I wish I could have picked more than one...it's a very complicated hierarchy of news. CNN on, perennially. NYT first web visit, BBC better and second to catch everything the Times didn't. And
uh, Fox News for a laugh. I'm sorry the headlines on their website. Price. less.
Well, I get a lot of it from talk radio. The hubby and I work from home so, we listen to Boortz, Rush, Hannity, and Michael Savage. We also do a lot of online research. I also check out Fox
news (but to me they have been becoming more and more liberal). (Btw., the Pew Report stated...Rush's facts are something like 99% to 98% correct.) I realize some people can't stand listening
to him, but once you understand he is making fun of himself (he becomes way less annoying) but most importantly he makes a lot of sense, and his facts are really facts. I really love Hannity.
All I want is the facts, and I'm so over the liberal media (giving their opinions, not reporting on stuff that needs to be reported (but since it doesn't fit their agenda...they just don't do
it), or they report just half the facts...and this happens with basically every news outlet and news paper in our country...including Fox News. I could really go on a serious rant here about
that...but I won't.
BB, I could join you on your rant.
I also listen to a lot of talk radio but it's local. There's a really right wing host, a right central host, and a liberal twosome that I listen to, and sometimes NPR if I want to fall
asleep.
For reading I like the Economist. They seem to be the least biased to me. And I have really searched. I think it helps that it is based in Britain.
I said Google News because I like that it directs you to different stories on the same topic. I also read the Express (a free "mini-paper" put out by the Washington Post) every morning on the
way to work. I try to watch NBC Nightly News every night, but a lot of that tends to be more human interest oriented. If I'm watching a 24 hour news network, I'll usually go for Fox News
first, MSNBC second.
I am a news junkie, so I check several times a day Drudge. I also watch fox news at 6:00PM EST, with Britt Hume. I have probably a dozen blogs I visit every day, many are folks serving in, or
living in Iraq and Afghanistan. Over the last few years I have culled out the most reliable ones, those that give the bad with the good. I also go to sites like Slate, where I can get some
reasoned incites as well. I also like to track down the original source or quotes if I deem the controversial to see if they are in context. I used to like MSNBC until they became knee jerk
predictable.
I have a real mix. A lot of talk radio, in the car and often in the office. I have a Google page set up with quite a few different feeds, including a "Top Stories" gadget, Reuters, BBC, The
Economist, Also, occasionally BBC news in the evening. I don't subscribe to any major newspapers, just our small local one.
I turn on Fox when I get up usually about 5:am Mountain. I like Doocey's irreverance, Kilmead's blank look and the girl in the middle who is totally interchangeable and usually irrelevant
since E.D. Hill got her own show. After about thirty minutes they've given what will be on the rest of the day (barring an outbreak of something).
I read the local newspaper after breakfast (obits & comics). Small town rag, cop shop report a week behind and edited, etc. Then read our state-wide paper for local news. I know that
sounds weird but it's true. We are a State of just under 2,000,000 population and I've lived here since it was fewer than 500,000 so it's all basically local. Even if Bill Richardson is our
Guv. HA!
We have no faith in AP (I know it wasn't a choice) but they once again had a map in today's paper identifying Arizona as us, New Mexico. I guess another example of today's education or lack
thereof. But that's a whole other blog!
I agree about the complicated hierarchy. I have a yahoo mail account, so I usually skim the headlines of Yahoo news first in the morning, then I'll check two local newspaper sites, and
depending on the day I'll usually drop by nytimes.com, I look at the bbc headlines via mozilla drop down, of course I'll skim good ole' citizen sugar when I get home in the evening my husband usually has either fox news or cnn on, which I
promptly have to turn off or he usually breaks something (hehe)
i can't stand watching the news on tv. i've been reading the paper since i was 5 but now that i'm in college i'm too poor to afford one so i get my news off the internet yahoo and msn and of
course here
Liciababe, the Drudge Report is an excellent start for a news search. He has links to all the major news agencies, and news papers from around the nation and the world. He also links to EVERY
major columnist in the U.S. Contrary to popular opinion as expressed in the MSM, his site is not right wing, or left wing, it is a treasure trove of current events. He gets his “Conservative”
rap because he will actually publish items the MSM have tried to bury as being “not newsworthy”, when they mean exposes the foibles of the favored as well as the despised.

I tend to follow Drudge myself. Not the only place I go, but usually my first stop in the morning.
1Fox News and Yahoo.com!
2I like drudge.
3Hi Shop, I revised the poll and added Yahoo News and Google News. They slipped my mind, but thanks for throwing Yahoo out.

5I love me some Drudge! I also like Yahoo.
Absolute power, corrupts absolutely.
6Hey Citizen, is there a way to set-up polls with more than one choice?
I was trying to figure that out because it's tough to pick just one, but I wasn't too successful.
7I'm with Shop... those are my sources... Though I find Yahoo to be unbalanced in their headlines.
And I agree with FNC's headlines, they are pretty silly... if I see "terror in the midwest" one more time when a tornado hits....ergh!
8Al Jazeera! So, other.

Red, I'll definitely check out the Economist. Thanks.
Oh, we also get news from the Drudge Report. I forgot to state that in my earlier comment.

13I watch Fox News, and occasionally I watch CBN (Christian Broadcast Network) for my news.
14Hey Sue,
What are your thoughts on CBN? I've never actually watched it and wondered about them.
15I like it. I occasionally will watch the 700 club, and will try to catch the news in the beginning of the broadcast, and I enjoy it.

I also like to track down the original source or quotes if I deem the controversial to see if they are in context. I used to like MSNBC until they became knee jerk predictable.
17I get most of my news from talk radio as well. Local in the morning, Glenn Beck, and Sean Hannity...sometimes Rush and another local guy at night.

20Drudge & Fox. I listen to Glenn Beck & Rush when I'm working.
21its CNN for me. and i'll occasionally listen to NPR radio as I'm drving to class in the morning.
22I also like NPR, I should have had it on my list. It is my main radio station, when I drive.
23I agree about the complicated hierarchy. I have a yahoo mail account, so I usually skim the headlines of Yahoo news first in the morning, then I'll check two local newspaper sites, and depending on the day I'll usually drop by nytimes.com, I look at the bbc headlines via mozilla drop down, of course I'll skim good ole' citizen sugar

24NPR is my favorite. I also read Der Spiegel and the NRC Handelsblad and watch BBC News. Variety being the spice if life I like things mighty spicy.
25i can't stand watching the news on tv. i've been reading the paper since i was 5 but now that i'm in college i'm too poor to afford one so i get my news off the internet yahoo and msn and of course here
