 Poll edited. :)

If I ever watch the news (which is scarce) it's the BBC. I'm too lazy to watch anything else and the rest just suck that I have. I mean seriously, Channel 4? Yawnarama. :yawn:

 FNC shouldn't even be on there.
It's nothing close to a news channel.
At least some of the others make a modest attempt to appear credible, but Fox doesn't even do that, unless you're gullible enough to fall for their "Fair and Balanced bullmullet. :rolleyes:
I don't know about news channels and programs outside the US, but very little that's offered on any of the US ones is actually news.
Most of it is pure political and corporate propaganda and misinformation, and what isn't is simply entertainment and distraction for those with nothing more substantial to focus on.
You can't trust any of the US ones, as they're all owned and answerable only to major corporations with so much power they don't even try to hide their bribes to the government.

If you want completely slanted coverage of the issues (the ones they actually talk about), and a whole lot of coverage of non-issues, and trying to make issues of many of those, and a whole hell of a lot of completely ignoring the real issues, go with one of those listed.
If not, find your own news from providers that don't have countless billions of dollars to gain from deceiving you.

A good start is the Independent Media Center. :)

 Eh.. I forgot to mention that if I ever do watch any news on TV, which is extremely rare, it's CNN.
FNC is amusing to watch, as a comedy, now and then, however.
As is MSNBC.
