Definitely agree. But at least I don't have to read that section. Haha. If you are watching "news" on television that is likely to be all you hear.

Also forgot to mention KCRW/NPR. Thats the only radio station worth listening to in this part of the country.

Now that's a unique combo!

I don't have cable, so I don't catch a lot of cable news, but I'm well aware of both! I do enjoy some Maddow clips online.

I'm curious...do you watch both to get views/interpretations of events from both sides (loosely meaning far right and left respectively)? Or do your views fall somewhere in between both (given that they both have pretty opposing editorial and political agendas)?

Not meant to be a leading or loaded question...I'm just curious. :)

A BBC feed (like the one Firefox comes with), and the Huffington Post. I'll occasionally watch cable news.

BBC website. Occasionally NPR when I catch it.

US cable news is unwatchably terrible (Fox, MSNBC, and slightly less bad CNN). It's not news. Just a way to sell advertising space by getting people amped over some nonsense. IMHO.
