To be fair, I spent the majority of my viewing time with CNN, while occasionally taking a peek at what FOX was trying to pull off. I just thought that, on CNN, there was more attention paid to what was happening in more places, including my beloved New Orleans (drunken morons notwithstanding - they are a nationwide curse on NYE anyway). And I actually like Griffin stirring up the pot. On the other hand, I never bothered to spend a second with Seacrest and old Dick on ABC or Carson the Tool on NBC. I mean, it's supposed to be a holiday, not detention in Guantanamo.
