Fox is absolutely terrible.
CNN used to be vastly superior, but they got slammed in the ratings by Fox's entertainment programming (I cannot call Megan Kelly's or Sean Hannity's work "news") so they basically copied the format. MSNBC has been irrelevant and worthless since day 1. Basically, aside from PBS, American news outlets are nothing but shouting heads for 3.5 minutes at a time, with no effort on the part of the journalist to demand sources or evidence. I didn't save the link, but there was a "debate" on gun control a few days ago where one guy's source was...HIMSELF. In an article he wrote for HIS OWN ORGANIZATION. This is news, apparently.
I haven't watched the new Al-Jazeera America network yet, but when I was deployed I loved their (piped in from Europe) network. It was the most even-handed presentation of actual meaningful events I've ever seen (my previous favorite was the BBC). They even praised Israel when appropriate.
