When at home, where we get the Comedy Central channel, I find myself watching The Daily Show with Jon Stewart because they actually present balanced news. But nothing beats NewsHour with Jim Lehrer.

But their news personalities spent literally the whole day commenting and arguing about a few news headlines rather than actually reporting on the stories. They got even worse after they started trying to compete with FOX News, because they seemed to fail to realize that anyone who wanted what FOX news was providing could get it better directly from FOX and anyone still watching CNN obviously wanted something different. Now that I no longer watch cable news, I get more information in five minutes aggregated from newspapers online than I used to in five hours of television viewing. But the Discovery Channel is by far one of my favorite stops on cable, even though Dirty Jobs isn't the reason. I used to have CNN on while I worked.
