bradbrennan Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Do you have a preference, do you start your day/end your day with a specific program, a go to maybe for financial news or politics??? Shouldn't have to be a political issue, just what do you watch? Do any of our non U.S. members have any favorites? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLiquidGator Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 The ratings speak loud and clear. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Threads like this have a history, on every forum everywhere ever, of going horrible. No pointing any fingers whatsoever but kept as a discussion regarding TV watching preferences, grand. Personal attacks or "all your side are eejits" type stuff and the thread won't last. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradbrennan Posted June 13, 2014 Author Share Posted June 13, 2014 I'm not talking ratings, just what do you watch if you watch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stillinger Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Both are wretched, but one actually pretends to care/know about science and one thinks dinosaurs lived with humans. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srbbones Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Both are wretched, but one actually pretends to care/know about science and one thinks dinosaurs lived with humans. Already a bad start. If one person on a network says something, that doesn't mean all say it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBL Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Isn't this just a roundabout way of talking about/calling out US political preferences? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradbrennan Posted June 13, 2014 Author Share Posted June 13, 2014 Of course, I suppose what we view does say something about us...I honestly try to watch a little of both to get both sides. A little Imus In The Morning, wife get's up and she wants Today Show, during elections might be more Morning Joe. I'll take O'Reilly over Hannity, usually catch Chris Wallace and Meet The Press on Sunday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dowjr1 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I used to think I could date a gal with different political tastes...but no longer. I came to realize your political views are a reflection of your values. Different politics...different values. So now I am happily married to a nice conservative gal and all is well. SO that would make me someone who watches a variety of programs but I do record O'Reilly and Megan Kelly each day. I don't always watch them but I record them. That said, the other networks/channels have some good people on who aren't kooks. I just think you have to be cognizant of what/who you are watching...not just hear something and take it as fact just bc they said it on TV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post CaptainQuintero Posted June 13, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted June 13, 2014 I've seen bits of both, neither seem to care much about facts or real news from what I saw; lots of bright flashy colours, opinion and 'infotainment'. It's not a US bash by the way, the state of journalism and mainstream media today across the world is downright worrying 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

potpest Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I prefer vice and real time with Bill Maher; at least you know your getting facts over fiction 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sactochris Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I watch them both. It's usually MSNBC during the day and the Fox gang in the evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maplepie Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 for every 1h of RT, I dedicate 15 or so min to fox. Keeps me nonpartisan (or bipartisan). Or just watch the CBC and read the voice of the people: YouTube comments Sent from my Q10 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul3 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Neither are news, both are entertainment based on opinion. That said, I could put both on mute and watch the eye candy they put on camera. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sw15825 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Not much of either. Is it really news? Or propaganda? I say the latter they plant all these seeds that many blindly accept as fact. Then they argue or gossip about how they are right and the other wrong. Even CNN Is heading this direction, with some less political propoganda. It is a sickening show of how u.s. govt. Is running today or should I say not running. Dont get me wrong, I LOVE my country but am so disappointed in what is going on in our govt. today. News should just be that. If you mute your tv you can watch the crawler on the screen or get news feeds to your devices minus the biased opinions and seeds of fear, gloom and doom.

Dozerhead Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 How about neither? I think cable news is a waste of time. But, hey, watch what you like and smoke what you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptrthgr8 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 They're both terrible. I try to avoid getting my news from "news" channels anyhow. But Fox does have the better looking ladies. No doubt about that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stogieluver Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I'm as conservative as they come. Used to watch Fox exclusively. But since this last election, I haven't watched any network news. Period. It's all bullshit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
