What source do you rely on for your news?

Answer 1

Mostly Fox News & Internet.

Answer 2

No one should rely on one source to be completely accurate. It is human nature to be biased and the only way to look at the true story is by taking multiple sources, find what both have to say, and find a common ground that would show what is truly going on.
I use CNN, Fox News, Local news, MSNBC and others

Answer 3

I learned a long time ago not to rely on one source for my information. I especially avoid national broadcast news. The local news doesn't spend a lot of time on one subject and are concerned about keeping viewership through a broad-based telecast. I read different newspapers, and scan the Internet. I do my own research and with enough info I will be able to form my own opinion rather than have a talking head tell me what they think. You have to discern for yourself which news outlet is most closely aligned to you. I don't like any socio-political influences on my news sources, that's why I "shop around" for my news.

Answer 4

As far as the print media is concerned I found that The Christian Science Monitor is the most objective and non judgemental paper for facts and information. The times, LA or NY are a bunch pf Liberals who spin everything their way, the Wall Street Journal is good and is getting better with regards to real important news that affects business around the world and they have a great weekend section that gets printed on Friday.

Answer 5

Print News:
The Economist - Must read for everyone, not too dry.
Time - Occasional relevant story's. Good for US politics.
The Week - Rundown of top news stories in the world. OK, but not great.
Wired Magazine - Good balance between tech and business news.
Los Angeles Times - when I'm motivated to read a newspaper.

General News:
Yahoo! News: http://news.yahoo.com
CNN: http://cnn.com

When I'm really bored:
BBC: http://www.bbc.co.uk/?ok

Music:
Pitchfork: http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/
Great site for music reviews. Not the typical bland rolling stone babble. A little bit snobby, but if you're into it you'll love it. They have a great free download selection for new artists.

Movies:
Rotten Tomatoes: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/
Best movie review site. Uses critics from around the US/world reviewing every movie that comes out. It also has a huge fan base that independantly reviews movies. It's a good balance of professional and personal opinions. The Splat meter is a quick index to see if a movie is worth seeing or not. After reading about 5-10 reviews, you can get a very accurate feel if a movie is worth seeing.

Also, I'm connected to a lot of blogs that pertain to specific subjects I am interested in. For my favorite sports teams, I have local newspapers saved in my bookmark folders.

Answer 6

I rely on many sources for my news on whats happening. I first hear about it on television or read in the newspaper and then I might research more about it on the web using Yahoo or AOL, etc...

Answer 7

You don't rely on just one source. You use all the sources you can to be able to make the best judgement for yourself. Newspapers, TV, Internet, Radio

Answer 8

ABC News (local and National), CNN, Area Newspapers, and The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.

Answer 9

Many different sources. The more sources I get for a story, the better idea I have of what actually happened.

Answer 10

National Public Radio. They may have a slight left slant but they seem to try hard to repress it. I feel I get more information about topics through them. I also watch Fox News, and CNN they seem to cancel each other out but at least some information is gleaned.

Answer 11

Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh and Rusty Humphries.
