What source(s) do you use to get your news and information?

My homepage on the Internet which is bellsouth.net

I love current.com for interesting “pods” from the US and around the world. I also visit CNN daily.

CNN is my homepage.

Great way to start the internet – see the headlines, maybe read an article or two.

here are some of my faves…dont hate me cause i love knowledge…

The Best of Eyetrack III:
What We Saw When We Looked Through Their Eyes
News websites have been with us for about a decade, and editors and designers still struggle with many unanswered questions: Is homepage layout effective? ... What effect do blurbs on the homepage have compared to headlines? ... When is multimedia appropriate? ... Are ads placed where they will be seen by the audience?

Since I mostly use my iPhone, I have to say foxnews.com. It has the best iPhone enabled news site in my opinion. Other sources, NYC papers.

NPR, HuffingtonPost, Google News

I use the SFGate/Chronicle for my local news, NY Times for the great writing, and the BBC Americas for the facts. It’s a crime to report the news unfactually in the UK = NO LIES.

Something Fox (Faux) News knows nothing of.

Oh it didn’t take long for a rascally little liberal to come up with a clever one. The New York Times is one most slanted papers & I thought you were smart enough to not have the ole “BBC Facts” wool over my eyes. See the difference is, I will admit that there is a media bias on all fronts and you will never get unbiased opinions. You think that only the conservative outlets are biased, but the rest are fair. Don’t you think that you’re being a tad bit naive?

geez, artemisdivine, how do you have the time to look at all of those sites? and wouldn’t you end up seeing the same stuff?

@vanguardian

I go to the NY Times for their non-political writing. I really like the interesting stories they find on topics I normally wouldn’t read about. And I don’t think I’m being naive. I understand that all media will have a bias, but it’s widely accepted that FOX pulls some crazy s**t, on a pretty consistent basis. Not to mention all the Jerry Springer style garbage they put on the front page.

In any case, to each his own. And there’s no need for name calling. Nothing I did was rascally nor am I little.

I listen to alot of talk radio. I listen to POTUS 08 on XM, in the morning I flip through Bill Bennett, Bill Press, Alex Bennett and Mike Church, all on Sirius. In the afternoon, I listen to Thom Hartmann, Ed Schultz, and very little Sean Hannity( just to see what propaganda he is spreading).

I get my news, mostly from the internet, via Rawstory.com, Commondreams.org, Cnn.com, NJ.com, and alot of my so called “conspiracy theories,’’ come from Prisonplanet.com. For those of you who have heard of Alex Jones, he is a little too extreme for me, but his website prisonplanet.com has alot of articles from various major news sites throughout the country supporting alot of his claims. I dont trust any of the articles that him or his partners write without proof from somewhere else too. Alot of his theories do seem to be taking place.

A very surprising story that Fox News did September 2006. This should be covered every day. I am no fan of fox at all, but this was a great story that was an hour long documentary on HBO called Hacking Democracy.

I actually refuse to watch fox no matter what is on. I used to love alot of their shows, but gave it up. I also got rid of myspace. This is worth taking a look at though.

@spargett

Fair enough. By the way, the name calling was meant in a playful way.

Although I don’t agree with Matt Drudge’s politics, his site breaks many headlines 1–3 days before “network news” here in the States, and offers a glimpse at the international opinion of our foreign policy.
