Where do you get your news? - Page 2

Interwebz for me..

However i do try to read articles on the same information from different sources. I find quoteing news from one source can turn out to be unreliable and bias in some way or another. As many different angles as possible and try to make up my own mind based on all of the above.

Mostly through the internet :
National:
- Le Monde (left)
- Le Point (center left)
- Le Figaro (right)

International:
- The Guardian
- The New York Times
- Washington Post
- CNN (but more for the ... 'omg they call that news' effect ^^ )

Blogs:
- Crooks&liars (but it's lost a bit of its edge)

Newspaper (which you actually hold with hands):
- Scientific American
- The Economist

Oh and the Daily Show/Colbert report while I'm working

Edit: Edited in a distinction between internet version of newspaper/TV news & other sources, tho a multiple choice would have been more meaningful.

I watch CNN and Euronews, but i ALLWAYS check the forums to see wetter its BS or not. Also, the forums give me better views rather than....Jim clancy????

CNN is my homepage, I also regularly check the BBC. Fark is my source for news with a side of funny and I watch TV news and read magazines like Time and Newsweek.

BBC and the PR forums mainly

CNN seems to be the only one that's remotely unbiased.

(remotely)

Usually just watch the Daily Show on comedy central then look up any interesting stories on the internet myself. =/

The BBC and Al-Jazeera English report pretty unbiased news most of the time.

I can't vote for multiple things sadly, but that's exactly it. Partly TV, partly internet, partly radio, sometimes papers.

Livestation

Have that running above all my windows on Al Jazeera. So i can watch the news while is surf the net for news!!! Its a free program that has Al-jazeera, BBC, France 24 (which has more than just news, they had a doc on how the depression affected brothels a few days ago

) and several other news channels streaming live. You can set it to stay ontop of windows all the time and you can switch channels, get news alerts and feeds all at the same time.

For fun and mind numbing sadness at the same time i sometimes read MonkeySmashesHeaven
