I'm in the same boat!
I watch Fox sometimes, but I really have to limit my news watching (I'm a complete news nerd; I take notes!) so I've been watching Headline News. Or, as I like to call it, the news for the ADD crowd.
That being said, I find it both alarming and amusing that so many people rail against Fox, yet seem to think CBS is unbiased. (Was Rather framed? I bet Bush did it!) They were pretty silent about Reuters Photoshopping pictures which were used to make Israel look bad. Not a word from the left about the NYT running a story that they *knew* was false, but hey - it slammed the military, so it's all good to the left.

I am not a conservative. However, I'm not a liberal either. I try to inform myself the best I can on any issue and make my own opinion. I do watch Fox News and sometimes Hannity. I don't watch it more or less than other news channels. Just to provide balance of opinions. There are issues that I find myself in agreement with Bill O'Reilly on. Other times I think his stance on an issue is narrow minded and idiotic. I believe that a good and informed opinion cannot be obtained without reading and viewing a variety of sources.

I'm not a conservative. I don't watch Fox. I don't get home in time to watch the ABC, NBC, or CBS evening news. So I try to catch the last half of Hardball, then Countdown. I miss seeing Scarborough Country and well I...can't stand Dan Abrams.
As for the radio. I only listen to Rush or Hannity when I need to stay awake when driving. They both get my blood up just enough that I can keep my eyes open wide.
A news source that I would recommend for Conservatives as well as Liberals is The Week. It distills US and International media stories with various points of views collected on each story. Very readable!

Don't have time to listen to Rush anymore but, you only have to listen to him a few times and you got it all.
Hannity reminds me of that annoying kid I used to beat up every day to stay in shape. I watch because I feel bad about it now that I'm a lttle older. Depending on the guests I keep the sound down and practice the guitar.
Combs is like a car accident. Awful but, you just have to look.
O'Riely is hysterical if you don't take him seriously.
I do CNN in the morning because the one that came over from FOX is SOOOOOOO easy on the eyes. I keep the sound off though. I'd rather listen to the cereal crunching in my teeth.
I do Fox in the afternoon and hope to see Charles Krauthammer. The man is brilliant.
I would love to see Brit Hume in a steel cage match with Wolf Blizter. Hume would wipe the floor with him.
Other than that, I check the local traffic, weather and the DC death toll.

Once in a great while, I'll watch, but it's rare. I never listen to Rush and don't even believe that he's being aired here. On my 10 to 15 minute drive to work in the mornings, I'll catch Neal Boortz, a Libertarian and listen to what he might have to say. I catch very little of it because my timing happens to coincide with ABC news and a few commercials.
I too am a Conservative.

I'm an Independent Conservative and I don't watch any TV or news cause they are all LIEberal and not worth a plug nickel. I read the news but I only believe what they print when I see the same thing in several other news reports.

I gave up YEARS ago on 'network' news....right about the time it all became nothing more than mere entertainment for the 'ratings'. I mean really...who really cares who's the 'Number 1' news network? Do you?
Just do some research and you learn a lot of things that not one person would actually want to report.

I am an Orthodox conservative.
I don't watch CNN and Fox, never listened to radio dummies.
But I read every article of Pat Buchanan. I love his language.

I am a conservative and I do watch Fox News as my primary news source. It is one, if not the best, at reporting what really is happening. I particually like Hannity. He just tells it like it is. Rush is pretty good as well, as he 'gets it' about America today.
