News Program

#1 Postby Janice » Mon Apr 30, 2007 6:00 am

What is one news program on television that you will always avoid?

Me... Paula Zahn. I know when she comes on, she will repeat all the news that has already been discussed. She adds nothing to the news IMO.

There are some news programs I like to avoid altogether. The one I like to avoid the most is "60 Minutes", it's getting to be a bore after awhile (My apologies to other "60 Minutes" watchers). I'd take "America's Funniest Home Videos" over "60 Minutes" every Sunday.

Anything on Fox news, they really have no clue about unbiased reporting.

I wish we would just have two great news stations. One just for politics and the other for all other major news. I am sick of hearing politics all the time and wonder what else is going on in the US.

I avoid Fox and Friends. I find their antics to be childish. If I want clowns, I would go to the circus. Otherwise, any other news program is fair game.

Anything on FoxNews.
I'm trying to think of any of their programming that is actually a "news" program ( maybe Shepard Smith) as the majority are "opinion/commentary" programs portrayed as "news" with the lovely little "FOX NEWS ALERT" logo splashed across the screen.

I won't even peek at Hannity and Combs or O'Reily any more, as I fear I may do damage to my TV by throwing objects at them.

I won't watch the CBS or FOX local affiliates here for Houston/Galveston news. However, when I go to KY, I'll only watch the NBC affiliate.

As for the national cable news channels, I watch FOX most of the time, MSNBC on occasion, and CNN only if they're covering something live or breaking that the others aren't.

I watch the Local News only and totally avoid everything else-there's nothing the major "news" outlets have that I can't learn from the local news or online.

Same here.

I also HATE that show on msnbc called "countdown" w/Keith Olbermann. That guy is such a nerd, I can't stand anything that comes out of his mouth.

I love Olberman - he is hysterical, but I consider his show more "comedy & commentary" than "news".

As a news junkie - I watch some MSNBC, CNN, local news, and check at number of website news sources ( AP, BBC, CNN, MSNBC, Weather, and some more local ones.)

I agree, though, when the cable stations are harping on some sensational story like Anna Nicole Who Cares, or Scott Peterson, etc, I just flip right past them.
