Speech TV, Link TV, and UCTV? I sometimes watch those shows in amusment. They appear to be wrong on almost anything, trying to paint Bush as Hitler, for example. It's so radical and to the left of the far-left it's ridiculous.
