where do you get your news from?

[JayHawk]

Online I used a variety of sources.
My sources throughout the day have changed. I currently listen to a lot of Talk Radio which isnt all right wing. But a lot of it is so I hear the ridiculous assertions and I hear them make wild claims about a story. Often while driving I will send a quick email to myself reminding me to research whatever subject using multiple sources.

I listen to CNN, NPR, sometime MSNBC. I really like it when a news channel has a talk subject but regularly has the news of the day..from ABC generally. I also will listen to the BBC.

To be fair if I hear something is breaking I tune to CNN.

Online I used a variety of sources. I like those you posted but I start out on Slate

2. Wall Street Journal
3. Washington Times (www.washingtontimes.com)
4. Politico
5. CNN
6. National Review (www.nationalreview.com)

[CowboyBob]

1) local newspaper (subscription)
2) local television news channel
3) MSNBC
4) BBC (cable tevevision)
5) CBC (we have the CBC on our local cable system)
6) Current cable network (guess what program)
7) Huffington Post (bookmarked)
8) NPR
9) Yahoo (bookmarked)
10) Mrs. Anderson down the street for all the latest dirt on the neighbors. (gossip)

I won't watch network (NBC, CBS, ABC) television news. It's all fluff and human interest stories. I don't watch propaganda so if I'm channel checking in the morning I may run across Fox but pass it by.

• The Fort Worth Star ******** (The Startle Gram as the locals call it because we never know how their editorial board is going to come out on something. )
• The Dallas Morning News (Or the Mourning News, because their editorial board finds themselves in mourning for issues that they championed, and that their readers ignored. )

That's the printed journalism that you'll most often find a copy of laying around my house.

Online, and especially here in CE&P "google is my friend" so I'll type in a search topic and see where that takes me.

I'll read a source, and that tells me a lot about the person who shared it, and how relevant the topic truly is based upon the hit returns.

Sometimes the real story is buried in an original source 2 or 3 google pages back, and the story is actually older than Christmas.

Cable News:

• CNN
• HLN
• FOX NEWS

CNN is my primary. I work nights so Anderson Cooper 360 is always a good place to start.

HLN because it's kind of like The Weather Channel Version of the news.

FOX NEWS, because when my Republican Family members, or posters here in CE&P start to speak in "Fox speak" I need to know what they're talking about.

Radio:

NPR and my local NPR Station almost 24/7 in my truck.

Internet: Usually links that my friends share on Facebook.

 

[palbert]

On=line: New York Times (digital subscription), MSNBC, CNN, Yahoo.

TV: BBC America.

Paper: Bangor Daily News (at work); The Week (the one I actually love). The local weekly, The Ellsworth American.

No, not NPR (except on April 1st).

 

[JayHawk]

Palbert. Why no NPR? Out of curiosity?

I have noticed on sirius and XM there are three different NPR stations covering a variety of programming and often in different parts of the US they cover the much less interesting topics. The stations have a choice on what they can show and are also limited by how much money they can get through donations.

For whatever reason this part of the country has an amazing amount of talk radio. (Kansas CIty, and St Louis but mostly in the sticks around these cities. ) I am used to huge cities having a ton of AM stations but not in the sticks where it is worth a listen.

 

[ChickenGuy]

Mostly BBC News on their website and on their scheduled TV broadcasts, and also Sky News live online video.

Occasionally Yahoo if anything of interest shows up while checking my mail, and also CNN from time to time.

 

[Spiff]

Online at home, primarily HuffingtonPost, or occasionally Towleroad. Can't view these at work because the conservative pricks in control have those sites blocked. So I settle for CNN.

 

[construct]

My preferred sources are NPR/PRI/BBC on the radio and the Fort Worth Star-******** whether print or on-line versions.

(BTW, the Star-******** came to be called the "Startle-Gram" because of an incident at the beginning of Desert Storm. The war was front page headline news for the first ten days. Then on the eleventh day, the Arlington edition headlined a dog that was shot with an arrow. It had a big color picture and everything. Jeez! Talk about bleeding and leading!)

Then I check here for topics I want to pursue through google searches. My real life friends are not particularly helpful in that regard. Which source I choose for those depends on the subject. If it's a local issue, I try to find a local source.

 

[jackoroe]

The National Enquirer. They had the Clinton/Lewinsky story and the John Edwards story first and got both right! Top that NY Times!

Palbert. Why no NPR? Out of curiosity?

Once I was listening to BBC @ 5 or so in the AM and it had a "breaking story" on a subject important to me; I mean they were totally on top of it. When NPR came on @ 6 AM they didn't have the story yet and were just using very old info. I then realized it had become a formulaic crutch with the balls of a snowball. BBC will confront an interviewee head on; NPR will give the guy hosannas for being on the interview and totally ignore that he may have committed genocide. So I haven't turned on a radio for about 18 months. For winter weather (life-shaping up here) I rely on a weather radio.

 

[palbert]

And you couldn't tell one day from the next.

When it comes to objectivity about the U.S., which do you feel is the most objective?

I understand the very narrow view that is not up to date. I still ike their point of view because often they bring a much more intellectual viewpoint. I like a hard hitting journalist who will go after a interview but I also like a venue for the person in the news telling their story. Sometimes things are contrived.

I dont have cable either... it is a waste of brain cells and money.

 

[chance1]

Morning Joe in the am - watch a bit then have it on my iPhone via satellite radio - love it

read Huff Post app on my iPhone

NY Post for sports - awesome

at night my cable news is a combo of CNN and MSNBC with a sprinkle of Fox

keeps me well armed IMO

 

[maxpowr9]

Having yahoo as my homepage is all I really need, unless there is a tangential story that I can get a "local perspective" on (like BBC or The Independent for UK news). I will add towleroad (although a blog) for my "gay" news.

I avoid any televised news programming as I don't have the patience or sanity to sit and watch psychobabble and grief porn for hours on end.

 

[Jack Springer]

• Local newspapers on-line
• TV: CNN, FoxNews, MSNBC, BBC America
• Internet (news and blogs): Drudge Report (most complete list of newspapers, columnists, etc.), Daily Caller, Redstate, Daily Kos, Politico, Daily Beast
• Radio: whatever news station is on -- don't really listen to NPR anymore

 

[evanrick]

Fox news spends a lot of time propgating lies, MSNBC spends a lot of time dispelling them.

Its hard finding a place where you can simply get facts, but i dont need to know the facts, i just need to know that conservative sources of news are not news.
