doing the channel surf here also....CNN reports in the middle of the night were not all that bad, MSNBC also not bad. Female reporters on all stations seems to be doing more worrying than anything else. Just give me the facts not your feelings as you sit in the studio. Just wish FOX would have more info on some other units in the field, that s the only reason I surf, looking for more on the 101st

I wondered about that too. Evidently, each network could have only so many embedded reporters. Fox News and Sky News have done a great job. Chris Kline (sp) of Sky News does have the info on the northern action, but it has been purposefully very vague.

I do a little surfing from time to time, but Fox is really the best. My only gripe is that they junk up the screen so bad there's very little actual picture left to watch.

At the beginning of the war I watched Fox. I quickly switched to MSNBC because of the pictures and comprehensive coverage. Now I am watching CNN because they are covering the action. I hit the mute button a lot but I think they ar all over the place in the middle of the action.

I found Fox and MSNBC / NBC the best ...
channel surf mainly to see the different videos you get.

Fox had the best videos of the surrendering Iraqis.
Wish there was more.

CNN runner up mainly because of Rodgers w/ the 3 ID, other than their embedded reporters, CNN is worse than useless

CBS was gawdaful and so was/is NPR on the radio. They had a 'sojourners' commentator s(anti-war liberal plug) and a 'voices in the wilderness' person (pro-saddam plug). Gag me. Yet they cant find a retired colonel to cogitate like the other channels?

Meanwhile the Canadian outlet CBC had a commentator accuse American media of 'cheerleading' because some media types were saying "we" were going into Iraq. So, it's not just Peter Jennings disassociating himself from American action, eh?
