My biggest problem with Fox News is how much attention they pay to stupid stories. They really should be based out of Hollywood, because they'd generally much rather talk about Anna Nicole or Britney. Granted, MSNBC is pretty bad about that too, but I can usually at least get some discussion of something worthwhile on there (although its like listening to a DNC discussion). CNN can be good, although it seems every time I want to watch the news on CNN they're doing some 20 minute segment on something stupid.
I've gotten to the point where I enjoy getting news from CNBC, because they generally do it from a financial perspective, which means its not as dumbed down as other networks. Despite my dislike for how anti-administration Matthews is, I enjoy his non-Hardball show. I'm not sure what it comes on, but the other night it was a discussion about the Court with Rosen and another SCOTUS scholar. Thats the kind of stuff I'd like to see on a regular basis. I wish somebody would come out with an intelligent cable network, some sort of CNN/CSPAN/CNBC/History Channel/Public Television blend.
I can see what you're saying about NPR. I hate it because its so slanted, but they're generally a little better about some things than conservative talk radio. The problem with conservative radio is that the personalities are so over the top that the program loses legitimacy. I don't mind that they're extremely conservative, but I'd much rather hear someone like George Will or William Kristol, who could actually discuss policy without feeling the need to talk about how great their new book is every 10 seconds.
