Where do you get your news?

Ack, misclicked before I posted. Anyway...

Where do you get your news? I have BBC World, Al Jazeera English, Reuters, and NPR on my Google homepage, and I listen to NPR when I drive. I guess it's the right mix for news, as I feel that CNN has a low signal-to-noise ratio, Fox and MSNBC have their own well-known biases, and I'm impressed enough with the the sources I used now to continue using them.

Any other suggestions?

Generally I read the Wall Street Journal, though it isn't as good as it used to be. IMO, TV news shows should be abolished in favor of organized rumor-mongering.

Internet's not much better, either. 5% fact to 95% invective and all that.

NPR, when I can. Which isn't often. Otherwise I tend to split between the New York Times and whatever happens to be on the Google News frontpage. For opinion/commentary, The Rachel Maddow Show.

Generally NBC. For the internet, Yahoo News.

You got some dirt on you. Here's some more!

Daily Show and Colbert Report....

.....stop looking at me like that!

Power corrupts. Knowledge is Power. Study hard. Be evil.

Still watches the TV News. Mind you, Swedish news programs havent devolved into scaremongering or infotainment, not to mention that they dont cater to specific political parties, so theyre a bit more reliable here.

I forgot about Time magazine.

I like local newspapers, they tend to be small-money enough to where they are either so biased you can tell, or so small on the radar that greed and being part of a large news corporation hasn't robbed them of journalistic integrity.

NPR app on my I-pod touch, links from "that one friend" and...links to interesting stories from here (OTC). <_<

Look, you can't make me speak in a logical, coherent, intelligent bananna.

I don't. I live in a sad little bubble.

See, I live in on-campus accomodation. Before I got a TV of my own for my room, the only access to television was the communal one in the dining hall, which only ever seemed to be on The Simpsons or Sunrise or some awful daytime tv movie. So I kind of never saw any news.

I woke up one morning and, bam, new prime minister. It was very confusing.

Be not afraid...

Do you also lack a computer?

I just get it wherever. If something of interest occurs, I just sort of "shop around" and read from different sources. I don't do this too often though.

I have one, it's just... It never occurs to me to look up news on it. *shrug*

Be not afraid...

CNN for indepth-ish stuff and the Daily Show to at least hear about stuff, with Yahoo news mostly because I still have it bookmarked.

They lost me. Forgot me. Made you from parts of me. If you're the One, my father's son, what am I supposed to be?

A lot of places. Fox's actual news articles as long as they have help from some other agency like Reuters or the AP or showing partial articles from those places. I check them then find the version of the articles or see if they have any on their site.

CNN sometimes has some good articles

BBC news is one of my favorites they have a very broad regional coverage.

Local news a news channel in florida.

Wired's assorted blogs like Danger Room and Threat Level.

Some science based news cant recall the names off the top of my head.

And a Russian news site that also has English articles. Always in a weird shade of green but they have some interesting articles as well.

Drudge Report finds some pretty good article selections sometimes.

Who watches the watchmen?

Pretty much just the BBC.

With cannon shot and gun blast smash the alien. With laser beam and searing plasma scatter the alien to the stars.

The BBC, Private Eye and Have I Got News For You.

BBC, friends' tips, and frankly a scattergun approach for anything potentially in doubt or subject to significant bias.

...is out to lunch.

I've got BBC, Al-Jazeera, and CNN on my homepage every morning. There's also NPR and whatever else I might be forwarded by a friend.

Here

Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's Play

My News bookmarks, in order: Fark, BBC, Raw Story, Talking Points Memo, Truthdig, Crooks & Liars, the Brad Blog, Economic Populist. Some of them cross-pollinate. Some of them have a left-wing bias, but better that than screaming hate-filled right-wing bias.

Under World. It rocks!

When I'm looking at something on TV I'll hop between FOX, CNN, MSNBC, and the CSPAN channels. If one channel has commercials running or is showing something really stupid  ^*

I'll just flip through the other ones. On the internet it's usually either Reuters or BBC, and occasionally I'll get NPR's news program on the radio if it's a late school day.

edit Also, for scientific news I usually glance over Science Daily.

CPR (local version of NPR) in my car, Campus police instant message account, virtual newspaper (personal web page with links to local newspaper, AOL-HP, CNN, Fox Science, MSNBC, Sea Shepherd, and the Weather Channel), and I also recently got a TV card on my home computer (Comcast: CNN, Fox News, and MSNBC).

I go to a selection of newspaper sites, plus the BBC. E.g. The Guardian and The Telegraph, two papers which are from opposite sides of the spectrum. But they cover different stories and put a different slant on things, and I generally decipher the truth by comparing the stories that left and right-wing papers are putting forward. Sometimes it's two sides of the same story, sometimes they will cover things that the other will find irrelevant.
