MSNBC v. Comedy Central evening lineup

[Radical Activist]

Liberals basically have two places to go on cable if we want a viewpoint that isn't as full of shit as the rest of the corporate media. Maddow is the only cable TV news network personality I can stand to watch, but I prefer Stewart and Colbert. I also think it makes someone better informed if they limit their exposure to MSNBC's daytime propaganda.

Which nightly lineup do you prefer, based on whatever criteria you choose?

1. man,I don't get either channel-I'd watch one and record the other...tough choice

[Radical Activist]

12. I watch both online anyway.

Or when I'm visiting someone with cable. I miss a lot of shows.

[brewens]

2. Both. Thank God and praise be to Allah for DVR's. n/t

I don't know how to spell it and I'm to lazy to look it up.

8. +01

13. Too easy.

[bigwillq]

19. I watch Olbermann and Maddow more

But I like the Comedy Central lineup, as well.

4. I don't watch TV news at all.

The only TV I watch is sports, or, rarely, series such as the BSG remake and "Inspector Lewis."

18. I don't watch much either.

There are a few shows I catch on a regular basis. It's better that way.

5. TOSH.0!!!

[SoCalDem]

10. Ick.. I hate that show

I thought I would like it, but after watching a few times, I changed my mind..

[xultar]

15. Daniel is so cute!

[Gabi Hayes]

27. DOCKING!

[ZombieHorde]

28. That is a pretty funny show. nt

[silverweb]

6. All of them.

As soon as they're available on line, every night that they're on.

[SoCalDem]

9. all of the above.. We have 2 DVRs & can record 4 shows at once

:)

[Radical Activist]

14. OK, but which do you like better?

[SoCalDem]

17. Comedy Central

but only because I expect funny.. I don;t like Olbermann's "light" sections which comprise a LOT of his hour.

I would prefer a REAL newscast from him.

Rachel sometimes overdoes a story & if it's not something I am interested in, I switch to HouseHunters:)

[Radical Activist]

21. Me too.

Olbermann is great and I'm glad he's there doing his thing. But he's too over-dramatic for me. The other three are more energetic than NPR without being over the top.

11. here in Pacific time we do not have this conflict

and I watch them all most of the time

[JonLP24]

20. I think you're right

I watched Olbermann and Maddow back-to-back starting at 5pm (I think) while the first airing of TDS didn't start around 10 or 11pm. I don't have cable anymore so I don't quite remember the hours but I remember it in that order.

[JonLP24]

16. I guess a tie

I like Jon Stewart over Keith Olbermann. I like Maddow over Colbert.

I no longer have cable though but when I did I watched the first airing of Olbermann and Maddow and watched the second airing of The Daily Show and Colbert Report.

[Radical Activist]

23. If I had cable

that's what I would do. I only catch shows online. I'd be interested to see how many viewers do exactly what you did.

[PDittie]

22. Both.

They don't come on at the same time here, so I can watch (or record) them all.

[onehandle]

24. Difficult. All four provide valuable hard hitting news.

You heard me. I mean that.

[Radical Activist]

25. Of course.

[Ozymanithrax]

26. I watch Keith because that is all I'm allowed with kids in the house...

They use the TV from 6 - 7:30, and then it's bed time.

I watch Stewart and Colbert most nights. Kids and wife are asleep.

So for me, it isn't either or. Maddow is good, but her show doesn't fit my lifestyle.
