I haven't watched TV news (other than for local severe weather related updates) in years.

I rarely watch any TV but especially the "news" BBC America is about the only one I'll watch for news. The American Networks have proven to be liars and manipulators to me

Just for the weather and traffic. It is mostly local junk news anyway.

I just watch Fox News. But when I discuss the issues of the day with my co-workers they act like I have no idea what I am talking about and they have not heard a lot of the "news" that I talk about. So, I research what I saw on Fox and it turns out to be load of BS.

Oh well Obama is a secret Muslim! Palin 2012!

I remember watching Howard K. Smith on ABC, and John Cameron Swazey on NBC, but not too much since then. I prefer news rather than biased opinion.

They lie and as we finding out, so do the cable networks, as does the GOVT OWNED and OPERATED NPR, PBS, they are all IDEOLOGUES...I gather what I can by bits and pieces and being an EXPERT on HUMAN ability to lie, I can spot questionable lead-ins and what is or isn't the truth, or should be questioned deeper. Not one of these news agencies speak a whole truth, I find internet cable news agencies to be a greater help, a closer to a truer spoken news..

People who watch ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, and so forth are like those people who go on stage to become hypnotized. Your eyes are getting heavy you feel sleepy so sleepy. Now get up and vote Obama and get your check. Now repeat back to me. O.K. now when you open your eyes you will feel refreshed and act without thinking just like a true progressive now 1 2 3 wake up.

Yes

but it's just to see what they aren't saying or talking about, and sometimes to see how they all trip over eachother cheering on their home team. Bill O' is my fave, some of the acusations he makes are laughable, and some are downright dirty and scary, Perfect instance was when he was talking about the 17 yr old that got raped and beaten. His response was something like... well she was wearing a mini skirt and a tube top...

wtf?

I do watch most of the networks with the exception of MSNBC which I don't need to watch to know they are just a public relations firm for the White House.

As for the other networks, they still tow the line for the President so they won't make him mad and get cut out of the loop. Of course as you can see from the ratings, Americans have no doubt about the integrity of these networks.

Occasionally I'll catch a few minutes in the morning for any Earth-shattering local happenings and the weather but that's about it.
I couldn't even name an active anchor much less match them up with the correct channel.

Not even close.
I'll begin with the indisputable and relatively agreed upon details from various sources then start weeding out the thorns and icing sprinkles.

See, I seriously doubt Jack & Jill were up there to fetch a pail of water and probably had a hard time explaining why they didn't just go down to the stream.

NBC, ABC and CBS are all Left Wing Democrat Lamestream media now. They are not relevant in day to day events. Even the Yahoo Internet, MSLSD cable and CNN cable is Left wing now. Talk radio news and FOX News are reality driven.
