I think this is an important question as it has an effect on the perspective you are receiving your information from. I personally enjoy NPR but I know many folks who get theirs from other places.

There's a poll too!
 
probably 50% NPR and the other 50% split between newspapers/magazines I follow on twitter and Newser (aggregator).
 
The Drudge Report is an aggregate of many sources. Just like Fark is. So it doesn't fit in the same category as wikileaks and huffer.

Local news: online 2 local papers sltrib & deseretnews, ksl website
knrs radio(political commentary and hear local news in between)

Check Fark headlines for amusing news

Drudge for political and disaster news...links take me to all the news sources you have listed.

If I want to see political interviews or disasters/big stories I go to Fox.

Politico for political news/commentary clips.

I also read some blogs or columns that link to news stories.
 
Oh and jon stewart, colbert, and maher. I don't count those as news though just really entertaining, but definitely more opinion than news.
 
I peruse a mix, so I marked "Other". There was no cheese option or I would have picked that. You need to be sure to include a cheese option next time.

Anyway I visit local and national "newspaper" sites, CNN, Newser, WSJ, Economist, and of course The Onion, all of them sporadically. Yahoo is my home page and they do a decent job of breaking interesting stuff in their feeds, not really full news on anything but a nice quickie for new stories with good variety. I guess I am a serial web surfer.

Hell someone has to do it, the web isn't going to surf itself!

Rush Limbaugh sits next to me at work, MSNBC.com is down the hall, I-hate-everything-mormons-are-for is buzzing everywhere, WSJ Report for about 5 minutes in the morning, and to top it all off, drinking lots of cheap beer and making **** up to piss everyone off.
 
And you do it so well.
 
Reddit, Twitter, various podcasts, local radio, some NPR, one or two blogs, and constant, biased rants from one of my professors.
 
My top three sources are typically (a) SL Tribune (and website), (b) Deseret News (and website), and (c) Yahoo news. Then if a particular story interests me, I'll often look for more sources.
 
After the flaming that republicans and conservatives get on this forum I wonder in anyone who actually watches Fox would admit to it.

When we had TV I watched FOX occasionally. With the internet as my primary purveyor of prominent public promulgations I rarely turn to the standard TV news websites.

Click to expand...

I used to watch it fairly often, but stopped a few years ago. It was probably around the time that "Hannity and Colmes" became just "Hannity", or maybe a couple of years before that, and when O'Reilly started being much more actively right-wing. Prior to that I had watched the O'Reilly factor several times a week probably from ~1996-2005.

I'm a registered Republican, and consider myself a moderate conservative. But FoxNews these days is too right-wing even for me.
