Used to read newspapers at work, but now I read techdirt.com for tech news and Russia Today once every blue moon. And I read any article that sparks my interest from my facebook news feed. But I don't do that much news. I think local news is a huge waste of time and braincells.

Eh? I dunno if you're speaking to me, but if so, most of the sources I gave are Conservative.

I used to really like The Week. They present the main idea of a current topic, then site other articles that usually for, against and to the point of the topic. But, they've become less about actual news and more about things like, no kidding, Why is the font on the Drive movie poster pink?

As for the TV news, as long as you know how to separate the talking heads and opinions from the actual news, they're basically all the same. Anderson Cooper and Shepard Smith are two anchors I listen to on a more than occasional basis.

I'm a massive fan of NPR, and I'll occasionally have either CNN or MSNBC on. Sometimes, though, the news can just be a bit much for me. It seems like 90% of the subjects they cover are negative, depressing, shocking, etc... Why not focus on the more positive things happening in the world, too?

EDIT: That was a rhetorical question... I know why they cover what they cover (it gets better ratings). I just have this naive hope/wish that they may change a bit.

For major international news, the BBC or Sky. Then a trip over to RT and Al Jazeera for comparison.
Don't bother with newspapers anymore, but the Independent online isn't bad.

My mama says that news is the devil, so she tells me what I need to know.

Whats negative? What would you cover that's positive?

I listen to news talk radio in my car, mostly. A local Conservative channel (KPEL 96.5).
Other than that, I have a few different news apps on my phone, but I generally just have a quick glance at them when I'm on the sh*tter or something.

I try to tune into a wide variety of news media.

When at home I channel surf the major 24-hour cable news outlets. However I have started boycotting MSNBC due to their blacklisting of Pat Buchanan. :mad:

At work I listen to NPR when I have a chance and the local NPR affiliate has alot of local news too.

I also like Jeff Rense as well! :yeah:
