CNN or Fox ? Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

A poll for Americans, just to know what source has the most impact on 'Poly's Yanks :

Where do you get your live information on Iraq from ? CNN, Fox, both, other networks, or mostly radio ?

Since Foxnews is hardly competing with CNN outside the US (if at all, I don't know), I'd ask non-Americans not to vote, please.

As far as I know, FOX pulled its people out of baghdad while CNN stayed: so I think their pics will be fresher, plus I can't stand FOX, so i am lucky.

So sad though, that MSNBC's riveting "deadline countdown clock" is gone...

I get *all* my info from innuendo- and rumor-filled Web sites, and then print it with big, bold headlines in our newspaper.

Gatekeeper














Naw! I actually get it from the raw news wires at work and, when at home, from CNN, certain Web sites and a bit of FOX.

Fox isn't that bad.

At least they don't spend 30 minutes talking about anti-war protests.

But Fox is heavily biased. CNN is only slightly liberal. I give them credit for showing the pro-U.S.A rallies in Atlanta.

Christ on a crutch, have you actually been watching both networks?!

CNN: "We cautiously, soberly, and mostly unquestioningly support the President and this war"

FOX: "We openly, rabidly, hysterically and of course unquestioningly support the President and this war"

Two extremes. Riiiiiiight.

edit: To answer the question, I'll be relying on BBC World for information, but occasionally tuning in to CNN and FOX out of a kind of sociological curiosity.
