Usually the BBC News and the Irish Daily Independent, the paper Victoria Guerin worked for when she was murdered over her story on drugs in Ireland!
I am from the US:
I read the NY Times, The Boston Herald, Boston Globe, Manchester Union Leader and the Concord Monitor
I web most news outlets and stations! I do try and watch Fox News, but can only take it in small doses!
I almost always vote Democrat, but have voted Republican in some local races!

Guardian and Indy...but will level things out with a bash at the Times or Telegraph (and sometimes the Daily Mail - if only to see how e-x-t-r-e-m-e they can get). It's best not to keep at only one section of the press. Mum came over from the Windies in 1949, and like most others of the Windrush period, read the Mirror (and it was indeed a massive organ then)...but the poor dear admired Edward Heath - who was in power when I left school in 1972. She's still a Tory, but like most who watch politics nowadays, she realises the prize of all parties is merely having a front page scream in the populist media, and they all seem to want to take that track, usually dashing away the beliefs that gained them respect for decades.
Decided to go for Lib Dems - but as above, tend to feel only cynicism.
Whilst in Phila. seeing relatives, read the Philadelphia Inquirer - fine morning spread - and the mix of local and national news is excellent.
Jedi master...what skool did you go to?

I try to read as many newspapers as I can as well as watching TV and listening to the radio. Since I've found politicians will do and say anything to be elected I seldom make my mind up on voting until the last minute and then choose what I consider to be the lesser of the political evils. 'Pampurred' is like many people in his statement of who he votes for, the Tories had many faults in their term of office.but the only war they took us into we won and exited ! Maybe he doesn't pay the horrendous taxes imposed by this government so that's okay then

Metro, if I read a paper.
I have a habit of supporting the Greens.
I hold a degree of cynicism toward pretty much all larger corporate backed forms of media, but prefer to navigate this with my common sense.
I tend to support the greens because their views tend to be closest at reflecting my own views on social and environmental issues. Having said that, I vote for the party that is closest to my own ideology rather than being party-loyal.

The Observer( the only non profit newspaper), No political affiliation, lean towards the Greens if any. I`m split 60/40 between US and UK.

I vote for the ones that will never get to power. Oh, it' Lib Dems by the way. Just in case you thought different ;-)
I don't read UK papers for the news. I have Reuters as my homepage. If i do want an old-fashioned read i will buy a paper on the strength of what is on the front page. Or not as is sometime the case.

I usually get news online (BBC news), if I buy a paper it's usually The Guardian. And I voted Lib Dem last time as I didn't like the independent candidate, not that it matters as my constituency has been staunchly SNP since the dawn of time.

Don't read newspapers. I watch the news on t.v. or the internet.
And I vote Labour, always have, always will.
I've watched the other parties very closely, went through the nightmare of the eighties and nineties that was Tory lead and saw the damage they did to this country and its people. We can never let that happen again.
