This is like comparing the NY Times or the Boston Globe versus the NY
Daily News or the Boston Herald.  

Each paper has its plusses and minuses.  I don't subscribe to the notion
of getting your news from only one place.   

During the six days I was home (tuesday to sunday), I kept flipping from
channel to channel to see how each of them was covering it.  The day after
I bought a copy of New York Newsday (yes we have 4, count them, 4, papers
in NYC) and a copy of the NY Post.  Each paper was surprisingly different
in their opinions and the way they covered the stories.
