I know this sounds stupid, but I like Jon Stewart.
I like him because he laughs at the ridiculous and seems to hold both sides to the same standard. If you're being a schmuck, Jon Stewart will call you a schmuck.
Cable and Network news seem to be so intently focused on maintaining neutrality that they sound like an army of automatons. They all seem to sound the same and never seem to express an opinion of any kind. They always seem to miss the pitch intentionally.
I like Chris Matthews, even though he talks over his guests most times. I don't know if he counts as a news anchor though....
Jim Lehrer is good evenly balanced coverage, but again there's no opinion. I like an anchor with a little fire in their belly. How am I supposed to get excited and interested in what's going on in the world, when the news guys all sound the same?
