Where do you get your news?
|
For serious news: http://news.bbc.co.uk For other 'news': http://www.digg.com For science news: http://www.newscientist.com/ Some of you guys in the US should definitely give the BBC a try for world news. In terms of journalistic standard and telling the news rather than intepreting the news, they're probably one of the, if not THE, best. Side: BBC
And it's all "Because of the unique way it's funded". I wonder if they have ads on the world service? They don't on the website do they? Makes me feel proud, I'm helping to bring decent news to the rest of the world. [cue national anthem, fist to chest and tear in eye] Side: BBC

Well talk radio is pretty biased I will admit. But that is more entertainment than news for me. You think the weather channel is conservative bias? (; Anyways, almost every major cable news channel is biased in some way. I mine as well watch one that I agree with. And it's not like that conflicts with the major current events. I still get the news no matter what kind of "spin" is put on it. It's not like my views come from what I have seen on Fox News. I never even really watched it until just last year when the election was taking off. Side: Fox News
Whenever I watch the news on TV, it's usually FOX or ABC. FOX has a hot female anchor. ;) But I don't really have that much of a preference... And I never check online news sources. It's not that I don't want to, it's just that I have a lot of other websites to look at online. I play server games, I'm an avid youtube watcher, I use social networking, and of course there's good old CD. Side: Fox News

Well, I sometimes watch Fox "News" and when I get tired of their propaganda I balance things out by watching MSNBC "News" and their propaganda. By watching the two propaganda stations talk about stuff I am better at finding the moderate answer because it often is somewhere in the middle. On the internet I go to the Drudgereport and I use to go to the Huffingtonpost, but I got tired of their bullshit. Youtube is good for news as it is happening but a lot of it is too unconfirmed to be considered accurate. I find articles via Google and sometimes even Wiki has some good stuff. Side: various places

I listen to a daily coMedy radio show, and they have news and such. I get it podcasted into my phone and my phone goes everywhere. I have docking stations in my bathroom, and car. I also love NPR, because I hate BS. I read the LA times in the morning at work. I get a free copy, and I have a free hour usually around 6am. CNN sends breaking news and articles with certain keywords to me as email alerts. And about every other day I'll catch the daily show. Oh.... And TMZ. Side: BBC
I stopped watching regular tv news and newspapers long time ago because it is all government media. I only believe in the news on the net because they are not as controlled and biased as they are on regular tv/newspapers and this is the same for any country in the world. Don't forget that today's greatest weapon is the media (or simply said "pity"), not some nuclear bomb. Today's media supports whichever side it's own respective government sides with. Too much propaganda. I like to read the same news from more than just one source, compare it to others to determine which one seems to make sense and is factual, not fictional.......and most of all, neutral.
