Not to try and control your answers (I hate that) but I am just curious, and am not interested in insults toward others about their choice of political information sources. Thank you!
Guess I should state what I watch and read to start things off:
TV:
Tucker, Hardball and Countdown w/Keith Olbermann
C-Span when I have the patience or something of import is being discussed
UN World Chronicle
I check out O'Reilly and Hannity from time to time to see what the right is talking about.
Internet:
Snopes and Smoking Gun to check out rumors
Washington Post, NY Times
Reading:
Time, Newsweek and US & World Report

Of course I also watch the basic news on MSNBC, not just the talk shows, should have mentioned that :).

Most so called liberals will list a wide variety of shows such as you did. I am the same. I watch or listen to nearly every source of information. Even to those I totally disagree with. Most conservatives, on the other hand are very limited in their source of information. If they were open to all news, they probably wouldn't consider themselves conservatives any longer.

TV: CNBC and Bloomberg.
Newspapers: Wall Street Journal, Investors' Business Daily, occasionally the FT, and Barron's.
These sources are objective and accurate - their goal is to help pragmatic readers who aren't interested in whether what happened is good, bad, right or wrong but just need to know the facts so they can make the most informed investment decisions.
The NY Times, Boston Globe, Washington Post, Time, Newsweek and CNN want you to conclude that the political Left is correct and Fox wants you to conclude that the political Right is correct.

First, let me say that most of your TV news sources are not news but talk shows.
I watch for news in this order:
MSNBC
Headline news
CNN
I use the internet for research to verify things that I have heard in the news.
In print I read the local newspaper for news.

Democrats think all conservatives watch Fox News. EDIT: I wasn't calling you a democrat. I was making a statement.
TV:
local news
Internet:
MSNBC, CNN
Reading:
I don't read the Houston Chronicle anymore. I just can't stand their type of "reporting"
I read Newsweek just because we have them in the lobby at work.

got to break your rule for this since it was already done...
"Most conservatives, on the other hand are very limited in their source of information. If they were open to all news, they probably wouldn't consider themselves conservatives any longer. "
this is one of the most elitist assine statement I have ever read..
well unless you are talking about only listening to the liberal MSM and getting brain washed then I guess it has some validity.

I like Glenn Beck. He openly says he's conservative, but he doesn't have a bias to either party. I agree with him most of the time. Plus, he's entertaining.
