Fox News gets repetitious real fast. After you’ve seen that box of weapons found in the hospital for the 20th time, an alternative is required. CNN? No way. That leaves MSNBC.

I had the same reaction, MSNBC is really more watchable for long periods of time if you are doing something else and half paying attention (what a ringing endorsement!)

Fox is a small operation. No world presence. They got whorealdo and one imbed I think.

I like Brit and Shawn and I can sometimes stomach O'reily. God bless em for getting some of the conservative view out there but when you are hungry for news ... they do not cut it.

They are not a big operation. Eventually, this should improve. If not, somebody needs to be canned.

Exactly. FNC's ticker headlines are often out of date, they often run the same 20-second video loops for an entire day, and most annoyingly they turn the sound up on those video loops while their analysts or reporters are talking. I really don't need to hear the boom of the cannon in the unrelated stock video half-drowning out Ollie while he is reporting from a helicopter squadron. Whoever does the video background production for FNC too often thinks that we are stupid 3 year olds fascinated by bright colors. With all the footage coming into them, is it really that hard to add just a little more variety and try and match the images to the subject being discussed? Why show daylight video from the green Kurdish mountains when discussing urban night skirmishes in Basrah?

Which is too bad, because FNC's personalities and analysts are the best overall. But all things considered, I'd say FNC and MSNBC are neck and neck for best war coverage so far.
