I used to watch Fox, thenbecame tired of O'reilly Factor and all the rest, went back to having cnn on durng the day and switch over to fox once in awhile to make sure I am getting the whole story.
Glenn Beck has allot of doom and gloom, but he does make good points and talks about things that really effect the country, not as much fluff as other shows, though I still dvr soI can skip through some of the political crap, tired of Obama and Mccain, wish we could get this election over with, thank god the Hillary Obama crap is done. Beck still talks about the border, 2nd amendment, our wars, energy crisis, and what affects the ordinary citizen.
Most of these other news shows talk about Obama and Mcains wifes, preachers, flag pins, clothing, backdrop durring speaches, ways to take what they say out of context, who miss spoke or shaded the truth today, were they went to schoolfor 2nd grade, what color their piss is, who is more like GW, who's a better American, which multi millionair is the least elite, etc....etc.....I am all for getting to know who our next president is, but I wish they would spend as much time talking about the things that really effect this country and its citizens,a they do discussing the fluff.

I just wanted to get a feel for what other like minded outdoorsmen watch to get their fill of the News.

You should check out Bill Cunningham on AM 700 Cincinnatti. It will make lots of folks on HNI seem pretty tame.

Faux and CNN .. and read 5 newspapers a day most of which unfortunately espouse liberal values.

TV news is crap. I read the online versions of about a dozen national and foreign papers, and search for articles when I get a bug in my ear about something that isn't getting mainstream coverage.

Fox news is heavy republican Bias, best is CNN, they are Indipendent, more truth.

but boring as hell. i can handle Fox because they entertain me, but at the same time i am smart enough to separate the wheat from the chaff in terms of news spin.

CNN has been utter garbage for some time now. So much talk, so little news...

I watch/read news from all points of view. I even watch Links T.V. world news as well as Mosaic news. I like to get the point of view from all sides. It helps me make up my own mind about what I believe. I can get a right lean from one, then get a left lean from another and use the info to formulate my own oppinion.
