BBC generally. Also the Philip deFranco show and Have I Got News For You. I like the terrible things happening in the world to be reported to me with humour and sarcasm.

The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg ,United Daily News , The Epoch Times, The Washington Examiner, and The Yomiuri. The only TV channel worth watching is CNBC.

Usually just the BBC. I read the Guardian sometimes and watch Have I Got News For You when it's on as well, though.

Really though, I don't have a TV or internet in my apartment right now. Most of my news alerts are through various social grapevines or seeing a random headline on the stand, and then I start researching it myself — usually starting at the usual news channel/paper sites.

I use Google news to give me hints about whatever's going on

I use [1] for my local stuff

BBC, the local newspaper, and anything linked through TV Tropes. I sometimes read CNN (my school's homepage has a feed), but not as often because I inevitably end up reading the comments right below the article.

Network news (my mom is addicted to news and watches all the time, I was raised on news), The Daily Show and The Colbert Report (believe it or not).

[up][up][up]I also use Google News, and just click on whatever catches my attention, largely regardless of source.

If there's one thing I really hate, it's SHORT articles that tell me nothing, a serious problem with ABC News. Political bias is another thing, but getting news from multiple sources means I can sift through it easily.

CBC, BBC who get most of their stuff from Reuters and AP anyway. I used to check out CNN but their credibility has gone off a cliff since their ratings war with Fox news.

NPR, EWTN (for religious news), my local paper (which is big-government conservative owing to a large Catholic union population and being heavily reliant on the defense industry historically), and CBS.

NPR every morning, and when it's not on, BBC or whatever pops up on Google News, except that I avoid Fox where I can help it.

NPR, almost completely.

I get a 45 minute dose on my way to work, and sometimes I would catch BBC World America, if it was a late day. I read Fark, but only rarely. Sometimes, I get a wild hair and read Pravda for laughs. And when I'm getting ready in the morning, I have CNN headline News on in the background.

I read The Washington Post, mainly.

Currently taking a break from the site. See my user page for more information.

The BBC. Sometimes here as well.

I'd get Private Eye, if I knew where to get it >_>
