CNN or Fox ?
A poll for Americans, just to know what source has the most impact on 'Poly's Yanks :
Where do you get your live information on Iraq from ? CNN, Fox, both, other networks, or mostly radio ?
Since Foxnews is hardly competing with CNN outside the US (if at all, I don't know), I'd ask non-Americans not to vote, please.

BTW, I do not intend to prove anything with this poll, nor that I have a point. I am simply wondering, and I just love polls

As far as I know, FOX pulled its people out of baghdad while CNN stayed: so I think their pics will be fresher, plus I can't stand FOX, so i am lucky.
So sad though, that MSNBC's riveting "deadline countdown clock" is gone...

I watch them both, cause theyre both pretty biased. Once I get the two extremes, I can extrapolate the truth.

Just a wild guess MOBIUS, but that's what the "other networks" option was for....

Yeah, but that option wouldn't show the motivation behind my choice...

I voted banana, seeing as I'm not a Yank.
In Australia, the commercial networks just carry CNN footage.
(And where's the mostly Apolyton option?)

Fox News has been pulling broadcasts from Sky News. So it has Baghdad coverage, sort of...

CNN. I always liked them, no matter of their leaning. They have very interesting pundits.

I get *all* my info from innuendo- and rumor-filled Web sites, and then print it with big, bold headlines in our newspaper.
Gatekeeper
Naw! I actually get it from the raw news wires at work and, when at home, from CNN, certain Web sites and a bit of FOX.

Fox isn't that bad.
At least they don't spend 30 minutes talking about anti-war protests.
But Fox is heavily biased. CNN is only slightly liberal. I give them credit for showing the pro-U.S.A rallies in Atlanta.

Christ on a crutch, have you actually been watching both networks?!
CNN: "We cautiously, soberly, and mostly unquestioningly support the President and this war"
FOX: "We openly, rabidly, hysterically and of course unquestioningly support the President and this war"
Two extremes. Riiiiiiight. 
edit: To answer the question, I'll be relying on BBC World for information, but occasionally tuning in to CNN and FOX out of a kind of sociological curiosity.
