Cable News Review

FOX is self-stroking lies most of the time - useless for truth
CNN seems either sclerotic or somehow wrapped in plastic
Current is iffy with Gov. Granholm better than I expected from her weird ad
And Keith the iffiest of all
CSPANs either interesting of deadly dull
Charlie Rose has the better guests as does Bill Moyers
MSNBC bounces among the same talking heads and the same guests and the same stories
Iffy like Current
PBS a bit blah
CNBC sort of FOX if managed by CNN
Democracy Now often interesting
BBC International sane and of some interest
All told not terrible but no sense of anyone having found a cutting edge for the future
The best advice is to branch out as Melissa Harris-Perry has urged to academics and other bright people to relieve us of predictable backscratching sessions
