Where do you get your news?

[ArtFactoryRadio]

Just curious as to where everyone goes to catch up on current events.

[Homyrrh]

I read the WSJ and the NY Times (shame to say), and usually catch an hour or so of CNN a day. I always try to catch the Factor too.

Why is it a shame to read the NY Times? Yes, the editorial pages are more left than right, but the actual news reporting is good.

There's a reason that it's a newspaper of record.

[Badbird]

I used to watch Headline News all the time in the mornings before work and during lunch. But that channel has just got to tedious and showbiz oriented to watch.

During the day I'll watch MSNBC, Keith Olbermann, Rachel Maddow (sometimes), The Daily Show/Stephen Colbert, and if nothing else is on, Hardball. Sometimes I catch a couple CNN shows on the weekend, since all MSNBC does is Lockup marathons.

I don't read any real newspapers, but I check out Fark and Huffington Post online.

Fark is probably where I get the most straight up "news" stories and current events.

SNL Weekend Update, Daily Show with Jon Stewart and last but not least The Colbert Report

And I really doubt I'm the only one like me.

I could be mistaken, but isn't nearly everything in the Weekend Update all made up?

Yeah, like he said, there's probably a lot of people who watch MSNBC.

[hasselbrad]

I rely on the voices inside my head.

What's that supposed to mean?

I'm somewhat aware of what's being discussed and pushed on Fox, CNN, MSNBC, NY Times, Washington Post, talk radio, etc. but mostly ignore it except as an example of what most people are hearing. Of the mainsteam stars, Rachel Maddow was the only one I could stand, but even her since she got her show has stopped being very substantive, factual, or worthwhile.

[Vong]

Every evening I catch CTV National News before bed, I read the Toronto Star when I'm at work, and I watch the Daily Show for the real news.

[Badbird]

What's that supposed to mean?

That MSNBC isn't a real news channel and it only reports what Obama and other authorized members of the liberal, socialist cabal tell it to.

We're part of a secret group. MSNBC is but one tool we use to spread our agenda. Soon you will know our name...

We are the Communist Liberal Islamic Terrorists for Obama to Rule the United States with Socialism.

Nothing on Weekend Update is made up. Well except for the jokes.

A little bit of Hardball ( I really hate Mathews, especially as of late)
Meet The Press
The Daily Show
The Colbert Report

I am your typical liberal I suppose, maybe excluding Drudge. It's an ugly, and obviously very conservative site (Matt Drudge is a huge tool), but I have been going there for years.

I really hope that is a joke. CNN is probably the most "moderate" of the big 3 news networks. It also is probably the most boring.

Sadly CNN being called the most moderate of the three isn't saying much these days.

I know a lot of republicans like to say MSNBC is a channel made for only Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro. Outside of Maddow and Olbermann though, it really isn't that much different than CNN, which is fairly neutral. I just think the "normal" news shows (MSNBC Live and whatever) throughout the day is slightly better.


Hell, that crazy fucker Pat Buchanan is on about 12 hours a day. I don't mind Joe Scabarough though.

[Brando @$$ Fat]

CNN, but I'm so tired of this twittering bullshit that I might stop watching cable news altogether. I get most useful information from just reading columns. Slate has a lot of really good people, and I used to read Rolling Stone exclusively for the Matt Taibbi columns, but that won't be enough. I guess the switch to online news is inevitable.

So you are telling me that Glen Beck, Lou Dobbs, and Sean Hannity are liars and fucking idiots?! I am shocked!

Unfortunately, people who watch Fox have been completely hoodwinked into actually believing that MSNBC is a "liberal" station just because it has Olbermann on it. They have him on as a rival to O'Reilly. He's just as sensationalistic as O'Reilly, it's just the other side of the spectrum. Even then, how liberal is Olbermann really? How often do you hear him attack the Iraq War? I don't watch on a regular basis, but I haven't heard more than a sentence or two every once in a while when I have watched it. That may have something to do with the fact that MSNBC is owned by General Electric, one of the world's largest arms dealers.

Believe me, if Olbermann ever crossed a line or if his ratings dropped, they'd throw him out the door in a heartbeat.

One way that Fox keeps its viewers hooked is by villainizing the other stations, especially MSNBC just because Olbermann is on it. That's how you stop people from trying to ever see things from another perspective, you tell them that the other side is not only wrong, but that's "evil" or the way Fox likes to put it, "hurting America."

Every time they shut up a guest who's disagreeing with them, turn off their microphone, yell at them until they shut up, or dismiss them as being "anti-America"; they put one more nail on the coffin of honest debate and journalistic integrity.

I like to go to The Guardian.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/

It's one of the best news organizations out there right now, probably very much because it's a non-profit and not owned by a worldwide conservative media conglomerate corporation.

And in a study of 25 British newspapers, it ranked (in 2007) as the best and the most transparent. It's worth checking out!

Hey, I love the quote you made. And yes, you can be pretty clever at times.

[Sgizzy316]

And the topic of politics wins again. People on edge based on where others get their news from. Fact check, wherever you get your news, that program has an agenda. There is no such thing as an unbiased station. I personally prefer CNN so now you can tell where I lean.
