Which news channel do you watch on TV?

[sage2021]

FOX NEWS CHANNEL

CNN

MSNBC

Mostly Fox News Channel. Although Fox is not without its' biases, those biases are more or less in sync with my own. To be sure, one needs to be aware of those - and one's own - biases, it does not invalidate the quality of the journalism on Fox.

Furthermore, such biases will be increasingly the norm. Journalism when the nation was founded in the 18th century was overwhelmingly biased. Most newssheets were party political sheets and carried a very definite viewpoint.

The idea of "unbiased journalism" really only developed with the mass media technologies of the 19th century. First with mass publications and then with movies - first silent then talkies, especially newsreels. Then with radio and finally television.

These technologies were open to large mass audiences and therefore, to be competitive. although human nature being what it is bias was not totally eliminated, the need to appeal to a diverse audience created the idea of "unbiased objective journalism." The irony being that with the advent of the computer, the internet, and finally the i-phone, algorithms that could target specific audiences aimed at the readers/listeners/viewers biases has made a more biased journalism the norm once more.

In effect, media has come full circle and in many ways Fox was the first - in the early days of the new technologies - to catch this wave. This being fortunate as it has allowed Fox to strike a better balance than other media. (Which is also why, by the way, Fox News is, by the ratings, now the number one news media.)

Plus, the Fox talk shows are really of high quality and do, for the most part, offer a diversity of viewpoints. See also "The Five" which, to be fair, is dominated by conservative commentators, but includes more liberal thinkers like Jessica Tarlov and Harold Ford, Jr.

In addition, Fox's straight news programs - as opposed to its' opinion and talk shows - tend to be pretty objective. See also Brett Baier, who is a very solid journalist, on the network's "Special Report" evening news at 6:00 P. M. Eastern time.

Put is all together, and Fox is my choice. From time to time I will catch the other networks, but on Fox is, by far, most in line with my own viewpoints and yet a source of high quality and generally objective journalism.

i used to watch all 3 on fox i mean fox quoted others n responded. my fave was judge jeanine but she shoulda written the interview, started reading democrat nonsense n point out "as you see it isn't answering the question. " so then she should stop but didn't so i STOPPED

I had it filtered down to British world news. American news is never neutral. Even then though I tired of it. I get things filtered through friends.

[FunkyMonkee]

I don't have t. v. but, online, I watch Fox.
Who told you CNN and MSNBC were news channels?
So far, the stats of this question tell you just how stupid most of the people here are!

[FunkyMonkee]

At least they tell most of the truth.

[FunkyMonkee]

That wasn't meant to go here.

[David94358]

Non of them.. watch a little WGN in the morning but really not that much anymore, the news really isn't very reliable anymore so what's the point?

[AviatorTom]

I get my news online. Occasionally, I'll watch FOX or CNN, no preference, both are biased, one right and one left. I rarely watch MSNBC, way too radical left to provide legitimate news.

I watch Fox but I have been watching NewsMax too. Fox is not the same since Tucker was fired.

[sage2021]

@exitseven
I didn't really care that much for Tucker. I used to call his news scare me news. He would always tell these horrific stories about things and then say "Is this going to happen to YOU? Are they coming to YOUR neighborhood next?" stuff like that. He would scare me since I was living by myself and made me feel like the Boogeyman was going to find me and something horrible would happen to me.
🤷🏼‍♀️

[FunkyMonkee]

At least they tell most of the truth.

[exitseven]

Tucker was the best. I only watch him once in a while if I can find him online.

[FunkyMonkee]

I used to watch him every night, when we still had tv. Also Steve Hilton, Trey Gowdy, Judge Janine, Laura Ingraham and Greg Gutfeld. The Five didn't exist, yet.

[exitseven]

@FunkyMonkee Wow that was a long time ago.

[FunkyMonkee]

4.5 years.

[ManOnFire]

Definitely not FOX or MSNBC. I do watch CNN here and there, but most news I watch is from News Nation, WION, BBC, or South China Post.

[Anonymous]

I refuse to watch ANY news on TV. The news source I trust the most is TruNews/Faith & Values with Rick Wiles. They also usually have a Bible segment called Morning Manna.

[Kaneki05]

There is no purpose to watching TV nvm news lol.

[docster]

Newsmax,
The Tom Laipply Podcast on CTN,
The Rodney Howard-Browne News Update.

[Redstang88]

Mainstream news is just professional bullshit. If something important happens I figure someone will tell me

[OtterMan68]

None of the above. I do watch CNBC, which is mostly financial news, but they do delve into politics and other issues. I get most of my news from various news outlets online sites.

[RedInnocent69]

Everything but Fox, self-described in legal filings as being entertainment, not news. Believe it or not, Al Jazeera is probably closer to what the Founding Fathers envisaged as a free press.

[AngryCarl]

UK here. I don't watch news on TV, I get all my news online now. I still use the BBC website but I don't trust them on anything political. Too my political appointments to the management board.
