    Being that I don't live in Houston, I would definitely go with CNN. Faux news isn't even close.

    In terms of online coverage, channel 11 has the others beat. They've got better pictures and model to track the hurricane and cut out the bull**** that the other two are putting. The less articles about how the apocalypse is coming and more links to tracking models the better.

    11 doesn't need models predicting the apocolipse, they the have Dr. Frank doing it for them

    .btw, channel 2 was the first to say the hurricane was hitting LA not TX - (although, I still think they preempts TV too soon... my wife missed her freaking law and order)

    Shep Smith just took a spill on Fox News. I like the guy but I couldn't help but laugh when he fell and then said, "It's stupid to be standing out here right now."

    the hurricane looks like it'll hit near cameron la just from eyeballing the eye.

    and the eye looks really small now.

    i've really liked 2/11. i dont care what frank says i love frank.

    Yeah, I saw that also. How many hats is Shep going to lose?

    btw, FOX news is MUCH better than CNN.

    Harrisment answered your question in his original post when he said "not that there is anything wrong with that."

    Wolf Blitzer is a dork. He's making the hurricane sound like there is a street battle going on in Houston. What a dumba$$. :rolleyes:

    Coverage was bad on all stations. This morning they used the Galvestion Stand wall that fell down and the General Dollar store fire to fill time. Sad really.

    Channel 11 did have the best scrolling bottom do-hickey.

    Dr. Neil Frank was horrible, he really wanted this storm to hit houston and he just wouldn't let it go even when it was obvious it was going to hit western louisanna. What a loser.

    you are not alone in your beliefs... I will bet that Dr. Frank is still trying to tell everyone that the feeder bands are going to level downtown!
