I'm going with The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer.

while not a program really, cspan is the worst for getting ur news...though there is the least distortion. perhaps that is why fox is so entertaining.

5/25/2006 9:13:32 PM

not a news program really, but that woman on npr around 10 talks fucking slow

5/25/2006 10:27:54 PM

^ i hate how npr's so much quieter than other stations

on the highway, with my windows down, i can barely hear what they're saying even with the volume cranked

5/26/2006 12:44:36 AM

NPR's daytime programming isn't much to my liking. It seems like 90% of the time they talk about the NSA spying deal, anyway.

I listen to NPR for the Beeb, usually.

Herbalife Today with Anna Nicole

5/26/2006 4:15:21 PM

Try listening to NPR on an AM station. Its like everyone's talking through a pillow.

5/26/2006 4:16:08 PM

^haha true

i also vote for C Span

that could put that dude from the Bond movie with Halle Berry to sleep

you know, that guy who never sleeps ever

i don't know about most boring, but the gayest, most inane, and most dumbed-down is that stupid show that Connie Chung and whathisname have.

5/26/2006 10:42:53 PM

maury povich?

5/26/2006 10:43:24 PM

^Yeah, that is terrible. I want them to talk about his supposed sexual harassment incident one time. That may make the show more interesting.

Perhaps they'll just do some more DNA tests to find out who someone's baby belongs to.

oh man I love NPR

Ahahahahha that's Diane Rehm. Her voice is so fucked up because she has some disease or something. I'm used to it now, but at first that shit is unlistenable. It's like letting an ugly person on TV.

5/27/2006 12:07:45 PM

Second the NewsHour

5/27/2006 5:27:13 PM

^^ i mean its a good program, but i find myself finishing her sentences in my head

5/27/2006 5:32:37 PM

^ The first time I heard her voice when they booted Dick Gordon's perfectly awesome show (damn them) I laughed my ass off. I got home and made TennisAngel listen to how funny she sounded. I really can't get into her show. "Some" of the issues are interesting and some of the guests are decent, but listening to her talk falls well within the realm of this thread's topic.

fucking beltway boys

5/27/2006 7:56:32 PM

anything with Greta Van Susteren puts me to sleep

5/27/2006 8:11:27 PM

who is the guy on 101.1 or WPTF or one of those stations around noon on weekdays? he sounds really obese and talks about taxes 99.99% of the time I've caught him. no better way to bore someone to death than by rehashing the same tired topics over and over...

wait, its pundity, never mind. well, unless youre one of those morons that gets their news from pundits.

The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer makes the BBC World Service look like Fox News.


^^^^^xWhatever
Diane Rehm is pretty sharp for an older broad, despite the voice handicap.

I've found that if you play her show through a Star Wars voice-changing helmet, she sounds pretty good.
