Why don't you read newspapers?

Question

For those who don't read newspapers-- why don't you, and where do you get your news instead?

Answer 1

I don't read the newspaper (unless the comics count). I don't really hear abuot the news too much, unless I catch it on tv. Sometimes I watch it on tv beofre I go to school but that's pretty much it. Al of the headlines on the newspaper are always so many people were killed today. It's too depressing to read.

Answer 2

The main reason is it is not reliable ; and because it is dominated by a biased , liberal , drive-by media - who , many times have been exposed for making up a story to further their politics . When I read anything , others tell me it happened three days ago . . It's never current ; valid ; or impartial . I had narrowed it down to the comics , but had to give that up too , because even they have a political agenda . I am debating on how to keep up with on-going sales / and / or store coupons when I do cancel my newspaper .I stopped reaching for the newspaper first thing in the morning , quite awhile ago . I don't even miss it . Why would you miss trash ?

Answer 4

Most media is bias and sensationalized to make a profit. True info is hard to find without seriously looking for it. I am a Conservative so I get most of my info from the net and talk radio.

Sample below...


Probable U. S. presidential candidate, Barack Hussein Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii to Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., a black Muslim from Nyangoma-Kogel, Kenya and Ann Dunham, a white atheist from Wichita, Kansas. Obama's parents met at the University of Hawaii.

When Obama was two years old, his parents divorced. His father returned to Kenya. His mother then married Lolo Soetoro, a radical Muslim from Indonesia. When Obama was 6 years old, the family relocated to Indonesia. Obama attended a Muslim school in Jakarta. He also spent two years in a Catholic school.

Obama takes great care to conceal the fact that he is a Muslim. He is quick to point out that he was once a Muslim, but that he also attended Catholic school.

Obama's political handlers are attempting to make it appear that Obama's introduction to Islam came via his father and that this influence was temporary at best. In reality, the senior Obama returned to Kenya soon after the divorce and never again had any direct influence over his son's education. Lolo Soetoro, the second husband of Obama's mother, Ann Dunham, introduced his stepson to Islam. Obama was enrolled in a Wahabi school in Jakarta. Wahabism is the radical teaching that is followed by the Muslim terrorists who are now waging Jihad against the western world.

Since it is politically expedient to be a Christian when seeking major public office in the United States, Barack Hussein Obama has joined the United Church of Christ in an attempt to downplay his Muslim background.
