My inclination is to go to PBS, but I don't know how current their info is....anyone got preferences on the lesser of the evils of the networks?

5. Hey same prob with me. I'm going with MSNBC internet stream....
Link: http://blinkotv.com/ (in the green dropdown select MSNBC)

For basic cable i would choose, hmmm, NBC just because of the visuals and do-dats. But MSNBC stream for Keith and Mathews.

8. Forget ABC and CBS!
Edited on Tue Nov-04-08 04:53 PM by danagsk8
ABC because they wouldn't preempt Pushing Daisies for the Obama "infomercial". :grr:

CBS because of Kutie Couric. :mad:
