The "CBS got duped" poll got me thinking...

What major network (CBS, ABC, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, FOX.. or???) do you PRIMARILY watch for your news? Interested to see what the most popular is.

I watch very little TV news. When I have time, I prefer Fox or PBS (strange choices, I'll admit). Since I'm in the bond market, I get news updates all day on Bloomberg, CNN, MSNBC, etc., so there is little I haven't already heard about when I get home. I read both NYT and WSJ on train on way into work for a bit more depth.

I watch Fox maybe 30% of the time and then I watch MSNBC quite a bit. I am a news junkie so I am jumping around quite a bit. I do not know why but I do end up on MSNBC more often than not -

Foxnews 90%

CNN/MSNBC 10% just so I make sure fox gives all sides.

Yes, I know they lean right, but they usually present all sides.

Otherwise the food network. Roker on the Road showed a West VA. original last night: The peperoni roll. Gonna try to make my own this weekend.

Hope everyone is having as good a day as me!!!!

Used to watch MSNBC pretty regularly but I don't have cable now so I read the New York Times and get news online from different places.

Wow, didn't think it would be so one sided for FOX.

Mainly Fox, but if I'm forced to watch Network news, it's NBC only. I haven't been able to stand Dan Rather since 1994 when he almost broke down crying when he had to annouce that the Republicans had taken control of both houses of Congress.

Jenning's also let's his personal (read: Canadian Big Grin ) feelings through too much.
