Really though, CNN + MSNBC on TV, for web I use Yahoo News as it combines many different sources which I like getting the different perspectives.

They have just started to show 'The Daily Show with Jon Stewart' here on a new channel called More 4. That is one funny show....don;t see much American satire here. Or in the US from what I recall.
I have generally stopped watching news programmes as they have become almost too tabloid like. Even the good ole BBC has started coming out with sensationalist shi*te that scares the uninformed and enrages people that are informed due to its innaccuracy (e.g Bird Flu stories....where have they all gone then?) . That said, I have the choice between:
BBC (probably still the most reliable)
ITV (no,no,no - dreadful - the epitomy of the trash tv news channel),
CNN International (not bad - not great - more informative on world events than CNN in the US or Headline news),
MSNBC (erm...not sure....seems ok from what I have seen),
EuroNews (not bad - too the point usually),
C4 News (usually pretty good),
SkyNews (OK but a bit too tabloidy....trashy)
Bloomburg (never lasted more than 2 minutes 'cos frankly they were boring)
Al-Jazeera (Erm....my Arabic isn't too hot so this isn;t on much...)
Fox News (Genius. Is TV news about death and destruction supposed to be this amusing....oh wait....they aren't joking??)
There are another few in German and French that there is little point tuning into given my language skills.
Satellite TV has a lot to answer for.
