I still have Documentary Channel, I guess. I don't mind any other news source, but god help you if you watch Fox News. I want to remove Geraldo's moustache and strangle him with it. |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2348 Joined: 21 Aug 2008    | I get my news from a combo of places, CNN, ABC, NBC, FOX (only for local news), and occasionally BBC America. you can't take the word of any one of them as the absolute truth so I find it best to take a look at the general consensus of all the news networks. |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1503 Joined: 29 Jun 2008    | I usually look online, on the BBC RSS Feed that comes with Mozilla Firefox. On TV...CNN usually, but they're an American large news network, therefore pretty pro-Israeli, and right now I just want to hear what is happening. But for everything else, especially politics. I hate Fox.
Nice thought. |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2013 Joined: 24 Sep 2008   | CBC and BBC, mostly. Occasionally I read the Vancouver Sun but that's only because it's more common here than the Globe and Mail, which I far prefer. As a communications major, I know better than to trust any of them (particularly the Vancouver Sun), but at least they're not as bad as television news or nearly any American news source other than NPR. |

You wish you had those glasses. |
Beat Writer  Posts: 212 Joined: 25 Sep 2008   | call me strange but I barely see a difference between fox and all the other major news outlets. They all seem to run the same stupid fluff stories that have no actual importance to anything and when they do talk about something important it is usually spewing out of the idiot section ie bill o'reilly or Nancy grace. |

Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 762 Joined: 15 Oct 2008   | I like to watch and read CNN everyday, in addition to reading the newspaper. |
Beat Writer  Posts: 141 Joined: 9 Jan 2009   | A mixture of Stephan Colbert, Friends, and CNN EDIT: Friends as in friends from school and such, not the TV show |
Paperboy  Posts: 46 Joined: 13 Jan 2009    | I watch the first half hour of the Today show in the morning (you know, the part where they do actual news). But other than that, INTERNETS AHOY! |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 884 Joined: 19 Sep 2008   | I usually flick between the 24hour Sky and BBC channels, to get the full story. As a matter of interest, what is the giant beef with Fox news? I've heard it being ripped off it hundreds of places, but as a non-American I have never watched it. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2108 Joined: 13 Dec 2007   | Many places! I read headlines of most newspapers around here, and articles of The Georgia Straight. I also read the websites of CBC, BBC, and Al Jazeera, occasionally checking out BAGNewsNotes. I'm on the emailing lists of three liberal groups who like sending me information. I also watch CBC News, BBC World News, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, Countdown with Keith Olbermann, and rarely CTV and Global news when I feel like vomiting. Purps says I keep pretty up-to-date. |

Beat Writer  Posts: 222 Joined: 27 Oct 2008  | I read three newspapers a day, small circ local, large circ local, and national. My car radio is always tuned to NPR, and watch BBC and CNN religiously. Also my editors, colleagues and my own two eyes. I'm a journalist, and frankly a bit bothered(worried) that you categorized the entire Print world as other. Don't know how you could have done it otherwise, but as the layoffs get closer to my desk I get more paranoid. ps- to all of those who said their newspapers, I love you people |
Beat Writer  Posts: 157 Joined: 12 Jan 2009 | I normally go on Yahoo, as they have all the headlines and stuff on their front page. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1419 Joined: 12 Sep 2008  | BBC and CNN mostly. Though occasionally I read some stories from Saint Petersburg Times (Russia) and the occasional Pravda article and sometimes whatever weirdness is spilling out of the PRC News Corps. |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 931 Joined: 17 Sep 2008  | On the rare occurance that I actually want to know about something about the world, I'm assuming you mean news to do with current events and such not news about technology, I will listen to a BBC world podcast. I have listen to 1 podcast so far. Other than that I may scan over the local or national rag. |
Infamous Scribbler Posts: 518 Joined: 15 Dec 2007   | I check the sources. |
Pulitzer Laureate Posts: 706 Joined: 8 Sep 2008  | fox "news" may be evil, but youve gotta admit, geraldo has some awesome sunglasses. generally though i trust different people on different things. the escapist is pretty good for what they cover, the daily show is generally OK, as is the colbert report... but there is no single source, theyre all lying bastards. except for fox of course, theyre in a league of their own. |
Copy Clerk Posts: 63 Joined: 2 Jul 2008  | I usually lock onto a story, and just read as much as I can; blogs, newspapers, websites and such. I don't pretend I listen to both sides, anyone who says that is usually full of horseshit and tries to look smart. I just read something, make an opinion, then keep reading to see how it holds up to what develops out of it. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1786 Joined: 13 Sep 2008   | Mostly local news. Lithuanian Morning, Vilnius Day, 15 Minutes. I also watch TV3 and LNK news. I sometimes check all other news sources, except for the BBC. They're red evil. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1180 Joined: 21 Oct 2008 | I watch "The Day Today" and read the BBC news website. I never read newspapers, bad for you're health. |

I get my news from the voices in your head too. And yes, I do know what you were doing last night, and you should be very, very ashamed. |
Copy Clerk Posts: 100 Joined: 6 Jan 2009 |
i should be ashamed because i went to sleep? |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1409 Joined: 16 Dec 2008  | I watch cnn for the most part because canadian news bores the shit out of me and it is the only full 24 news network I get besides canadian news. Do not confuse the normal CNN channel with it's affiliate CNN Headline news, this is a channel soley dedicated to the Caylee Anthoney Case, a case that normal people shouldn't give a damn about, fucking disgusting with its head figure, Nancy "The Bitch" Grace. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1409 Joined: 16 Dec 2008 |
Nancy Grace?! you think that bitch reports anything worth a damn? Have you SEEN her show? All about one missing little white kid or a celebrity death. |
