Newest Review: ... Daily Shows With... which in my opinion is the most unfunny comedy chat/current affairs program known to man. It doesn't help though that they talk a lot about American law and politics which seems to be very complicated so that might explain it. Comparing CNN to Fox though I would prefer to watch CNN if on holiday and if I was American probably watch CNN over here on my favourite free ... more

 ... digital services such as Free View or Free Sat. Overall then quite an entertaining news channel for us Brits giving us even more evidence that the Americans are more stupid and more corrupt than any country in the world....more

Premium Review CNN: Funniest news channel by far from a Brit's PoV (281 words)

I have to be quite truthful in this review by saying that I only ever watch CNN on UK Free Sat and Free View for the major LOLs it has given me. Upon flicking through TV channels at a time when nothing was on I came across this American news channel. Two politicians and a news reader were talking about the war in Iraq and the lack of WMDs in the country. I was almost in stitches on the floor laughing at how the two politicians defended George W Bush's invasion of Iraq, coming up with the most ridiculous answers. Luckily though the news reader brought up the fact that we only invaded because Iraq has a lot of oil and that invading was a way of keeping the ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review CNN: The Last Resort At Your Holiday Resort (714 words)

Rating:

(NB. The following is on CNN's International TV Channel rather than the traditional American CNN...) It’s when I’m on holiday that I realise that I am a bit of a news junkie. Away from internet access and my beloved Ceefax, it becomes harder to find out what’s happening in the world. Whilst there are always an abundance of the British tabloids in every holiday resort from Lesbos to Lanzarote, it’s hard to find any sort of proper newsworthy story out of, say, ‘The Sun’, let alone coping with the fact that you have to pay three times the cover price that it is in Blighty. Therefore, I’m reliant on TV... as ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review The world's News Leader (556 words)

C.N.N (Cable News Network) founded by Ted Turner, is currently leading the way in news reporting. Don't get me wrong, I watch B.B.C and I.T.V in order to catch up with the news around the country. B.B.C and I.T.V are good but when it comes to international news, C.N.N is the best. For instance, I first heard about the U.S presidential elections on C.N.N before I heard about it on the B.B.C. I also heard about the crisis in Kosovo before I heard about it on I.T.V. Their style of reporting is first class. Take for instance, only C.N.N will report on an issue that happened in the remotest part of the world while B.B.C and I.T.V won't bother to show it. ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review CNN: Watch excellent news coverage for FREE (232 words)

I have been following the American Election’s on CNN, they have provided excellent in-depth coverage of the Election. However, I do think they seem to guess the outcome tell their viewers and then be red faced when something else happens. What a disaster the Elections have been, CNN have admitted that quite openly which was quite impressive, let the world see that the Americans can’t even have a election run smoothly yet they think they can tell everyone else how to run their countries. This has to be one of the best free news channels if you want to keep up-to date with world news/Asia news or stories from America. The best ...  Read the complete review
