Just wondering where people around here get their news from so we can see how others for their views on issues. Please don't debate whether the site is good or not, just post a few links.
I read these 2 or 3 times a week at least, great sites.

    The dress is gold and white. Over 70% people says so. When viewed from a certain screen angle it appears blue and black. The dress displayed on amazon is a blue and black dress, but it's not the same dress in the picture. If you're seeing blue & black you're slightly colored blind. A normal upright screen = white and gold.

    The Associated French Press (AFP) are also a good, reliable news source. I don't necessarily use them, but the BBC usually cites reports by them on international affairs.

    i use multiple news sites to try get a wider angle on a news subject, any one news site always offers a bias in one or another direction due to the nature of the beast that are political leanings and support for nulab or tories or whatever, then there is the overstaturized sensationalized storyline lines and headlines that are not what they appear.

    i wouldnt trust to look at only one, but multiple sources on something. but when it comes to the case of an actor or actress, its from the source itself, not the media outlets.

    whatever strikes my mood, by random i pick three sources up and go with it doesnt matter if its bbc, washingtonpost or whatever.

    It depends on what sort of news I'm looking for. I subscribe to the LA Times and the Wall Street Journal, and throughout the day I check several news aggregator sites relevant to my industry. Beyond that, whatever comes up on my Bing news feed. All of this gets filtered through a deeply jaded and cynical mind with well-honed critical thinking skills.

    I get alerts on the tablet from BBC and FOX. If I'm curious about something, I hit up news.google.com to check out multiple sources. Generally speaking, though, I no longer bother with the news. You could grab a newspaper from 10 years ago, 20 years ago, 30 years ago, and it will be near the same thing - names might have changed, but the same ol' TRIBBLE going on is the same ol' TRIBBLE going on.

    Naturally. Next best thing to Cat News, right? ;) :P

    I don't follow news sites much. Stuff falls into my facebook feed, and I hear about it from friends and family. When I do go to a news site, it tends to be my local news.

    Depends what kind of "news". For tech news, I hit a variety of sites.

    For general news, I hit my local papers' websites plus sites like http://www.drudgereport.com/.

    Friends and Neighbors...

    And what ever TV channel the patients at work have on, when I walk into their hospital room to assist them.

    I don't usually go out of my way to hear the news, it's waaaay to depressing most of the time.

    I do occasionally look at the local newspaper if someone has happened to leave it laying around in the locker-room at work. (mostly for the obits & comics)

    Ever since 9/11 when I just happen to be up early that morning and had CNN on, I've lost interest in hearing how bat-TRIBBLE crazy the world is.

    Now-a-days, I mostly go to the 'coming soon' site for entertainment news about movies and such.

    Much less depressing.

    :cool:

    Drudge Report
    Hot Air
    National Review (though its more analysis than news)
    Wall Street Journal
    Fox News (the prime-time opinion people are mostly blowhards with 'guests' that are little more than a fountain of talking points, but their serious news people Megan Kelly and Brett Baier are really quite good)

    Yeah I'm biased, but I'm not denying the fact and try to read between the lines. I always hate reading 'news' be people who claim to be unbiased and really aren't. Better to be honest so people know to consider the source.

    My new love, can't miss: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. Wholly TRIBBLE!

    Daily: NPR, BBC, and CBC - The trifecta of balanced, unbiased reporting. Virtually 'professional' pundit free.
    For pundits, I like Morning Joe on MSNBC.

    For a guffaw before i head to bed: Daily Show.

    Weekly: Last Week Tonight, Real Time, occasionally 60 minutes.


    Oddly enough I'm a fiscal Conservative up here above the 49th parallel, but decidedly an Atheist with social democrat tendencies.

      This. :P

      I occasionally hear about something on CNet or local news, but I don't really pay attention to that most of the time.
