Why no Fox News Channel? There must be some sinister purpose if these are our only selections. I get more satisfaction from my Battlestar Galactica DVDs than these "news" outlets.
Funny my browser does not show Fox as an option. I will have to report this bias to NewsBusters.

This is the second NB poll in the past few days that makes no sense to me. Why would I choose one of those channels? And why would I select a "prefered" Democratic candidate?
None of the above -- twice!

FOX NEWS is the only channel I watch, except for CNN Headline News so I can catch Glenn Beck's show.
Otherwise sometimes I will watch the networks or other cable "news" channels just for a laugh or to shake my head in amazement at the lies and propaganda being spewed forth.

Spaceman, hahaha, we only read the obits. alittle cnbc for the
market news.we flip to pmsnbc to laugh at ober-idiot. thats it, oh, we
watch American Idol.
The formats, including that of the missing FOX, are all very predictable. Shouting, screaming, tabloid trashy. I must say each net has worked hard at having great looking babes with really short skirts. The award for best babes with the shortest skirts still goes to FOX. But all the rest is so predictable . . . . yawn.

FOX is tops ! I look forward to watching FOX and say "aaahhh shut up Alan". Even my 15 year old gets into it when I ask what he thinks. And he says "Shut up Alan".
Well, for the preferred news channel I also either write in Fox News or vote NOTA.
And if my newspaper poll were to make it I yet again would proudly vote NOTA or else write in The Washington Times! And just as others have aptly pointed out that those are not news channels, these are likewise not newspapers. These are left wing propaganda periodicals.
I'm not voting in this one. I watch Fox. Even a "none of the above" would have worked if you didn't want to list FNC. Bloomberg isn't an option on Dish Network, is it?
“Government does not solve problems; it subsidizes them.” Ronald Reagan
I watch FNC and the Food Network most of the time. Except on Tuesday nights when I watch A & E for "Dog the Bounty Hunter" because he's always tooling around Waipahu looking for criminals and West Loch Estates is the next neighborhood over in Ewa Beach. You know when I lived there I dogged the Dog because it made Hawaii look really crummy.
I'm a Fox Watcher, despite their new lean to the Left by a few of their usually straight news reporters.

September 12, 2007 - 07:19 ET by dscottI see you have been making the point of biased polls and more importantly the method of "de-selection" used by the MSM and their allies.
And people wonder why Katie Couric can spend more air time on a parrot than Hsu's political money laundering for the Clintons...
dscott's postulate: The degree to which someone exaggerates or deceives is inversely proportional to the merit of the advocated position.

Other than that, I don't watch the tabloid cable "news" stations (including Fox), OR the Broadcast News.

I don't watch those Cable news....
September 11, 2007 - 16:23 ET by JayTeeI DO watch NB comments on what's going on, on those channels.
I DO watch Fox cable, and connect with Fox news on the Web, and occaisionally local news TV briefly, but never for a solid hour.
I DO listen to Radio news, and some of the Radio Talk shows.
The Alpha Bet channels don't need my Poll numbers, or just put me down for Zero.
I DO read the Wall Street Journal.
