Where do you get your news?

[Replies: 11]
Seeing how the newspapers are having a harder time surviving in this day and time I am wondering where do you get your news from? Newspaper, TV, Internet or Radio?
Who do you think reports the news better?

This 'Bombshell' Took a Year Falling
By Adam Morrow & Khaled Moussa al-Omrani

A recent article in Vanity Fair magazine "exposing" a U.S.-planned coup attempt against Palestinian resistance movement Hamas last year has ignited a storm of debate about Washington's Middle East policies.

Yet for more than nine months, details of the plot were reported in the independent Arabic press -- and elsewhere -- leading some observers to ask:

where was the mainstream media?

And where I get news ---

L. A. Times(read almost daily)
CNN (American Morning Show)
Channel 4 news (morning when I switch off CNN).
KCAL 9(for evening news)

Overall for Los Angeles, I think the L.A. Times does a good job. Last year L.A. times staff writer Jill Levy started a murder blog. She started this because so many blacks and Latino's murders don't get mentioned in the paper. So many stories, so sad.

I cannot say one straight station. While I love Anderson Copper and Wolf Blitzer(Serious News Names LOL), I tend to look at overseas news stations to get the nitty gritty because they tend to refer to America Bs as American Bs, they also never fail to put that extra ish that most of the news stations here are owned by the people they talk about...i.e. The paper is usually a crock of crap until you get to few honest Gus's left ;).

I like to conduct my own research, but you have to be careful because you may find out something you did not want to know....

occasionally internet (cnn), but mostly overheard conversations of co-workers.
tv news is generally so stupid and wrong -- if it wasn't for their mealy-mouthed journalism that reports only sensational crime, maybe we wouldn't have HIM getting re-elected.
fox news headquarters is probably going to get national disastered sometime within this decade? god don't like ugly.
when i hear bs, i kind of miss some things, but when i read it, its very, very clear to me.
