Think you just hit on why for the most part I don't like most national news except for Hume. I hate being told something I know isn't true after either watching the event or getting reports of the event from several different sources.

It is like watching someone give a speech and then being told what the person meant. That has always bugged me!

Heheh. It's 10% news and 90% entertainment.

O'Reilly does a sex-related story every show, puffs it out of proportion to justify the presentation.

You hit on the half-baked factual reporting. And, you know where to look for the facts (watch the event on C-SPAN, read the written record, or otherwise research the facts). So naturally, any news show will not hold up.

Hume and company have very good political commentary. So do Kudlow and Cramer. If you havn't heard Kudlow tear Chris Matthews a new a**, you ought to look for it. I caught one exchange last week, channel surfing, and was impressed. Kulow is succinct, and does not back down.

Fox's moring show is the best one on the market. What I mean by that is simply that is is the show that entertains me the best, and gets under my skin the least.

FR Rocks. This is the place to get news.
