What station are you watching and why?

The choices...

MSNBC

CNN

FOX

Current TV

I have a DVR. I am watching MSNBC and CNN. I have a real good system in place which basically allows me to watch both stations and miss most if not all of the commercials.

that unless you're here in the UK when you go into the BBC News website you don't get our home page which is inaccessible outside of the UK. You get an amended/dodgy version.

I'll probably try to catch a portion of Hartmann's nightly show coming up in about an hour. FSTV has very few commercials, and none of the annoying kind.

They're also carried on about 200 cable channels. They are further to the left than MSNBC or Current. Here's their website:
