Beats me. I see a few minutes of her show about every other week. When I
watch TV, it is mostly the animal/nature/science shows. If I need a
political giggle, I watch the latest in craziness/stupidity from Fox
News on a Facebook clip.

I used to watch CNN most of the time but since Dish dropped them I
have been looking at Al Jazeera America if I want international news.
CNN was getting too dumb to watch anyway. They would get hung up on
something and just beat it to death. Fox and MSNBC are just too
polarized for me. They are both ramming their agenda down your throat.
If you agree with them it is entertaining I guess.

The Al Jazerra shows do seem to be better if you want to see something
other than the story of the day, over and over again. They cover
things you normally would never hear about in places that 90% of
Americans could not get close to on a map.

Yes, Al Jazerra puts on a good news presentation, a lot more like the
BBC than our typical overly sensational and commercialized cable networks.
