Well? What TV station do you watch the most for news?

I mostly watch the CBC, sometimes I watch CTV and RARELY I watch CNN.....

BBC News 24.

I'll very occasionally watch Sky News if the BBC isn't covering something I want to know about, but I try to avoid Murdoch news as much as possible.

Cw11.

CBC News and occassionally CP24 if I'm looking for local news.

For the internet, I use BBC, CBC, The Toronto Star, Digg, BoingBoing and NSG.

CNN, I'd consider watching BBC but unfortunately I don't get it. But I only turn to CNN a few times a week, my main news source is NSG.

If I'm going to watch news I'll watch ABC...World News Tonight is on right before Jeopardy, so I usually catch some of that.

Nice list, not a single non-Anglophone news source...

... anyhoo-ha, I watch Rapport (http://svt.se/urlfiles/rapport/rapport1930lordag.asx).

Man oh man are you in trouble. :eek:

Pff, I can read the link and ignore all the responses people choose to make. NS usually comes up with all the important stories, no need to go hunting myself.

P.S. : As you can see I'm in your head stealin your postz so you best be nice to me. ;)

There are people in the world that DON'T speak english!! :eek: unthinkable...

:p

I watch Rapport on SVT every now and then.

euronews FTW!

Usually I watch either local news channels or CNN, but usually my brother has the remote control, and that's why. He's usually flipping between the history channel and CNN.

local news channels

I didn't think you was over 80 :eek:

Huh?:confused: Usually I just watch it for the weather or something, since they talk about the weather every ten minutes.

my main news source is NSG.
Same. I don't like watching televised news, and anything important gets reported on here for discussion anyway.

Hmm...

If you were to construct such a list, then, what all would you put on it? Obviously BBC, CNN, France 24, and Al-Jizeera(I spelled that so incorrectly...) but what else?

I don't watch the news. It's so inefficient. Instead I use the internet and just read Al Jazeera or BBC because everything else I've seen seems pretty terrible.

When I'm living at uni I watch CNN International (which is infinitely better than CNN's domestic US channel from what I gather). When at home with more channels I watch Sky News Australia mainly, but I probably honestly watch more Fox. Not for news, but just to gawk at.

Aren't a lot of Al Jazeera's staff from the BBC?

Anyhoo, the only thing that resembles news that I watch on TV is The Dailey Show.

Internet for the rest.

None of the above. Non cable news here is a fucking joke, so I have to get news from the BBC through the internet.

I only have access to one, so it's Sky News by default.

Did you change your sig? it looks... purpler.

There's no e in Daily Show.

LIES!!

ABC, cause the NBC station in Philly is usually three days late on stories and CBS doesn't even try.

That, and World News Tonight is right before Jeopardy.

LIES!!

Good old Auntie

There's no e in LIES!!.
*believed you for a second*

LIES!!

I do not lie, at least not habitually. I will occasionally lie if I believe it to be the best course of action to protect someone, but such a course is rare at best, and this circumstance does not qualify in the least.

Yes, I know. I wasn't serious. My apologies for any misunderstanding...:)
I try to avoid smilies, but it appears people misunderstand me without them.

PBS news hour.

Of those listed, CBC. I get my news (if I even get it) from Global News (which isn't a news station but rather a station that has its own news show).

Ugh... how can you watch Global news?

Of course you weren't serious; that much was obvious. I simply like taking anything said in jest seriously and then addressing it as such, mainly because I used to do that all the time unintentionally, and I enjoy the odd reactions people give me when I do so.

Admittedly it can cause some tension at times, but on the whole it's fun for me.

It's comically biased!

So basically, it is what my parents watched.

I've been called a troll whilst doing that.

All right, well I'm glad I entertained you...

I've been called a troll whilst doing that.

It would be trollish if I were to make a thread about such things, or if I were to do it with every post. As I only do it occasionally, it's not really trollish, unless the mods say it is, in which case I would of course stop immediately.

I'm sorry...usually when I tell people that they get a laugh out of it to. You didn't?

No no, I'm not mad. Just... indifferent. :)

Channel Nine, I guess. Usually just the internet, though.

ARD, 2DF, phoenix

one's you never heard of outside of my nation

My main sources of news are NPR, the Daily Show, and NSG. Also Slashdot.

I watch FSC more than anything else.

Now then, now that your post is more honest...


:p

Well? What TV station do you watch the most for news?

I watch Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert.

fox news is pretty all-right. they do not cover the big issues enough though

drudge helps

Duh, I watch NBC. NBC is Conan's network. Conan is my hero.

I don't watch CNN because I don't have cable, and I don't watch the BBC because I don't think I'm not one to listen to our former overlords.

I totally watch Fox,

On cable here in HK I get BBC, CBS, CNN and Fox (among other crappy channels) and basically Fox is by far the most entertaining. I don't care if it's biased, in fact I enjoy it.

Frankly I can't stand any interviewer these days, since when was the interviewer entitled to opinions - it's not an interview, it's my vision versus yours - they're all so combative that there's rarely anything worth taking out from interviews.

So if they're just going to be for the sake of entertainment, then Fox does the entertainment best.

I like watching news I totally disagree with.

ARD, 2DF, phoenix
it's still ZDF, not 2DF :)

Mostly CH4 news, or the 6 news on RTE.

euronews FTW!
Yus!

Winnar!

Euronews is pretty legendary indeed. Helpful indeed for learning about the politics of the rest of Europe whilst it also covers the important stuff about the rest of the world.

That and No Comment is excellent - often since it's not covered in the news-y bit, you kind of have to guess what's going on, whih is sometimes quite nice.
