It's not the only channel to watch; it's just far superior to the rest. I really don't care about FOXNEWS' reporting of local stories in Atlanta or those God-forsaken missing person accounts. That stuff just goes past me. I don't care about it; I dont' remember the factual details of any of them.
I don't watch either channel at 9:00; I've never liked Susteren, and Scarborough is trying too hard to be like Chris Matthews. He's almost a parody.
I watch hockey in March and April; it's nearly the playoffs!
But you know what..if they're screwing up the local stories, we have to be cautious about the bigones too. They are my primary 'national' news station..but over the past 3-4 weeks, I've been more cautious when listening to their reporting.
