Just out of curiousity, where do you turn for the news? Do you get it from cable? From newspapers? Newsletters? Tea leaves? GFY? Mainstream sources or alternative outlets? Secret microwave transmissions from Beloved Leader? Online or normal print/broadcast?

Me? I'm a NPR/CNN/MS-NBC/BBC/A[ustralian]BC/New York Times/Chicago Tribune kind of guy. If a breaking news story that interests me involves a particular city, I'll try to find a net outlet in that city for some less-filtered information. I try very hard to get both sides of the story - growing up I had two nationally recognized representatives of both the left and the right in town (the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and the Globe Democrat), and it's a habit I've kept.

The news comes to me in dreams.

Want to know what will happen next week?

A transportation disaster, a weather disaster, and a few days of "profit taking" - according to the stock market gurus.

I just take off the aluminum foil cap that I normally wear and once again I can hear the microwaves that the CIA likes to beam into my mind in order to control me. The hard part is in keeping from falling under the mind beam control stream and running naked down the beach while chanting Bush is a god I will do his bidding.

As long as I keep my ankles wrapped in duct tape and eat lots of popcorn I am able to resist for 18.5 minutes per day and just enjoy the pornographic carnage of news brought to us by the bimbo of the day who is dressed in the latest fashions.

I also read CNN's web site and the local Sun-sentinel's web site plus often have the television on while building web sites of nasty pics.

foxnews is my favorite, but I flip through all the channels... CNN, MSNBC, networks, etc....

Also websites I check all the major news websites, and some of the kookier ones - like Debka and such.

I also read my local newspaper everyday, and from time to time, magazines - Time, Newsweek, etc....

Beleive me, when I make comments about the LIBERAL media... I see, and read it all the time.

magazines rule. problem is since the Internet i hardly read magazines any more.

Sunday New York Times is the greatest. We had a subscription while i was growing up, made me feel wordly growing up in a small steeltown.

During lunch I watch MSNBC or Fox News depending on which shows are on either channel.

I read the NY Times daily on their website. For further news I get Newsweek. For internet stuff I'm SUPPOSED to be subscribed to Yahoo! Internet Life, but I think they ripped me and sent me 2 then cancelled my subscrip.

For science news I get Natural History, and Discover. I'll buy Scientific American on the shelves if I see it at the bookstore and it looks interesting.

I watch O'Reilly sometimes during dinner, but mostly ESPN (!) if it's late enough for Sportscenter to be on.

I used to read the Drudge Report daily but it got on my nerves, both the web design and stale news updates.
