I'm young, growing out of some demographics I guess (just turned 31). I flip through the news channels, read the paper when it's around and read articles online.
When I find something interesting in the news, I look it up online and find the same article, word for word in several places, sometimes with a little variation. If this is the difference in news for the young and old, I see no difference.
I have several problems with the news. Local tv news is laughable no matter where you are. Local news anchors are completely fake. The stories they cover are ridiculous sometimes. In general, all formats of the news are just headlines with no story. Follow ups are rare, even with very interesting, unusual stories.
Anyone have suggestions for credible online news sources that might have something different to say? Where is a good place to find a discussion on news, current events and maybe find some updates?
