News poll: where do you get yours?
Just out of curiosity, where do you get most of your news?
Websites? Which?
Political bloggers?
Magazines or newspapers?
Other?
Re: News poll: where do you get yours?
I'm asking because for the last 2 weeks it seems I am getting most of my news, along with running commentary, here. It's actually simplified some of the current issues I am following- from Kony to Treyvon Martin to the Republican candidates.
I also listen to a lot of satellite talk radio in the car during the day. Ed Shultz, Thom Hartman, Stephanie Miller...
Find me here instead!
Main source is The Economist. I don't read a ton of news online, mostly stuff I get pointed to from here.
New York Times, Bloomberg News & CNBC mostly during the day.
Just CBS news at night usually
Mostly here, honestly.
Sometimes cnn.com or bbc.com. I used to listen to npr a lot, but lately I really don't have the time.
Yes to Daily Show as well. Bummed this week is repeats with so much going on.
It sounds terrible but I get most of my national news from osmosis. Most of my close friends work in US politics/policy so I just glom things from them. I mean, I look for more information if something piques my interest, but in terms of "this happened today" I just kind of hear about it. When I'm outside the US I tend to get really disconnected from US news.
I have a bunch of really random specialized blogs in my google reader (Sahel Blog, what's up!) and I get a lot of news from ForeignPolicy.com. Oh and I watch a lot of the foreign TV channels, partly for news/analysis and partly for entertainment. Al-Jazeera being an example of the former, Ethiopian TV and Russia Today the latter
For local news I read blogs and neighborhood listservs. Because WaPo SUCKS at covering things happening in Washington.
NPR, Maddow, and some special interest blogs, mostly for feminist and skeptical/science issues.
Oh, and of course this board.
ETA, NPR includes BBC's The World.
Mainly, I watch/listen to Morning Joe on MSNBC almost every day for political news. I look at cnn.com, msnbc.com periodically throughout the work day. I go to Huffington post. I watch the Nightly News a few times a week. That is about it.
DD #1 passed away in January 2011 at 14 days old due to congenital heart disease
DD#2 lost in January 2012 at 23 weeks due to anhydramnios caused by a placental abruption
I think Newsweek and TDB run too much together now that it's hard to tell them apart.
I forgot to name Morning Joe. I love that show and have to watch it sneakily while DH is in the shower or after he leaves b/c he thinks it's just a bunch of liberals spouting off. He's never seen it.
I get a lot of my news from here - posters on this board tend to be quick with posting links to breaking stories etc.
I also get a lot of information from NPR in the mornings, CNN's website but sometimes that takes work to sort through the fluff ha, and my AP app on my phone. I use my NYTimes app occasionally but not that frequently.
