Papers: The New York Times and Wall Street Journal.
I don’t watch any cable news outlet, and I fact check everything I read from paper media on the internet. I also frequent several discussion websites where news is discussed, and I get a healthy dose of news in several of my classes at school.
There are also a few indie, local papers I read for entertainment that are ridiculously biased, but fun, and they are still subject to my internet fact checking.
Mostly on the internet. It allows me to research info on a story if it seems to be biased. Sometimes I may catch it on the news channels but then I look it up on the internet to see if there is more than one side to the story. To many news channnels seem to amp up a story to raise interest and loose some of its credibility, by making assumptions or inuendos, for me.
From a variety of sources. I get local news from the paper my brother works for (which I won’t be posting on the Interwebs.) I go to BBC for the majority of my news, though. I also enjoy reading my campus’ newspaper (though I dislike many of the opinion pieces they have published.) I scan Google News periodically throughout the day. Other papers I don’t check regularly, I access through Alltop.
I don’t watch televised news, unless you count The Daily Show.
I’m addicted to reading entertainment news on OhNoTheyDidn’t. Horrible, I know.
95% from Google Reader. 5% from TV.
I mostly get news from other people or the internet. I don’t watch any news on television or read any newspapers because of my husband’s deployment.
From people talking behind me at Wal*Mart.
I usually go here
But seriously, I usually use Google News or my local paper. My local paper is extremely biased though.. :(
@janbb Very good!! I listen to talk radio and read google news. The new oil slick is on the radio.
Ha ha… A lazy person like me like to hear it from others (kidding!). I prefer to search for it on internet since it provides more accurate data,and will minimalize the speculation issue,you have to know that our reporters are not totally objective toward some issue,occasionally,they will propagandanize and add their own selfish/narrow-minded perspective in some issue.
Locally, the paper. Everything else, everywhere else. There are so many sources now I can pick and choose, sometimes I’m just overwhelmed.
Sometimes from The Real News You know, cause it’s real, I guess. Usually just from Wikinews. I usually don’t know about big events till people mention them.
Wink( for local), CNN for world, YA for for other stuff. I also like BBC ocassionally
NPR, Google News, random posts made by friends, and a very savvy husband. If I see something interesting, I investigate it further from other sources.
I get most of my misinformation, hoaxes, conspiracy theories and outright lies from my mother-in-law who likes to forward stuff, especially whatever Beck or Limbaugh said recently.
I make a point each evening to watch my local and international news. And it’s always BBC
