WVUforREDSKINS Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 I've noticed a trend on ES. Many liberals watch FoxNews and we have lots of conservatives who watch MSNBC/CNN. Personally, I watch more foxnews than anything else. I like to hear what the other side is saying. I know what my side is saying most of the time. I guess its a perspective thing. Also, MSNBC and CNN are boring. Why? Why do we watch biased news that where we don't like or agree with most of the people they have on? So, im interested in what the poll will say. And I also wonder how reflective this is of the general population. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigMike619 Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 damnit..i picked liberal but i meant conservative. i still watch a lot of MSNBC and CNN until they get on to the shows like "countdown" or "larry king live". I just like news reporting and not shows where it is one person who sits up there and yaks on. oh yeah, and I would like to personally make Nancy Grace cry while she packs up her desk and leaves the CNN offices. stupid *****.

Zguy28 Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 I'm a social conservative and I watch MSNBC most of the time (except Olbermann; he's a hack and makes me want to stick pencils through my eardrums). CNN and fox only occasionally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVUforREDSKINS Posted August 30, 2008 Author Share Posted August 30, 2008 Nancy Grace can burn in hell. I think the whole board knows you are conservative MIke The best news source (non TV) that I have ever read is a magazine called The Economist. My friend had a subscription and I was reading a lil bit of it. Pretty straight forward and well written. I think it is British. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baculus Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Google News! I actually do not watch any TV news at all. except for some C-SPAN (which isn't really a news program, I suppose). I tend to read online articles when I am interested on a news story, and often will use Google to read the first few pages of news on a subject. With today's modern online media, I think it is the best way to seek out divergent angles and opinions on subjects. Actually, to be honest, for me, ES has become a pretty good source for up-to-date subjects and will often mirror the hot topic of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ax Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Couldn't find the... I'm Independent, And I Watch All Available News I Stumble Upon. Because, they're all equally full of ****, and marginally informative, at the same time. Then, I run all the information through my personal bull**** meter, apply common sense logic and probability to the subject, and usually come closer to the truth than the one sided observations dished out by any and all of the biased, media sources.

Smoot Point Really Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 I flip the channels... I'm mostly on CNN and Fox... I also "noogle" a lot (Google News) and Tailgate... My bookmarks on my IPhone lately are: Drudge, WaPo, Noogle, Real Clear Politics, Rasmussen, Electoral-Vote, National Review, Little Green Footballs and NoQuarter (just because I bookmarked it based on the whole "whitey-tape" bs)...

Special K Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 I'm a conservative, and I primarily watch Fox News. But I'll watch CNN and MSNBC occasionally to see what more liberal media outlet pundits are saying. However, for my news on health care, I primarily read journal articles.
