Both are hard to watch, but I like knowing what's going on in the world.
I'm at the very nice Four Seasons in Shanghai starting a Viking cruise tour. WiFi is great, but I miss Fox News. Fox isn't perfect, but I'll take it any day over CNN and BBC.

Yep. Sadly I'd trust Al Jazeera over CNN.

Nothing is going on. Same stuff, different decade. My advice is get a good book and enjoy your break from the same-old same-old.
If you must be kept informed, as long as you have the Internet, you can get to Fox News. If you must have Fox News video - they have apps for phone and tablet and a lot of video clips from their shows on their website.

Really, considering CNN as a news source, especially after recent evidence of staging and plain out lying about "news" is truly puzzling. I can see one watching for cheap laughs, but I'd rather be blissfully unaware than watch fake news. And I have less use for the BBC.
Seriously, if you're on vacation, perhaps tuning out would be the best option. And get your news from Sigforum; seriously, if anything is going down in the world, this place is on top of it.

The person who thinks CNN is a reliable is the same person who hires a complete frat house as tenets and employees of a liquor store yet blames the police and school system for inventory discrepancies.
Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
