Default Which TV news do you watch for coverage of Iraq?

Which television news station do you choose first for coverage of the war in Iraq?

CNN....all war, all the time!!

Of course, if you want to hear how wonderful the war is, how great GW is, how horrible the Dixie Chicks are, and how poor of an American you are if you don't support the President verbatim, then just turn to Fox News!!

I don't know if it is a nightly affair or not, but C-SPAN last night had Canadian news, followed by the BBC. Fascinating getting the different (meaning, not controlled by US government) views on what is going on. The Canadian broadcast talked about a study done by {url=http://www.fair.org]Fairness and Accuracy In Reporting{/url] which showed a definite media lean on the war. Guess what? It wasn't a liberal one. Very interesting read, and the link is on the front page of their website.

We don't watch any of the coverage while the kids are awake or in the room. We go to great lengths to explain to our 5 year old what is going on and why, but he doesn't need to see those images on TV, as it's hard for a little one to understand how far away "the other side of the world" is.

I have been watching MSNBC and CNN. What is the deal with the CNN website? If you want to watch any of the video clips, you have to subscribe at $9.95 a month.

CNN, NBC, and a fair dose of NPR, which is carrying the BBC feed.

While at work, NPR. CNN at home.

Fox News - Somewhat fair and balanced!
