I read online sources for newspapers and television news. I generally watch whichever news fits my arrival at home.... either 6:30 or 7:00.
I don't trust any single news source to give only the facts. Comparing and contrasting the different coverage usually gives a close-to-accurate picture of reality, though.

I browse through many of them but...
I'm beginning to think al Jazeera has something going for it. It's the only news channel which has been hacked by the people who disagree with its reporting and has lost its web hosting service.
To get that much attention it had to be doing something right.

I listen in depth to what PPtard, Redtard, and Donkeytard have to say.
Then after I wake up from a cold sweat and crying at the idiocy those monkey fuckers possess. I come to my senses and will read the different view points delivered by CNN, FOX, and the NY times.

So if we hacked into your Lit account that would mean you're doing something right, right?

Re: I browse through many of them but...
Yes, they must be doing quite well. If you visit their english language site right now, they haven't reported a single item regarding today's advances into Baghdad proper, even though it would be approaching 1 am Tuesday local time in the Gulf. In fact, their site hasn't been updated since I last saw it around 10 pm ET on Sunday evening.
As far as where I get my news, I have sites for CNN, BBC, MSNBC, Fox, Al Jazeera, and the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette bookmarked.

CBC NewsWorld - very balanced - in-depth - with such segments as BBC World News - many of my US friends like the Canadian media - for less hoopla, more "fact"-based reportage....

Also, try the Australian & NewZealand media outlets...

The most reliable news source in the world, past present and future. Not to mention some really neat card tricks.
With glasses like that, how could you NOT see the future?

I like the BBC for angles that the US doesn't always get. I also enjoy reading the Rocky Mountain News online. I read the Houston Chronicle online for local stuff, and will check out CNN only once in a while. My schedule clashes with television news and sometimes I'll listen to an all-news radio station to try and catch up while driving. I guess it's pretty much a mish-mash.
For someone who used to subscribe to "Foreign Affairs" I'm pretty out of the news loop anymore.
