It's tricky finding the best source for news.

When I want details and understanding of a complex issue, MSNBC's Rachel Maddow is what I will usually turn to first. Like her or not, she presents details, quotes, videos, multiple sources, history and context to each piece of news she presents.

CNN is the fastest when it comes to breaking news. When I want to know whats going on, I will always check CNN.com first. msnbc.com is usually slower to update, and has very little new content on the weekends whereas CNN seems to be updated 24/7.

CNN's Wolf Blitzer is probably the most popular, but I think he's afraid to ask serious questions. Anderson cooper might be a little tougher, sometimes, but he has stupid guests like Kelleanne Conway which demand tough questions. Coop' will ask sometimes, but won't follow up.

Sometimes CNN delivers fluff, or delivers "breaking" news in red graphics that is hardly breaking nor important.

Fox News was especially bad for this. Every single news story was "breaking".

Fox News is by far the worst. "Fox & Friends", Sean Hanity and "Gang of 5" being the absolute rock bottom for news or commentary. It should be painfully obvious to even the most die-hard Trump supporter that Fox News is nothing more than an infomercial for the Trump and Republican brands.
