What sources for news do you mostly use? I mainly use CNN.com, Yahoo news and Fox news, but I'd like to start branching out a little more. I like Drudge's assortment of news sources, but I get tired that they're all slanted one way.

I think The Week magazine does a good job of summarizing how multiple sources (biased both ways) cover the headline stories. Also, Reuters, BBC, Christian Science Monitor (surprisingly)

11/26/2013 1:41:38 PM

Al Jazeera English, The Guardian, Democracy Now, NPR (not so much, anymore).

Major American media outlets are a horrible source of information, in my opinion. A great source for large graphic headlines, though.

The Week is excellent

as is the Atlantic/Atlantic Wire

CNN.com and WRAL.com are my main online news sources. NPR & BBC are my main radio news sources. News & Observer and Qnotes are the newspapers I check most often.

I do regularly read some LGBT blogs, but I wouldn't quite file those under the news category, any more than I would file TWW, facebook, or twitter as news sites. But sometimes those sources will prompt me to research stories I wouldn't have heard about otherwise through real news sources.

Reason Magazine.

11/26/2013 10:12:34 PM

Wral.com, zerohedge.com, huffpo, drudge, cnn. Typically in that order

11/26/2013 10:15:07 PM

Fox News, The Blaze.

11/26/2013 10:22:06 PM

I'm never sure if you are being serious

11/26/2013 11:02:35 PM

News.google.com

The Atlantic is good
LA Times
CS Monitor

The Vice magazine Facebook page has good reports on interesting things.

11/26/2013 11:20:03 PM

The Blaze, HAHAHAHAHA

11/27/2013 10:24:11 AM

General news is Yahoo because it's my homepage. CNN for major world events. The Atlantic, Slate, Salon, Reason, Mother Jones for more in-depth stuff and politics. Sometimes Alternet. Digg, Mashable, io9 more for entertainment. The Atlantic is probably my favorite. They have great photo series of world events and photo contests.

11/27/2013 5:18:47 PM

Mostly Al Jazeera English / NPR / BBC

11/27/2013 5:54:07 PM

hahaha i had never heard of The Blaze until just now. I went to the site and lololololololololololololololololol

11/28/2013 9:58:45 AM

I'm fairly confident that Smath was joking.

That said, News: NPR, Rachel Maddow, Lawrence O'Donnell
Entertainment: Rush Limbaugh, Redstate, Fox News/Nation, Breitbart

He definitely was not. That's why it's so funny.

11/28/2013 12:11:06 PM

I didn't want this to be a criticism of one's sources. But if you're gonna make fun of The Blaze then you're gonna have to make fun of Mother Jones too. Not that I personally use either one, but they are both on the far edges of the politics to which they subscribe.

11/28/2013 12:29:46 PM

Mother Jones is a legitimate, left leaning source. They broke the 47% Mitt Romney thing. They are actually journalists and they still put out print editions. They are the Reason of the left.

The Blaze is a lie factory full of fake reports and shitty journalism. It's more apt to compare it to AlterNet or something.

Taki's Magazine and American Thinker






(jk jk jk it's actually NPR, BBC World Service, Ars Technica, and whatever FactCheck and Politifact steer me to)
