What sources for news do you mostly use? I mainly use CNN.com, Yahoo news and Fox news, but I'd like to start branching out a little more. I like Drudge's assortment of news sources, but I get tired that they're all slanted one way. 11/26/2013 1:38:03 PM |

I think The Week magazine does a good job of summarizing how multiple sources (biased both ways) cover the headline stories. Also, Reuters, BBC, Christian Science Monitor (surprisingly) 11/26/2013 1:41:38 PM |

Al Jazeera English, The Guardian, Democracy Now, NPR (not so much, anymore).
Major American media outlets are a horrible source of information, in my opinion. A great source for large graphic headlines, though. 11/26/2013 1:49:00 PM |

CNN.com and WRAL.com are my main online news sources. NPR & BBC are my main radio news sources. News & Observer and Qnotes are the newspapers I check most often.
I do regularly read some LGBT blogs, but I wouldn't quite file those under the news category, any more than I would file TWW, facebook, or twitter as news sites. But sometimes those sources will prompt me to research stories I wouldn't have heard about otherwise through real news sources. 11/26/2013 10:05:29 PM |

General news is Yahoo because it's my homepage. CNN for major world events. The Atlantic, Slate, Salon, Reason, Mother Jones for more in-depth stuff and politics. Sometimes Alternet. Digg, Mashable, io9 more for entertainment. The Atlantic is probably my favorite. They have great photo series of world events and photo contests. 11/27/2013 5:18:47 PM |

I'm fairly confident that Smath was joking.
That said, News: NPR, Rachel Maddow, Lawrence O'Donnell Entertainment: Rush Limbaugh, Redstate, Fox News/Nation, Breitbart

I didn't want this to be a criticism of one's sources. But if you're gonna make fun of The Blaze then you're gonna have to make fun of Mother Jones too. Not that I personally use either one, but they are both on the far edges of the politics to which they subscribe. 11/28/2013 12:29:46 PM |

Mother Jones is a legitimate, left leaning source. They broke the 47% Mitt Romney thing. They are actually journalists and they still put out print editions. They are the Reason of the left.
The Blaze is a lie factory full of fake reports and shitty journalism. It's more apt to compare it to AlterNet or something. 11/28/2013 12:52:13 PM |
