Pros: They aren't screwing around when the say "Get to the point News."
Cons: They aren't screwing around when they say "Get to the point News."
The Bottom Line: If you need to get caught up with US and world news quickly, Headline News is the place to go.

| hiphop101's Full Review: Headline News |
It's the first news I turn to in the morning. I turn to it for the speed and quantity, not the quality.
The quantity is amazing. The actual "picture" of the news only takes up about half of your screen. The rest is occupied by graphics about the current story, the days headlines and whether and sports reports...all of which scrolls 24 hours a day.
The speed is equally amazing. The day's headlines are run twice every half hour. So you get your headlines in fifteen minutes.
As for quality, it isn't terrible for being so condensed. The reporters are good at what they do; getting to the point, and the anchors are professional. Like most major netwrok or cable stations, though, Headline news is still a mainstream news source and therefore you must take everything they produce with a grain of salt.
Hope you liked the review...just like CNN Headline News, it was short, to the point, gave you the info you needed to know with almost no details. If you want more, go to another channel or read another review.
