What are your main sources of News?

[Ron Mexico]

Some of these discussions got me wondering what people like to read for their news/information. Do you read or watch anything particular for it? I think the majority of Americans now get their news from facebook.

Personally I scan three papers online most days. The NYTimes, Al Jazeera and maybe a little less often but still regularly the Christian Science Monitor. I found those three to be pretty well rounded and all around good news reporting. I also read KSL even though I dislike it, it is convenient for local news and has the best classifieds. If I want local news and a decent perspective on it ill go to SLTrib but for whatever reason I dont read it as much as KSL. I read journals religiously but more for my work and not as much for anything else.

I dont really watch anything for news anymore. I used to watch the Daily Show until Jon Stewart left. Even though a South African (wife and family are South African) took over and I wanted to like him/the show I dont as much. I watch Jon Oliver sometimes but mostly just when my wife tells me to watch a funny clip. I used to listen to a lot of conservative talk radio, mostly because I found it entertaining but I rarely do now. I never watch the actual news on any station but I guess I see clips sometimes. I would prefer to read the news over watching it.

What do you read/watch? Maybe ill add a new one to my list if anyone has good ones.

[Ron Mexico]

I started reading the Drudge report after they broke the Clinton sex scandal story. I stopped reading them regularly quite a few years ago since they tend to only post conservative friendly stories and tend to have an agenda. But overall I like reading it occasionally and get linked to it frequently.

Jazzfanz

Jazzfanz

I guess that should be at the top of my list as well. Super biased and Jazz leaning but all around solid info as long as you avoid the following peoples posts: ...

 

[Gameface]

NPR
CNN online
SLTrib online
My phone's news feed

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

I really dont have a go to news source, I kind of just read what pops up on twitter and google w/e it is for further information.

I'm a big fan of fark.com. Lots of news articles and the like and the community is great

The Sunday Herald-Sun

It looks really flashy. Like a Tabloid's are here. But the articles look like it is a major just all-around normal paper in Australia.

 

[colton]

Not including sports, my main news sources are these, roughly in this order:
Google News (computer and Android)
News Republic (Android app)
Yahoo News website
Washington Post website
Fox News TV
Deseret News website
KSL radio
CNN website

Obviously the top three are compilers, which makes my sources much more diverse than they might otherwise seem.

 

[♪alt13]

NPR(includes CBC, BBC, & PRI)

Beyond that it depends on what I want to learn about. I try to understand other people, that means reading their news.

I listen to NPR off and on depending on my mood for sports, talk radio, comedy or music while driving.

I wouldn't peg you as a Fox News guy or do you mean the local fox news?

No, I mean FNC. But not all of their shows. Can't stand Hannity, for example. I'll watch bits of their morning show while eating breakfast fairly frequently, and Megyn Kelly sometimes at night. Sometimes O'Reilly (Waters' world segment usually cracks me up), sometimes The Five. If the commentary gets too over the top right wing, then I just fast forward on my TiVo

All in all it balances out Yahoo news, which can often get very left wing.

 

[ConradA24]

I used to check a few news sites daily.
msn.com
Foxnews.com
Ksl.com
Aol.com

Since having kids my anxiety went through the roof reading the news, so now my news is talking to other people, JazzFanz, Facebook, but I will still occasionally check ksl.com.

lol sorry yeah that was a bit tongue in cheek, it's a little dumbed down .. best know for obvious play on words funny headlines !

i actually tend to like BBC for world news

I don't ever surf 'websites' really-- all of my news is from Twitter, and I click on the links after reading some blurb associated with the link.

There's tons of trash journalists across pretty much every massive paper, but there's a couple of good ones still left over from paper to paper. I find it way better to just follow the journalists you like on Twitter, and branch off from there.


- I like Bill Maher's panel format on his HBO show even tho I'm not really a fan of most of his takes
- I find myself reading a ton of the stuff that the Intercept publishes-- an online publication created by Glenn Greenwald of Ed Snowden fame. Their stuff is primarily investigative journalism and it generally makes for a good read (albeit generally depressing).
- their takes on the US generally blow, but the Guardian has two good writers that I closely follow

The Post is meh, the WSJ is meh, the Times are meh. Financial Times is trash, all Cable News is trash. Each will have maybe 1 good article for every 20-30 bad ones. There isn't a single paper or media source out there that I read in entirety. Twitter is the ****.
