2005-01-21, 3:37 PM #1
Well... where?

for me it's a mix of:

CNN
CNN.com
Al-Jazeera.com
UN.org
The Economist
sometimes FOX, especially if I want to laugh
The Atlanta Journal Constitution
The New York Times
Creative Loafing (News for the Weird is the best!)

If there's any on while I'm in front of the TV (any standard UK channel) I'll watch
Metro <-- free newspaper on the tube every morning
Guardian (usually just weekends)
[url]www.bbc.co.uk[/url]

oh, and radio 4 is on pretty much constantly in the kitchen, so I get weird random tidbits every time I go to make a cup of tea

The Daily Show with Jon Stewart..


Although I'm not really "getting" my news from it. It's just the only "news" program I stand to watch without hearing partisan bickering.

Besides TV, mostly I get news through message boards and follow the links they provide to news sites such as:

BBC
FOX News
MSNBC
CNN
etc.

There is no other.

Although I usually keep tabs on news.com.au, abc.net.au/news, bbc.co.uk, and I read at least one newspapper minimum 6 days a week.

Either Fox News or CNN. It depends which one the TV turns on to.

Usually FOX or random newspapers. I probably don't keep up with it as much as I should...

LCN (local), BBC, BBCC, TV5 (french), and occasionally CNN.
The music industry is a cruel and shallow money trench where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side.

But in broadsheet format, generally, rather than the internet. Most days of the week I'll read the first few pages, and the letters page, but some days I'll read the whole front of the paper (the "news" section, as opposed to the "pointless frippery" sections such as lifestyle, sports, comics, blablabla)

Also links to stories from outraged people both here and at [url]www.straightdope.com[/url]
