Where do you get your news?

www.reddit.com, www.infowars.com, and less often CNN, MSNBC, or Digg.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/ BBC News, online (used to watch the news but the cable company here in Columbia doesn't carry it) and the Daily Show. And occasionally crazy articles my mother mails me about people I went to high school that got arrested or into grad school or whatever.

www.drudgereport.com
www.realclearpolitics.com
www.breitbart.com

The Daily Show and The Colbert Report for kicks.

I don't get news, it's the government trying to brainwash you.

I like the looks of www.realclearpolitics.com

It's just what I'm looking for, it has articles from both liberal and conservative sources. Excellent.

i think way too many people get their news from the daily show and colbert. not only the just for kicks kind, but like the ONLY news they get.

For unbiased news I read the BBC and the Christian Science Monitor.
For biased news I got back and forth between Fox and MSNBC

Ross, are you totally bummed about the Christian Science Monitor!?

I seldom read any news articles unless I'm really bored, and I use the one mentioned above because it was defaulted into my bookmarks. I'll read over the headlines and look for something interesting. If I'm in the mood I'll read the Science, Nature, and Technology sections, and I usually end up checking on Africa, because shit is always hitting the fan there and it's interesting. Not helping my garrison mentality any, I imagine. The ten pictures of the day thing is great. Every few months I'll read everything that's going on everywhere, the main five or six headlines from each country.

I check the BBC UK section on Africa more than any other website, except the Cult. It's like a car wreck, I can't look away.

I used to read The Age, because I got a free subscription through school.

www.theage.com.au

Sometimes I go through spells where I don't catch the news, and only get news info from the Daily Show and Colbert, so I'm sometimes guilty of that. News can sometimes depress me (actually, it often depressed me since Bush) so I need some mental health breaks to stick my head into the sand.

In order of importance: The Economist, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal

I had a shrink tell me once to quit being such a news junkie, because it gave me anxiety. I scoffed at him, but he was totally right.

http://www.harpers.org/

http://www.newyorker.com/ (but I'm thinking of dropping my subscription because it's a weekly publication and I'm not as into it as I used to be. Plus, most of their stuff is available online for free, so why pay the annual fee?)

http://www.thenation.com/ (sometimes)

http://www.weeklystandard.com/ (sometimes)

http://www.freepress.net/ (my BF just showed this one to me, and I've been reading it more and more)

For laughs, The Onion, The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. Never CNN, but I do watch MSNBC in the mornings while I'm getting ready because I like the noise. Never Fox, never local crap.

the local news is about the only thing i do watch. but i'm watching msnbc tonight because they're having a big 2 hour deal on Jonestown. I find that shit fascinating.

OMG, I was about to say in PA that I'm watching that. I find this kind of thing morbidly fascinating. I might've seen this one before, and if it's the one that has the audio at the end with all the people dying, I'm gonna have to change the channel. Makes me beyond sad to hear all those children.

Nothing like listening to the tape recordings of children dying right before I turn in for the night!

they got 2 hours to fill. I can't see them resisting putting that in there for more creep factor.

I get my news from two sources: my pastor, and from fark.com.

infoshop.org (Nice left wing/anarchist indymedia site. Covers a lot of things that never even come close to getting corporate media time. If you ignore the dash of rabid animal rights folks, a damn good site.)

MSNBC online and CNN online

Daily Show/Colbert Report

The Independent Alligator (A really awful UF paper, but one that's read by the majority of the student body. Mostly to see what the administration propaganda of the week is.)

Can't remember the name offhand, but this alternative paper set up by UF students this year. Left-leaning in a non-mainstream way. Incredibly informative.

The New York Times, when I'm at the corner store and have some change.

Alecia, you read both The Weekly Standard and The Nation? Doesn't that give you whiplash going between a heavily conservative mag and a heavily liberal one? I read both for a while, and I definitely had a case of whiplash.

Bug: Yeah, pretty much. Hence the "sometimes"!

i make up the news, i dont need to read it.

Oh, I didn't even think about independent newspapers:

In Omaha and Lincoln, I read The Reader http://www.thereader.com/ and the Prairie Fire http://www.prairiefirenewspaper.com

In Sarasota I read Creative Loafing http://sarasota.creativeloafing.com

In Columbia I read The Free Times. http://www.free-times.com

Anymore, for TV news I like MSNBC and I like The News Hour on PBS...I watch Morning Joe every morning before going to work, and I finally get a day off to sleep in, and Joe Scarborough says fuck you live on the air...just my luck. I catch The Daily Show and Colbert reruns during the day at work, that is about the extent of the television news, I refuse to watch the networks, and you couldn't pay me to watch Fox or CNN...

Print news, I grab a newsweek at work sometimes, and fucking bestbuy signed me up for a Time subscription without my approval, charging my debit card and everything, so I am still getting the mags even though I cancelled months ago, I think they should be stopping by december...

Anyways, I'd like to get a few decent weekly mags for news, not sure which ones though...

I can't do online news reading, I like print, but I during the election I almost exclusively was checking out Real Clear Politics, and that still seems to be where I visit now...

I also like rocketboom
