Which one is your favourite?

I personally love Sunrise...they are so casual and they have a good time.

Oh, for other, just post what it is.

Sunrise I watch and treat as pissweake comedy that I sort of laugh at because I'm still only half-awake. My mates and I bag the shit out of it at school. We also reckon that Koshy knocks up Mel and Nat during the breaks, because really, what else would they do in the commercials?

They're not just serious, they're crap.

The ABC at least manages to seem unbiased, but Nine is just loaded with right-wing sentiment and Kerry Packer's opinions...

Channel 10 on weekdays is really just "Tim Bailey's Weatherhour with Occasional Newsbreaks", it's an abolute farce. It's not journalism at all.

Real journalism is on the ABC, their news and current affairs coverage is unparallelled. Real current affairs, not that crap that Today/Tonight and A Current Affair label as current affairs (let's call it "gossip").

SBS World News is usually decent, for actually covering major news beyond Australia. I try to refrain from viewing news programs on the commercial network, largely due to overt bias and an emphasis on frivolity (Not that this is entirely a bad thing, but it is detrimental in large amounts, unless the focus of the program is 'light entertainment', like Sunrise and it's 'Kosh Bonanza' ;)..).

Channel seven news in fine by me, although watching Today Tonight I can't help but laugh at everything on it.

Sunrise is pretty well done, pretty weak in terms of quality news because of it's high sugar content. Today kinda lost it when they got rid of Monty, he was funny (and if they put him back on my mistake).

Sunrise is that the morning show. This one is good. I also like Sky News (on cable TV here) and watch a Victorian news show on channel 7 - Today Tonight both really good.
