News Sources

[kalm]

Outside of the obvious non-biased places (Rolling Stone, Truthout, Common Dreams, Salon ) what's your latest go-to for news and politics?

I've been hitting up The Intercept and Republic Report a little lately but they are both too narrowly focused. Atlantic Monthly and the Baffler have some great writing but arent as current.

I'm tired of the sensationalistic, infotainment, and yes often left leaning sites like Yahoo and Huffpo.

What say you?

[YoUDeeMan]

I don't really have a go to source. I Google things and then follow tangents. Foreign sources give great perspectives.

I also like reading the links some folks post (Chizzy likes to spout "facts" while pretending links don't exist ), and then following them down the rabbit hole. That tends to give perspective from both sides, and then you can bland in the foreign view point to come to the only logical conclusion:

Obama is not CHANGE. Chump change, maybe, but certainly not CHANGE.

[ASUG8]

Mine are unfortunately pretty straightforward:
ABC
CBS
NBC
CNN
Fox
Yahoo
Guardian

I'm a little like Cluck with chasing down obscure things at times. Lots of times I'll have a tab open for news and a Wiki page for reference along with a Google map tab to find out where some of the events are happening. I could spend all day looking at Google maps.

-Talk radio
-Drudge
-FNC
-WSJ
-Local paper (it leans left)

[ALPHAGRIZ1]

I do my own reporting and research. I rarely read the lefts toilet paper tabs...........

BBC

WaPo
Whatever grabs my attention on the Google News homepage.

I read the Chicago Tribune on a regular basis. I'll check articles in the NY Times and WSJ occasionally. The Washington Post Writers Group has some excellent opinion pieces from different perspectives. I have HBR, the Economist and Fareed Zacharia on my Facebook feed. When I travel overseas I'll read the International Herald Tribune and watch CNN and BBC. I browse Yahoo and MSN but for fluff pieces and not for hard news or opinions. Like Cluck, I'll follow the links that others provide here to help expand my understanding and perspective.

I also try to read/listen to books on a variety of subjects so I can take a longer term view of things rather than knee-jerk reactions to the latest developments.

[Pwns]

Time Magazine
CNN, Fox News sites
CS.com

I do indulge in some partisan sources, even some lefty sites like Raw Story and Think Progress.

[BlueHen86]

I don't have one go-to source. I tend to be all over the place, although I seldom watch FoxNews or MSNBC.

[SDHornet]

Only agencies that are fair and balanced.

Just kidding, pretty much anything as everything has its own spin...and its all pretty much garbage as far as I'm concerned.

Kalm asks about NEWs Sources and

1) somehow I come up as subject matter
2) Leading to "Rabbit Holes" of arbitrary reference
3) And then something about "bland" foreign sources..?
4) Then vague mention of logical conclusions
5) Closed out by extreme Obama neurosis (just for frosting on the crazy cake)

Yikes... you're sounding more and more like this guy everyday

[CID1990]

I get my news from pretty much everywhere.

I get my opinions from myself

[Ivytalk]

WMDT and WBOC, Salisbury, MD!

[Vidav]

I really don't care about the news so rarely look for anything.

Add AP, Atlantic, The Hill, Der Speigal and The Onion.

[Ibanez]

And I'll admit. I'll read links off of Drudge Report and then go find an article on the same event, person (whatever) somewhere else. I like reading both points of view.

Okay.

Okay.

I'll also mention Yahoo because it links to a lot of other sources AS WELL AS has odd news articles.
