Which network anchor of the big 3 do you prefer to watch?

[U2democrat]

I'm just curious. Who do you watch?











I personally Brian Williams. (He fills up my iPod too ) His blog is absolutely FASCINATING, I highly recommend it to everyone here so you can know how and why he makes decisions on certain news stories, plus other random tidbits. www.dailynightly.msnbc.com He's also very humorous, if you ever catch him on Conan or the Daily Show he's an absolute stitch. Sometimes he allows his humor get through into the broadcast. I guess you have to be an avid viewer to notice. He's been a great successor to Brokaw, IMO.

I don't watch the network news that often, but I'd say my preference is Charles Gibson (he's still Charlie to me). I like him-he's down to earth and real. I have always watched ABC News too, it's just my preference.

I tried to watch Katie but I just didn't like the format and certain things bugged me-like Katie sitting on the desk Maybe now it will be better with a new producer. I'll try it again. They need to just have her deliver the news and not make it like the Today show.

ABC-Charles Gibson

NBC-Brian Williams


with a tivo and dvr

I fast forward through (some segments) but watch both of them in about 35 minutes

Prefer Charles Gibson.

Katie Couric is a disgrace. She's absolutely awful, what a terrible "first woman" to represent us.

But I don't really like any of the 3 networks. I mainly watch the BBC and CBC with MSNBC thrown in.

 

[Justin24]

Sean Hannity kidding. I dont watch news that much. To much bad news never anything good.

 

[deep]

To much bad news never anything good.

yeah

it is much easier and faster to seek it out on the web

and post it, too.

 

[coemgen]

I don't watch network news.

 

[martha]

I don't watch network news.

ditto

 

[Liesje]

I don't watch network news.

I don't either. I usually watch the local network evening news, but not the national news with these anchors. There's only so many hours of news (plus news sites and blog reading during the day) I can stomach.

Brian Williams is nice, but not for reasons having anything to do with news anchoring...

 

[sulawesigirl4]

Jon Stewart.

 

[tiny dancer]

NBC, but I prefer to watch CNN or MSNBC.

 

[Pearl]

I usually watch cable news, but if I do watch the networks, it will be Charles Gibson

 

[U2democrat]

Brian is currently on the cover of Men's Vogue. It's a very insightful article on him, and some scary stuff regarding Bush.

 

[cruzila]

Brian Williams

 

[verte76]

I don't watch television.

 

[WinnieThePoo]

i watch comedy central late evening stuff ,
better laugh throu ...tears

 

[onebloodonelife]

I've always been an ABC person, but have stopped watching regularly since Peter Jennings passed away

Otherwise, I tend to watch Anderson Cooper

 

[Canadiens1131]

BBC World Service, bitches.

 

[redhotswami]

i get my news from BBC. but, since i just so happened to catch some nightly news last night (one of there reporters is in Sudan, I was hooked!) so I voted for BW.

 

[Ormus]

Yeah, I'm going to be the oddball here, but I like Katie Couric the most of the three. I think this has to do with the fact that I work in news and I'm jaded, so I like that her stories are much less histrionic than the other two.

Luckily, I live near Canada and get CBC, so that would be my vote if it were an option. Long stories, no tabloid-style exaggeration!

 

[trevster2k]

I can't tell if it's the news or Extra or Entertainment Tonight so I stick to CBC and BBC. So Peter Mansbridge and Katy Kay with the odd visit to CTV to watch Lloyd Robertson.

I get a kick out of watching John Roberts on CNN who used to be one of Canada's original Muchmusic VJs, JD Roberts.

With Erica Ehm, another one of our original VJs who got a pic with this dude

 

[Axver]

This poll needs a fourth option for Australians: SBS - Mary Kostakidis.

 

[Diane L]

Brian Williams.

But my favorite news guy is Keith Olbermann. He should be the CBS anchorperson instead of Katie Couric.

 

[U2democrat]

If someone wants to do a seperate poll for other news anchors go ahead, I was just curious about the main three. I know there are others people like as well.

Same here. My parents and I always watched ABC news while we ate dinner or right after dinner. I still watch it while I'm down there, but mostly I prefer to read news on my own.

That reminds me, I picked up a copy of Anderson Cooper's memoir last summer and haven't gotten around to reading it yet
