Where Do You Get Your News?

google news is my favorite news site. In order for something to be posted on my news page there has to be sources. You can check trending info, see different articles about the same piece of news, pick what type of news you want to see, and much much more. my god man there isn't anything better that I am aware of.
 
Variety is best for all the reasons stated in thread.

For me:

NPR in car

Online:
CNN
Huffington post
Macrumors, engadget, Cnet for tech takes care of my news and rumors.
Local online SFgate and LA Times
Culture/ Ethnic specific news sites.
 
Lately I've been going to Al Jazeera and NPR. For some reason I wind up on the MSN.com homepage and discover a lot of breaking national news there although it's not a very good source of world news.

For the average American you'll probably get all of what you need to know in basic conversation with people from CNN or MSN.
 
Usually the radio. It does not seem to be as biased as the visual news media.

Not a fan of NPR, BBC, MSNBC, or CNN
 
I browse the typical big-media sites for general news:
CBS, NBC, FOX, ABC, CNN, BBC

Then I check some other sites for stories that are typically censored by the big-media sites:
DRUDGE REPORT, NATIONAL REVIEW, INFIDEL BLOGGERS ALLIANCE and some others.

Gosh, why would you think that?

Twitter is on the internet, and everything you read on the internet is true...don't you know that?

Only deeply committed and totally objective folks post on Twitter, so you have nothing to worry about..

Truth and accuracy reign supreme. A lot like Fox News!:p
 
I use the USA Today app on my iPad. It gives a good overview of what's going on in the world and it's totally free. Some people are going to say its the comic book of newspapers or that its low brow, but if you are just looking to be informed about current events its a good one.

Well, yes and no. I do not browse them all at the same time, LOL. That would be an effort in futility you silly goose. I usually pin the tail on the big media donkey then check the other sites for news that we will not see on any U.S. big media sites nor any typical international sites.

It never ceases to amaze me, and disturb me, how big news and journalism operate under the premise that misinformation by partial or complete omission does not somehow fall under censorship. Tyranny and oppression at work...but that's what it is because we don't call it that, LOL.
 
My wife.

It doesn't matter what's going on, she constantly is checking the news (CNN & Local news) and facebook on her phone. So I, by extension, know what's going on.
 
For me...

For local:
utsandiego.com and I get the sunday edition delivered.
KPBS radio which covers NPR, APM, and PRI programming as well.

For pop culture pulse:
yahoo main page
friends

For news:
bbc.co.uk/news
economist.com and print.
various

For business:
marketplace.org
finance.yahoo.com
CNBC

For fun:
Colbert Report
The Daily Show
theonion.com
 
I get the Guardian as my daily newspaper (in print). I don't think I'm ready to go fully digital yet; there's something very nice about enjoying a cup of tea whilst reading the morning newspaper, it doesn't feel the same if it were on, say, an iPad.

Apart from that, very similar to the other folk.

BBC News, CNN, The Independent, The Telegraph, and Google News.

Fox News and the Daily Mail for when I feel like a daredevil.

OOH...you're an old guy (gender neutral usage).

We got our first TV in '51 or '52...black and white, with something like three channels which were on about 6-8 hours a day.

At that time, there was at least an attempt at limiting editorializing to well identified segments of the news.

I resemble these remarks.

I read the local (small town) newspaper each morning, check headlines on Google 2-3 times a day, watch local TV news in the evening. I listen to NPR news if I am driving home from my occasional work at the 5 pm hour.

I know, right? Why the major news outlets actually cover stories they are unwilling to post as front page/major stories only to have the likes of Drudge Report simply regurgitate is beyond me. However as a Libertarian I am relieved, and quite thankful, that somebody is willing to put these stories at the forefront so all of us can bask in the rays of enlightenment.
:D
