Review of TV's Top Journalists, Interviewers and Hosts

In the media there are so many channels that in primetime it is difficult to choose who to watch for the news. I break down the people to see and stations to watch for all your politics and news.

From America's Broadcasting Company, ABC offers Ted Koppel, George Stephanopoulus, Barbra Walters and Diane Sawyer. Ted Koppel hosts Nightline on ABC and is one of the smartest minds hosting the news. He asks professional questions and sets high standards for his show every week. George Stephanopoulus hosts "This Week" on ABC. Stephanopoulus does not embarras the guests on his show but he does question their motives and policies on occassion. Still his show needs to gain more credibility and popularity with the people. 

Barbara Walters hosts 20/20 for ABC and does whatever it takes to get an interview with the person she is seeking. Her questions are not hard and she likes to build a friendly atmosphere with the person during the interview. Finally ABC has Diane Sawyer on for Primetime Live. 

The National Broadcasting Company, NBC has one main news man and that is Tim Russert. Russert asks tough questions that would make any politician sweat. Russert knows his facts and researches the background of his interviewee and subject material very closely which is why he is able to ask some great questions on his feet. His follow-up questions are also great and show he is interested in the interview. Russert hosts Meet the Press. On MSNBC Chris Matthews hosts Hardball which shoots is shows in Washington D.C. on the American University campus. Matthews on hardball asks demanding questions and really grills his opponents. Both sides of the issues are discussed by the men on hardball and it is a very interesting show that I strongly recommend for anyone interested in politics.
