Choose THE BEST POLITICAL NEWS TEAM ON TELEVISION

You can't watch BBC news in the US?

pbs should be on there too but who cares cause the obv answer is MSNBC

no PBS, no credibility

individually, I gotta go with Halperin and Todd (obvs), but the best "BEST POLITICAL NEWS TEAM ON TELEVISION" at this point is CNN, I think. i can do without one or two of them, but they have such a healthy vibe compared to MSNBC, and less bullshit. Campbell Brown doesn't hurt. admittedly, i did work for them once upon a time, but they wouldn't have gotten my vote until recently.

CNN. I prefer at least a pretense of objectivity in my news.

That sockpuppet kid.

I can deal with the Newshour (and the BBC News they produce for US consumption). The rest of these networks are nearly unwatchable.

duuudes gabbs tell us abt yr cnn tenure!

traded a few tapes with wolf blitzer

que Dieu nous sauve

Univision FTW

i prefer to merely observe the babe arm's race between all these networks...

MSNBC duh

i don't get my news from there so i dont care about their objectivity

we get a 1/2-hr program nightly that is mildly useful for world news coverage (hourlong BBC World Service radio moreso), but is hardly the place to go for domestic political coverage or any comparison to wall-to-wall US cable talking heads.

Uh - the best fucking news team in the universe ever. The Daily Show.

CNN has wolf blitzer and larry king. In summary, CNN should go die in a fire.

I voted other, mainly because of aasif mandvi.

he reminds me of my friend neal, who made me "honorary chocolate" in college.

seriously though whether campbell brown is a trendsetter re: giving some worthless flack like tucker bounds the 1-2 on live tv, any points gained by having one or two competent individuals are revoked by keeping blitzer on the payroll. king, ok, I can kind of understand playing to the 7th-grade dropout crowd. Blitzer is a worthless, worthless, worthless, frankly insulting bag of rocks.
"Do we need the atmosphere to survive? You're in the Situation Room."
"Are facts the truth? You're in the Situation Room."

Larry King is not part of the political team; he is a separate universe.

I don't big-up Campbell Brown because of blogosphere-theatrics, and certainly not because of Dan Senor

Wolf Blitzer is the upper middle class Jewish Jim Lehrer

actually, all the best people on CNN don't work for CNN

honestly, any team w/ Chuck Todd on it wins, but I've just gotten a little tired of the rest of the NBC folks.

Chuck Todd and Norah O'Donnell do not a team make, so despite loving them with all my being I had to go with CNN.

john king is pretty good as a chuck todd jr on cnn

cnn doesn't have a maddow though

cnn can't afford a maddow. their dedication to mediocrity is a cashflow issue.

I don't big-up Campbell Brown because of blogosphere-theatrics

well to my mind that leaves 2 options that separate her from the rest of the herd of goats:

1. you would blap?
2. she blaps a bland hack?

Note that I went out of my way to not actually call you a bland hack

cnn has better mid-day anchors actually

they have a guy on during the day whose name i cannot remember (black guy) who is better than whichever faceless blonde does the msnbc mid-day stuff

all I need to know about CNN is how coop went out of his way to prove himself worthy of a field correspondent job and they immediately found a way to chain him to a desk so he could help carry the imperial crest of dishwater

for an all-star team i'd take maddow, todd, colbert, letterman, joy behar and diddy. and pat buchanan just to rile up the rest of them.

Wolf Blitzer is the upper middle class Jewish Jim Lehrer

all I need to know about gabbneb country is that it is a place where this sentence makes sense

pat buchanan brings heat

why would you take pat buchanan when biweekly glenn beck guest The Nuge is available?

nevermind nuge, i'd take glenn beck himself. but he'd be in a cage, naked.

and slavering.

(anyway the nuge will be busy in his new weekly hunting show with sarah palin. next week: ted 'n' sarah vs. bighorn rams in heat!)

cnn can't afford a maddow. their dedication to mediocrity is a cashflow issue

You think Blitzer and King make less than she does?

i chose other (PBS)

Uh - the best fucking news team in the universe ever. The Daily Show.
