I find it really sad that MSNBC has turned into what it has. It is now essentially the liberal equivalent of Fox News.

It is very hard to find good in-depth news out there. NPR as a whole seems to do a very good job at this. Other than that I think it really comes down to picking out one or two shows that are shining stars on otherwise crappy news channels. Some that I might suggest that offer a wide range of views and in-depth knowledge:

The Dianne Rehm Show (NPR)
BBC World News America (BBC America)
This Week with George Stephanopoulos (ABC)
Hardball with Chris Matthews (MSNBC)

If I'm wanting to hear intelligent partisans speak rationally to try to understand where they are coming from, for conservative stuff I actually find Huckabee (Fox) pretty interesting. For liberal stuff I usually find Bill Maher (HBO) interesting if not entertaining.

For business news you've gotta watch CNBC, it's the most informative hands down.
