Where do you get your news?

[Evil Chris]

I'm curious to know where those of you in the USA get your news.

Over the last couple of years, I've learned that many trust only the Washington Post (it's daily, and website) for a non-bias side of every story. Is this true?

Wouldn't it make sense to play it safe and get your poli-news from a source like McLeans or similar Canadian newsmagazine?

I'm lazy - I get local news from the local stations and national news from news.google.com or the boards. :P

[SykkBoy]

from GFY of course!

Actually, I try to get news from different sources.
I watch CNN quite a bit, but will also head over to Fox and MSNBC once in awhile...and of course "The Daily Show"

[sarettah]

cnn, abc, Washington Post, NewsDay, whereever the story on google or drudge is linked to...

News. Well, as far as the first basic run of "what happened" I could care less where the news comes from. After that, I usually google through the news for a few different perpectives but as far as commentary - who really cares?

I buy my news from IKEA. It's cheaper... but you have to put it together yourself.








everyone watches/reads the news they want to believe or that which is consistent with their political/cultural views while trying to convince themselves that they are getting "both sides of the story"

it's like saying "which branch of Christianity do you believe in" - in the end, it doesn't matter and it's very futile to argue with a believer.

Why GFY of course...it seems some people over there think it's their job to cut and paste entire news stories day in and day out.
