Fellow Kossacks, I have a tough choice to make: Should I watch the Election Coverage on CNN or MSNBC?
Now for some of you this may be an easy choice, I know a lot of you hate CNN and think they're bias, but I don't feel that way. I feel they try to give each side equal time. There are some people on CNN I don't like. Lou Dobbs is a moron, Campbell Brown needs to take a long walk off a short pier, but for the most part I like the personalities.
But then there's MSNBC, which I've just recently discovered.
Update: Holy Jesus, over 100 comments? Wow, people really have strong feelings on this. I expected 20 or so.
Update 2: Upon Popular Request, I added a poll.
I've been watching CNN for my American news as long as I can remember, Every election since 1992 I've watched CNN's coverage, whenever there's a big story important to me, 9/11, The Columbia Disaster, Columbine, Hurricanes, Earthquakes, anything I turn to CNN. I have a familiarity with them that I find comforting. I know and like their people for the most part. (Well, not the Republicans)
But MSNBC has Keith, they have Rachel, they're on my side, they'll tell the stories I want to hear and share in the joy with me if we win this thing.
But then I don't really like Chris Matthews, well actually I don't like Hardball because I'm sick of interviewers constantly interrupting their interviewee before they can finish their answer and Matthews does this all the time, but when he's being interviewed or asking to provide viewpoint he's not so bad.
So there's my dilemma, we've got the most important election of my lifetime and I can't decide who to watch it on. On one hand we've got the old faithful, the trusted stall worth that has never steered me wrong. And on the other we've got the new, fresh up and comer. (to my eyes anyway) This sort of has a similarity to the election in that respect, except CNN hasn't voted with Fox News 90% of the time and sold their souls.
So, fellow Kossacks, I ask you to help me choose, please post your recommendations in the comments. I'm not going to make a poll because usually with diaries people just click the answer without reading the diary and I need convincing one way or the other.
Thanks for your time.
