What is your favorite US independent news show (e.g. David Pakman Show, Young Turks, Humanist Report, etc.)?
As far as networks, Link TV, Free Speach, Al Jazeera, KCTS 9 and RT.... in that order. Back when John Stewart and Stephen Colbert had news programs, Comedy Central was in the top 3. Currently my favorite programs are Thom Hartmann and the Young Turks. Also NPR is always on when I am in my vehicle.
I don't like any of them. "News" always has an agenda. If I do anything, I'll listen to NPR or watch the PBS newshour if I'm near a set. Otherwise, I get my news from blogs. I also scan headlines of a few newspapers: New York Times, Washington Post, for example. One of my favorite news blogs is "Hacker News". It always has something interesting and relevant. I also check out the Drudge report for the lulz
