The only thing worth watching on MSNBC is Imus and they butcher his show on a daily basis.
While I'm here, let me again protest the dreadful use of banners that all cable news networks are guilty of using.
While trying to watch a battle, the banner covers the action while the picture we get is of the sky.
Really maddening!

Personally, I think MSNBC has the best coverage. The one guy with the 3rd Infantry that was on the vehicle used to tow tanks is the best I have seen. It had a high-resolution camera that you could actually see things with. The other Sat-phone cameras are worthless. I never can actually see anything. I think their props are as good as CNN's and much better than Fox. CNN tends to get the news fastest followed by MSNBC. Fox is usually behind. You have to put up with the occasional leftist comment, but I have not detected a noticable slant.

I think MSNBC has the best coverage. I agree. The embed on M-88 tank recovery vehicle with the 3rd ID is David Bloom and he has been one of the best embed's. Dr. Bob Arnot has also filed interesting reports from the field.

I completely disagree. Fox has had the best coverage.

Peter Arnett????

Lester Holt has impressed me greatly since the war has been going on. Alex DeWitt needs to be shot. Arnett is a bore. But David Bloom has been way awesome to watch. MSNBC has been great. FOX right behind them...very closely. I think FOX is falling back a bit because their routine is stale. Shep,Dhue,Asman,Hume,Leventhal and their Pentagon and White House team..just slaughter the other networks. They just need to cover breaking news better and their choices on what are stories to stick with.
I have watched MSNBC more in the last 2 weeks than I have in the last 2 years. Having Donahue gone helps...A LOT.

The thing is that David Asman and I are friends and I respect him a lot.
