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.
