Would anyone recommend a news channel
that a person could watch other than the "Obama Channel", or as some call it, MSNBC. It is getting a little stale. And please not Fax. I hate to clean up vomit.

2. Turn off the TV, we did
They are all worthless, except for BBC which gives "real" war news.

If you are looking for a pro-McCain channel, I suggest Fox, CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, and most shows on MSNBC.

7. Maybe Hillary should start her own news channel.
Then she can continue her dead campaign without the burden of reality that we see on MSNBC.

9. none of them. bbc international if you get it is about the only thing approaching
real news. I think that is one of the reasons the thugs want control of the internet. we have access to news from everywhere in the world at our fingertips, don't have to listen to the propoganda from the msm.
