I don't watch a ton of news shows and prefer Lehrer/PBS.

The news is the news. The difference between networks is the "analysis" portion of their shows. This is where CNN will put on any former Bush Administration staffer who will say anything to sell a book. This is also where Fox will put on any old Republican who will, apparently, say anything for the sake of airtime (Am I wrong or have I actually seen Alexander Haig on Fox recently?).

The worst way I could imagine spending my time would be to watch any of the "News Analysis" shows like OReilly, Hannity, LArry King, etc...
I wasn't talking about shows like O'Reilly. I was talking about the actual newscast.

With regard to O'Reilly, he is certainly conseravtive on most issues. But at least he gives the other side a fair voice. With regard to the recent Clinton controversy, O'Reilly had Paul Begala and James Carville on the show.
