Poll question: If you HAD to watch a cable news network...
If you were forced to watch either CNN, Fox News, or MSNBC for twenty-four hours straight, which would you watch?

3. Hard to say...
haven't watched any of those in soooo long, I mean, obviously I would never watch FOX, MSNBC has Scarbourough, and CNN has Tucker Carlson...so, I would watch CNN 24/7, though it does get extremely repetitive. So CNN.

5. Of course, CNN has Carville and Begala to oppose Tucker.
Who does MSNBC have to oppose Scarborough?

6. News....
Most of the so-called "news" isn't really news. It's mostly fluff and not what I'd consider news...MSNBC does a good job when they get to hard core news....however, "Scarborough Country" and shows of that type are just a TV version of Rush Limbaugh and/or Sean Hannity (ever notice how they all seem to have same agenda every day). I pass on all of it.

Actually, I discovered Internet radio a few years ago and really enjoy listening to the news from all over the world...especially the news from Ireland (wonder why??) and the BBC.
