I love Rachel Maddow for politics, Amy Goodman (Democracy Now) for world events, and Anderson Cooper does a pretty good job of getting to the heart of big stories. <br /><br />But if I really want to know what's going on in the world I watch Jon Stewart. I think it's a sad commentary on our society that the only person willing to really tell the truth is a comedian!EcoCatLadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15704811319510740473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7685979597473858413.post-16130960966991067722011-06-25T07:45:58.950-06:002011-06-25T07:45:58.950-06:00I usually have the Today Show on for background no...I usually have the Today Show on for background noise when I get ready for work. It often amazes me how they have no transition between horrifying news stories and the fluff pieces. They just go from talking to parents whose child was murdered to "Up next, we bake a pie!!" in the bat of an eye. It seems wrong somehow.<br /><br />I also hate, hate, HATE when newscasters banter. But I digress....<br /><br />There is still one "news" show I still enjoy and watch regularly: The Sunday Morning Show on CBS. I love it, but it's not hard news, just human interest type pieces that are actually interesting.min hushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09460666548836420815noreply@blogger.com
