I watch Fox news most of the time but I'd say my "notification" source is probably when I get on line. I have AOL set as my home page and when you get to the home page it has headlines, feature story headlines that follow each other, etc. I think basically there is a "lead" story when you first go to the page then others follow. Like right now when you first get there it's the Ukraine thing.

The stories are usually from the Huffington Post. Some are concerned about a political slant of the Huffington Post but it doesn't matter. Once I see the headline, if I'm interested, I look at a variety of on line sources. I usually like to look at sources I know have philosophical leanings that I don't agree with as well as others.

i also get "notification" stories from Fox news on TV and do the same kind of thing. If I see/hear it on fox news and am interested I will look at accounts of the story from various sources.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?

No, but I do still use aol e mail. I have had the same personal e mail address since the mid 1990s and I like it that way.

I am also satisfied with the priorities AOL typically establishes in terms of which stories it "flags" for your attention. Not that I couldn't find other web pages like that. But theirs does fine.

I also like reading the links some folks post (Chizzy likes to spout "facts" while pretending links don't exist :ohno: ), 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.
:dunce:

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

Actually, I have no idea of who that is. :nod:

Typically, your limited audience (reduced to the uneducated housewives houndpuppy and HalfWit) responded like lemmings with, "Yeah, what he said, too!"

You're slipping Chizz. :ohno:
These signatures have a 500 character limit?

What if I have more personalities than that?

Main stream news but all sites for differences of opinions....The Drudge Report and BBC...

Drudge Report is usually the news that Fox News hasn't figured out how to get all the accusations into one headline yet.
