Where do you get your news?
« on: October 03, 2013, 06:07:01 AM »
Seeing as every source has its own bias.

I've become fond of the guardian since they outed the NSA.  I also listen to NPR, but sometimes have to change the channel because they oversimplify and/or *really* slant things (they're liberal as hell, which is fine by me, but the blatant slanting can be obnoxious).

I have a friend who says he gets everything from reddit.
it is well known that PMS Elle is evil.
I think you'd fit in a 12" or at least a 16" firework mortar
You win this thread because that's most unsettling to even think about.

From all over the internet.

I don't read newspapers or watch TV anymore. I get angry every time I mistakenly do it. Try one month without TV and newspapers and you will most probably react in the same way.

That's classified information. You are now a person of interest.

I listen a lot when I am driving to an all news station out of NYC at home i  read a lot of  different news sites across the political spectrum.  I also like Google News because it links to so many sources for the same story if one seems a bit slanted you can check another and compare them which is what I often do

I've gone longer than that without.  :P

Or do you mean, you don't read anything on the internet that's an electronic form of a newspaper?

It happens that I do. I usually get as angry as when I read a "real" newspaper.

I try to avoid everything that is politically correct, which is hard, since most media in Sweden are like they were in the Soviet Union.

Getting my news from various sources, when gathering news. There are times I do opt for ignoring it all though.

It helps that my country has dozens of political parties, makes that there will be comments from all kinds of POV on almost every bit of news. Knowing the "colour" of the source helps too, to read more critical.

And, there is the application of logic, on what is written.

Funny example was what I read in a paper the other day, about vegetarians having 12% less of mortality, compared to non vegetarians. ........ And it isn't even April 1.

Lots of journalist just mix up some data into a saucy piece of text, without understanding what they are writing about.
