A sorta poll on your thoughts regarding the media .....
With DU on Defcon 4 or 5 lately, I thought it better to avoid the poll format and just ask the question .....

This is actually not an all-media poll. Just the teevee outlets.

We all watch the media - well, most of us do, anyhow - and we all have our opinions. I'd like to know yours.

What outlet do you think comes closest to being honest and to representing things as they really are? (Okay, I know the answer ... they're all pretty bad ..... but who comes closest to being honest?)

CBS?

NBC?

ABC?

CNN?

MSNBC?

FOX?

Your local teevee newz?

And of course, the inevitable follow-on ........ why?

3. I watch CNN and MSNBC
And both are up and down. Aaron Brown, KO, and Anderson Cooper have done a good job, Chris Matthews and Wolf have done ok, and others have not so good (yes, I'm talking to you, Kyra Phillips)

4. I have seen some real journalism on ABC.
I am still in shock but I cannot deny it. I hope that it will continue.
