well, first of all, i'm not a right-wing extremist by any stretch of the imagination.

second, it's boring to listen to crap you already agree with.

3/31/2010 5:40:06 PM

^haha, i was jk, but i agree, i like to listen to what the other side is thinking

3/31/2010 5:52:37 PM

Radio - mostly NPR, but to a lesser extent CBS radio news. The local talk/radio station does CBS radio news on the hour, and also some local news. For local affairs I find myself from time to time going to town hall for a town council meeting.

Internet - CNN is by my most visited news website which is as much a function of the user friendly layout as the quality of news. But I do venture to msnbc.com (I hate their site) and foxnews.com from time to time, as well as a few blogs, and obviously I participate on tdub as well.

Commentators - I listen to Maddow, which occasionally causes me to catch some of Hardball or Countdown when they change the schedule around or I leave the TV on while doing something else, but they are too much for me most of the time. Something about their style gets on my nerves as often as not. I turn on CNN sometimes, but never to tune in for a specific program, although Crowley usually seems to have a good head on her shoulders.

3/31/2010 5:53:16 PM

^^ also, I'm glad you have least tacitly admitted that NPR is liberally biased.

Come on, tell us how much of your news you really do get from Rush.

It's hard to categorize all of this b/c of the cross-platform nature of so much news these days. I watch the NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams every night (and have since my dad made me watch Tom Brokaw/Roger Mudd/John Chancellor as a kid during dinner, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZnw7VgEtP4), but I watch it online, usually very late at night.

I get most of my news from either Washington Post online at work or BBC World News Radio in the car (the Virginia Tech public radio station plays BBC News, which is great).

I personally worry about what people relying so much on unpaid bloggers or other non-professional news sources will do to the news industry, so I try to avoid them, but 538 is an amazing site, as are some others including Boing Boing and some of USA Today's blogs. The news needs the best journalists, and to get the best journalists, you have to pay them well.

I have no idea how to figure out how to fix this issue, it's not my field.

I will, however, admit to getting my bullshit gossip news from Wonkette, because it's hilarious.

So...

25% NPR/BBC/ABC Radio News/Fox Radio News during the drive-home sports shows
30% Washington Post/Roanoke Times/Richmond Times-Dispatch
30% Television (watched online or via podcast sometimes, NBC News, the sunday shows, sometimes Al Jazeera online for their documentaries)
15% Other, including blogs

well that pretty obvious that most of them are liberal, but i think they do a much better job at reporting facts, but not a good enough job or engaging the right

3/31/2010 7:06:50 PM

Oh yeah, BBC some too. Occasionally their website, but mostly as a function of having 91.5 as a preset which goes to BBC at night.

I'm basically split down the middle between CNN and NPR.

4/1/2010 12:01:34 AM

Radio - NPR, BBC, Deutsche Welle, local public broadcasting (all through the same station - WAMU-FM)

TV - None (I watch Chris Matthews, Bill Maher, Bret Baier, and the Sunday morning shows, but I wouldn't call that news/information)

Internet - Yeesh. BBC News is my homepage. Most major newspapers and political magazines. And these:

No radio, no TV really for me (as far as getting news). Mostly internet-- Drudge, CNN, Fox, Yahoo, TWW, WRAL and denninger's market ticker. A lot of the background to the news for me comes from law school readings and professors, and then I research via internet, or vice versa. Also get a lot of initial news from Grama, who watches the news all day long, and then I go online and verify it.

Always a good idea when getting information from old people.

4/1/2010 2:14:09 PM

Hey, I said I go and research it, she just ends up picking up a lot of interesting stuff. And don't pick on old people, she's probably not much older than a lot of the news reporters people listen to on a regular basis. That being said, she's just ONE place I get news from, and I never take what she says for hard truth.

NPR only appears to have a liberal bias because that's what reality has

anyway I get about
70% from NPR and (overnight) the BBC World Service (Cincinnati has the most amazing NPR station ever)
25% from the blogosphere, mostly FiveThirtyEight, FactCheck, Politifact, Electoral Vote, The Huffington Post, Crooks & Liars, and whatever they link to
5% from more suspect parts of the Internets, like TWW, Facebook and Twitter status updates, and æ

I only get my news from the cable commentators to the extent to which they are linked to or embedded from the blogs, but I'll watch Washington Journal, Q&A, and The Rachel Maddow Show more if I get cable again.

7/22/2010 12:45:04 AM

ranked:
cnn.com
foxnews.com
wral.com
The Economist (magazine and website)
WSJ (paper and website)
npr
rush radio (occasionally worth listening to, usually complete bullshit)

I don't watch tv news very often, I'll put news 14 on in the background sometimes.

7/22/2010 1:26:04 AM

Back when I lived in a land where the NPR station didn't have anything good on from 3-6p I listened to Rush then

he was worth a lawl

7/22/2010 1:57:11 AM

50% Internet - Drudge Report, Washington Post, NY Times, BBC, Al Jazeera, Chosun Ilbo
35% Radio - NPR
10% Magazines - Economist, AWST
5% Message Board - TWW

Blogs - 30%
Magazines (Scientific American, Discover, Wired, Atlantic, Harpers, Slate) - 30%
TWW - 15%
Google News - 15%
Other - 10%

Most of the news I actually follow any more is science, technology, and culture. I'm not really a "front page" kinda guy any more. Newspapers and News-feeds are basically all just facts anyways, which are actually less useful than you might think.
