Where do you normally get your credible news from?

[MovingTarget]

NPR, Reuters, CNN, BBC, CSPAN, Dailyshow/Colbertreport, CNBC, ATPN. Usually in that order.

where is npr/pbs?

Wouldn't that be covered by the "not popular" option?

When in the car, I listen to NPR almost exclusively, and can say that there's no better option for long-format news stories. They do have a mild liberal bias, but it's no worse than the conservative bias of Fox News or Wall Street Journal.

Heh, the local NPR station just so happens to be doing its funding drive right now... Arg.

It's good to be honest and face up to your problems.

Says the man who gets his from BBC...

Are you honestly trying to compare the two? Even if you throw out Fox's blatant bias, and the BBC's...well...british (I guess) bias, the BBC is lightyears ahead of the Murdoch crew by any journalistic measure. FOX could never hold a candle to the depth of reporting the BBC has done.

 

[silverpig]

CBC radio, CBC newsworld, globe and mail online, local forums, AT

 

[Moonbeam]

Objectivity is had by ego death, where the lover and the beloved are one. In such a state you will know everything because you will be everything.

 

[ranmaniac]

Yahoo headlines
Houston Chronicle
Drudge
BBC
Infowars
Rense

 

[LTC8K6]

I check out several sources, apply some mental filtering and averaging, and try to decide what the true story really is.

I no longer trust any single source.

No wonder you're so twisted.

You're wasting your time...

I get mine from the 100% unbiased news source that is P&N...

Last I checked google wasn't a news reporting place, just a search engine. If you don't know your source through them, I would say it counts as second hand.

Oh and NPR is national radio and a national PBS program is like national TV, while a local PBS program is local news.

Glad to see we have a lot of participation and mix of choices in the poll!

 

[kage69]

Reuters, the BBC, Salon, NYT, WSJ, NPBN, C-SPAN, not too much CNN anymore though, they've become almost a big a joke as Faux...

JS80:

Fox News, WSJ, Drudge.

Well that explains a lot...

 

[Insomniator]

Fox News.

Maybe they aren't biased but just correct?

no way...

 

[piasabird]

This poll is pure bullshit. I question any news I get from any national source. I dont trust CNN any more than FOX. In fact I dont trust any network source at all. It was clear during the election that most media sources were in the Tank for Obama, and had thrown all resemblence of journalism out the window. None of them can be trusted.

 

[acheron]

Google News mainly. Washington Post (which is my local paper) and WSJ too. And random blogs.

 

[wirelessenabled]

Need to get news from many and varied sources.

I look at Excite, Yahoo, BBC, Anandtech, local TV website on daily basis.

Read local newspaper daily, subscribe to The Economist, Newsweek, Foreign Affairs, Aviation Week and many others.

Watch local TV news, CNN, PBS, FOX, Daily Show & Colbert, CSPAN, Sunday news programs.

Radio listen to NPR, Hannity (as long as I can stand him), Mark Levine, local hosts.

How else do you sort it out? Having only one news source is useless.

 

[Malfeas]

PBS: Business News Nightly, BBC, then Jim Lehrer News Hour. Sometimes Charlie Rose.

Internet: Google News, WSJ online (for the humor value)

 

[gevorg]

raw news: AP, Reuters, Bloomberg

biased news: NYT, BBC

 

[calyco]

Google News and NY Times mainly, NY1 for local news.

 

[MegaWorks]

I don't get anything privately owned by the Bilderberg Group or the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR)'s propaganda.

 

[lightstar]

P&N is my link to the outside world

 

[BrownTown]

"Shotgun" approach, look at a little of each and then make my own decision. 95% of what is in the "news" is worthless crap anyways, there are usually only a couple of stories a week that I actually give a crap about.

 

[bipartisanpwnage]

CNN, MSNBC, CNBC, internet stuff, radio, the NYT, basically anything that isn't FOX.

But then you won't know what the wingnuts are up to.

I check in from time to time. Mainly when I feel the need to projectile vomit while simultaneously having diaherra of the explosive variety. I usually drink some tabasco sauce 30 mins before this happens to make the event even more unpleasant.
