Where do you go for your daily news?

What do you consider to be the most reliable/honest/objective news source?

If mainstream news isn't covering something, what is a good source for it?

Big surprise... also, this isn't a current event, don't be surprised if it gets deleted.

I hit up the Drudge Report and NPR, usually, with occasional forays to The New York Times, the BBC, the ABC, and Christian Science Monitor.

Canceled my TV subscription back in October. Have not missed it. I have filled my time with more productive things and doubt I would ever have the time to watch TV again.

Other than TV I just get news from the paper.

As did I. The only thing I miss are reruns of Family Guy and the History Channel.

google news on my phone during my morning constitutional, then NPR on the way in. drudge is my homepage, news.bbc.co.uk for good world reporting, NPR on the way home.

Plus here. You guys are always so helpful and objective.

Here, digg.com (although not so much anymore), reddit, and an rss bookmark of dutch news website.
Digg & Reddit aren't proper sources for news though, just interesting to read.

RTE news, BBC news and Skynews even though Sky is owned by FOX it is nowhere near as biased as FOX.

oh..yeah and here.

Oooooo I don't know they do have their moments.

For daily fluff, I usually just hit up the mainstream places like BBC, MSN, CNN, etc...

If it's a particular event I'm interested in (like an international story of some kind) I like to go to international news sources like China Daily, Tehran Times, Novosti, etc...to get the other side of the story. As long as you take it with a grain of salt, then it works. My favorites file is literally filled with news sites from other countries.

I generally rely on the Economist for my weekly news fix, though.

Big surprise...

Big surprise that you're surprised.

OOOOOHHHH no he didn't!

I feel so unoriginal, but frankly CNN.com, BBC.com, and the occasional Google News feed. College kinda sucks because there is really no way to listen to the radio, read the paper, or watch news. I'm stuck online (which isn't totally bad, but it is an inconvenience).

Hmmmm, alternate question: How do college kids get their news?

EDIT: Also, podcasts. Mostly NPR for news, but some others.

Internet, my college cable plan comes with BBC news, and I like the BBC, NPR (online and on radio), also classes, I'm a poli sci major so we talk about current events a lot

[slapnpopbass]

Either on here, the little Vista news feed on my Desktop, or CNN.

[ahaga]

My college sets out hundreds of copies of the NY Times free every day...which is nice.
plus EBWF

I'm a big fan of reading newspapers, though sometimes when I'm just browsing the net things will catch my eye and I'll check them out.

:lmao:

I hope that was sarcasm.

Anyways:

CNN.com

ABCNews.go.com

USAToday.com

Associated Press

Reuters



Anyone with a brain can easily see what is biased and what isn't. CNN is filled with fluff and usually stupid personalities. Fox News is just oozing with bias. Everytime I see it, it feels as if its a pundit show.

you guys better not fuck up.

Mostly newspapers sites, wire services and cable news sites from around the English speaking world. Thats the thing now, you don't have to be force fed your local newspaper or tv news because of the internet.

Being online gives you huge amounts of access to online radio from around the world. Free radio services at that.

CNN.com was my home page for a while, but I'm going to give NYT, Rueters, and Washington Post a try,.

foxnews.com

I take The Onion more seriously than I take Faux News.
