FOX is the best, but CNN and MSNBC are also doing a good job and I find myself switching around a lot, getting differnt angles, different camera shots, different sets of stories and events.
The real kudos go to whatever genius thought up the idea of embedded reporters. I think it really goes a long way towards making everybody's reporting a little more fair and balanced (though FOX is the best).

The genius was Victoria Clarke, the Pentagon spokeswoman that gives the press briefings.

"FOX is the best, but CNN and MSNBC are also doing a good job and I find myself switching around a lot, getting differnt angles, different camera shots, different sets of stories and events" I have to agree about MSNBC's Iraq coverage-very professional-with one exception, Keith Olbermann. This guy is so stupid I would almost prefer a toothache to listening to his dumb questions. For example, the night a missile landed in the Kuwait shopping center he asked the reporter on the scene if this would cause the Kuwait government to lessen their support for the war. The reporter delicately told the clueless Olbermann that since support for the war in Iraq was actually supported by a higher percentage of the Kuwait population then even in the US all the missile was likely to do is further piss off the Kuwaitis who already hate Saddam Hussein's guts. and by the way....isn't Keith Olbermann the same moron who once claimed that John Ashcroft reminded him of Heinrich Himmler?

" I think it really goes a long way towards making everybody's reporting a little more fair and balanced (though FOX is the best)." Absolutely! Nothing like a little dose of reality to adjust one's perspective.
