$1 Million on the line - which network do you only watch?  You only get to watch one channel for five days straight. You can't read, watch or listen to anything else.  You can only watch this channel and read their news crawler.  At the end of the five days, you have to take a current events/news quiz. If you get all 15 questions right, you win the million.

Perhaps you could amend the poll to be cross platform through one source. Otherwise the bigs are at a disadvantage.

BTW is it Fox or did you mean Fox news? I think many people conflate the two.

 
I'd be better off not watching any news then the mostly drivel in this poll.

We are in the second generation of yellow journalism. Nobody needs the news if they keep their eyes and ears open.

 
After a week I think you'd pass the test watching any of them. Would have the best chance with the news networks just because they have more programming.

You'd also want to jam an icepick in your temple if you watched a week of Hannity.

Not even remotely close.  As bad as liberals make FoxNews in their heads, it at least attempts to try to be a legitimate comprehensive news organization.  MSNBC is all about agenda.  Unless the quiz was gonna focus in Trump scandals, you would be a guaranteed loser.  But you are unable to separate Hannity from their news.

Kind of flawed as NBC/CBS/ABC are pretty much interchangeable.

NBC is what I went with... It is what we watch around here for local news and sometimes(rarely) World news.. Otherwise I review many different news sites( which you are taking away from us in this poll )

I only tune into one of the cable News channels if something major is happening. Otherwise those channels are just a bunch of :hophead:

How often do you watch Fox & Friends?  I'm pretty sure I've never seen more than 5 minutes of that show cumulatively over the course of my life.  The only morning news show I ever have time for is Morning Joe, and that's only when I'm confined to a treadmill.

At best those two channels are opposite sides of the coin. Don't pretend Fox has any less agenda.

IMO I'll take a pass... not sure a Million is enough money to warrant sitting through 5 days of the drivel from any of these sources.

I agree with this. Just read print articles. Much easier to sift through the garbage and rhetoric.
