OK. Which network coverage is likely to annoy me least?

I'm very sensitive to this sort of thing. For that reason I watch very little tv news.

I know MSNBC is probably most sympathetic to DEMs. But does it have comparable resources? Will I get the same level of accuracy? How 'bout speed of reporting results ?

Election Night. Bah Humbug.

The sooner this is over, the happier I'll be.
