As much as I hate to admit it, CNN's coverage is an order of magnitude better than Fox's.

I thought this would be the case,remembering how they owned the airwaves during Gulf War I, but flipping through the stations last night, I found Fox to be better than the others. Lots of reporters in the field, new information came fast, no feigned drama and Shep was at the top of his game. The only criticism I have is their translator during the Sadaam speech was not as good as CNN's.
I was very pleased with their reporting and they're going to be the one I turn to first.

Fox News through the roof.

Don't know why I voted. I'm a homeless guy with no tv and no computer sitting in a public library and reeking of peepee.

When I was six, I wanted to be ________ when I grew up.
President
a fireman
a soldier
He-Man / She-Ra

a rock star
other

FoxNews... I checked out CNN but as soon as the warslut came on I felt sick ....went back to Fox.

Ammanpor is a commie hack. So transparently agenda driven and repulsive. She'll hurt CNN ratings in the USA

I like everything about Fox News except for the fact that the bottom one-third of the screen is obscured with CR@P!! Crawler, banner, terror alert status, stocks, whose speaking at the moment, the logo, news bites... It's ridiculous! If something is very important to me and it's on C-Span, I go there just so I can see what's going on. Watch Fox 95% of the time, though.

CNN, as they are always the first with breaking news. FOX news at night is the best though.

POll over, but I brought this amusing reply:

74% are watching Fox News? Jesus Christ, what is the world coming to? Are you serious? Do you actually think they are a real news station or something?!!? They suck! Watch CNN and read the newspaper like real people. JEEZ!

I can only take so many baby milk factory stories before I have to turn off CNN. However, if one believes CNN's spin, it'll only be a matter of days before every hospital, day care center and nursing home in Iraq has been pulverized.

I switch between FOX and MSNBC. FOX in on most of the time. I have to switch from FOX when Caffeinated Rita Crosby comes on touting her sources.
