What news channel do you watch the most?
And, Do you really believe Fox is fair and balanced?

**merlin** · 07-21-2004, 09:44 AM

The daily show with Jon Stewart. And cartoon network. Discovery Channel too

Cartoon network? LOL Do they keep you alerted as to when Yogi and Boo Boo steal the pic -i -nic basket ? ;)

I like Jon Stewart as well, cause its on comedy central. Other than that, I read the paper, or google news...

I lean towards Pravda ... "The People's News is the Only News!"

or, as Yakov Smirnof would say - "In Russia we only had two TV Channels. Channel 1 was 24-hour Party Propaganda, and Channel 2 was a KGB agent yelling 'Turn back to Channel One immediately!'"

Actually, it's CNN in the morning, Rush for lunch, and ESPN at night.

So noone wants to answer the Fox question eh?

No news center is fair and balanced.

**merlin** · 07-21-2004, 08:04 PM

Yes, cartoon network.Why ? Like KiddTech said no news center is fair and balanced. It's ridiculous. I think that most of todays media is too powerful and we can do little to change the way it influences its audience. Lot of people are hypnotized by the talking box today. Don't get me wrong, Im not saying that people should not watch tv at all but it should be taken with a grain of salt...
And yes, I do watch channels other than cartoon network. Discovery and the learning channel have some interesting shows. Peace

I really only watch the news when I need to or somethingnoteworthy is going on. I go in cycles with it though, Ill be a devout watcher for awhile and then just stop for a few months.
I dont even watch much TV at all but when I do its usually some learning channel.. such as The Learning Channel, Discovery, History Channel, Biography Channel , Some Tech TV oh scuse me G4/Tech TV lol stuff like that. I do watch osome Disney , Nickelodian and sometimes Noggin ;)
